Satanic Infiltration
Witchcraft, manipulation and control are tools of evils spirits who work through Ahabs (morally weak men) and Jezebels in the church world to ultimately bring sin, sickness, and death. This is a most diabolical threat to the operation of the body of Christ today. Jesus holds the men most responsible (Revelation 2:20-24).
Those who have control issues simply have not given the control of their own lives over to the LORD and therefore operate in the witchcraft of controlling others – something that God forbids as they usurp HIS place in the lives of others. True repentance needed and to denounce the sin of self-idolatry, spiritual adultery, and witchcraft.
***Beware of those who call themselves intercessors today, namely groups of women who behind the guise of prayer are working their control, manipulations, and witchcraft for their master Satan (whether wittingly or unwittingly). They are lifting up what they think are powerful prayers, but they are carnally driven. Therefore they wield the sword of witchcraft. What I mean by that is they project soulish prayers by yelling, demanding, repetitious, screaming at the top of their lungs in the name of spiritual warfare.
Even the sending out prayers and breaking this and that over people can be witchcraft….. much of what is called “spiritual warfare” today in the apostate modern church is actually “spiritual witchcraft.” God will not deliver any person who will not turn their heart toward Him in real repentance (2 Corinthians 3:14-16; James 4:7). We should simply ask God in Jesus’ name and trust Him to do things and stay clear of adding to that simple Scriptural prescription. “Let your requests be made know unto God.” (Philippians 4:6)
Biblical Deliverance Prescription-Wholeness in Christ [podcast]
THE ONLY WAY TO ESCAPE THE EVIL ONE CONTROLLING YOUR LIFE IS SUBMISSION TO GOD WHICH BEGINS WITH UNRESERVED REPENTANCE THEN RESULTS IN ABIDING FELLOWSHIP (JAMES 4:7).
These ladies are presumptuously demanding their own self-serving desires for an outcome that is not the will of the FATHER and some that oppose Scripture. They are not truly repentant with laid down lives and therefore are not seeking the sovereign will of our heavenly FATHER.
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Philippians 4:6
In Scripture, there is no mention for a specific calling or ministry for a special core of intercessors. In other words, there doesn’t seem to be a specific intercessory ministry listed in Scripture as in there aren’t just a few special people called out to do this and organize themselves as we see done today. Interceding is for all believers, not just a specific group of individuals. ALL believers are to intercede in prayer to the Father through the Great Intercessor Jesus (Hebrews 7:24-25, etc.). These that we are speaking of here act as if THEY are the reason things are coming to pass or prayers are being answered. One of the characteristics of Jezebels who are allowed to operate is that they take undue glory to themselves for things happening – acting as if THEIR prayers were the only reason that things happened. Jezebel is known by her complete SELF-absorption. They are very self-important. By that I mean they seek to subtly draw attention to themselves as “mighty warriors” for Christ who are more important than others. Any Bible student knows that this is totally un-christlike (Matthew 18:3-4; Philippians 2:3-5). Many of those who call themselves intercessors today are nothing more than a coven of witches planted right in the middle of some local churches (namely the IHOP, NAR, charismatic, KC, dominionism). Satan has targeted and infiltrated the “sanctuary.” (Psalms 74:4-7) There are pastor’s wives whom their husbands also erroneously call “pastors.” And, they train the gullible congregation to do the same. Using that unbiblical title (for a woman) to draw attention to themselves, feigning legitimacy, these women lead up intercessory prayer groups that are nothing more than of jezebellian witches who wield control over the pastor and the decisions. Beware. Pass this warning on.
History does repeat itself (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Right where you’d assume the truth would be communicated there was falsehood. Principally this represents all that claims to be representing Christ, the Christian leaders, local churches, etc.
“Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.” Jeremiah 23:15
Jerusalem was the place of God’s people, the capitol city of their nation and yet “from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.”
Women praying is a huge blessing. PRAYER is taught to us throughout God’s Word. What we are getting at here is the misuse of it. The power, access, righteousness, and glory is only in the Great Mediator though no matter who is praying (1 Timothy 2:5). “NO flesh should glory in his presence.” (1 Corinthians 1:29) Prayer misused to control God and others is witchcraft. Any person (like myself) who has been a part of an NAR or charismatic or so-called prophetic church knows about this.
“Yes, and Amen! Most of the intercessory prayer groups are a cover for a place of ill-gotten power!” Mark
Luanne Hisle sets the record straight when she writes:
“I don’t mean to be rude but “intercessor” as a title??? What’s that all about? I believe the Bible teaches that we ALL have the same access to the Lord through prayer in Jesus’ name. I used to consider myself a so-called ‘intercessor’ too but I have since learned that is just prideful terminology. My prayers have an equal but no greater chance of being heard by the Lord than anyone else’s. All believers’ prayers are heard by the Lord and are answered according to His will. Sometimes the answer is yes; sometimes it is no; and sometimes it is wait a little while. I am just hoping that those who use this title of ‘intercessor’ will think about this. Giving yourself a title like that just comes across somehow as being a little arrogant or something.”
Deceivers utilize and hide behind prayer, healing, and deliverance as a facade/smokescreen to make it look like they have good intentions. Yet, there is no purity or biblical accuracy in what these groups are doing. In fact, many of them are being utilized of the enemy of souls, right in the middle of the church world while feigning to be of God. After all, who’s going to question the emphasis on prayer, healing, and deliverance, right? Well, beware because there are people who are organized by their “deliverance” and “healing” ministries. Beware when you hear these terms being used to name a ministry because this should immediately indicate imbalance. The remnant disciple of Christ identifies with Him – the nail-scarred risen Savior – and all of who He is and what He came to do and not just one of His ministry components. Most, if not every so-called healing or deliverance ministry I have ever encountered needed healing and deliverance themselves. Beware!
The divine command to “FORGET NOT ALL His benefits” is important (Psalms 103:2) Remember that none of the abuse of truth negates or diminishes from the blessed salvation that is Christ – who is immoveable and unchanging. We must never blame God or neglect the benefits revealed in His Word because deceived souls have perverted it.
The LORD provided a complete salvation which includes forgiveness of sins, divine empowerment, healing, deliverance, answered prayer, and a myriad of “benefits.” (Psalms 103:2; Luke 4:18; Acts 1:8, etc.).
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” Psalms 103:1-5
“All his benefits” come as a result of knowing Jesus and are not to be used to manipulate, deceive, and draw attention to oneself or a supposed “ministry.”
“Jezebel and her Witchcrafts”
To the son of Ahab and Jezebel, the prophet cited “the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?” (2 Kings 9:22) Many wolves have given way to – suffered/allowed Jezebel to subversively operate under the guise of doing ministry for Christ. Jesus addresses this specifically in Revelation 2:20-24. Jezebel is metaphoric of the original Jezebel who ruled out of her rebellion and by means of manipulation, deceit, and cunning craftiness. When compromising, weak, rebellious men suffer/allow a woman or women to operate outside of God’s ordained role for them, that opens the door for that evil antichrist spirit of Jezebel to wreak havoc, bringing death and destruction. In the household or church, when women begin to use the feminine gifts God gave them to manipulate men for their own selfish gain, it is brazen Jezebellian witchcraft. Jesus only used the phrase “the depths of Satan” once and He was specifically referring to the allowance of women operating outside God’s ordained purpose for them (Jezebel). See Revelation 2:20-24.
“Witchcraft” is listed as a soul-damning work of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21). Witchcraft boils down to rebellion and control. When a person is rebelling against God and therefore not giving over control of their life to Him, they will try to control Him and others. The LORD never sanctioned any human being to control another human being. Any of us is capable of seeking to control others (witchcraft) when we are not giving the LORD the control of our own personal lives. This is a sin and, the last time I checked, it’s a full-time job keeping ourselves under the control or leadership of Christ and His Holy Spirit (Romans 8:12-14).
“Jezebel cut off the prophets of the Lord.” (1 Kings 18:4) Folks, Jezebel (spirit of antichrist) warred fiercely against Elijah and the prophets of God and will continue to war against the true servants of the LORD. In fact, gentlemen, if you are not drawing fire from Jezebel, you may wish to examine your life with Christ. Your fruitfulness in relation to Him is in question. You know, it should greatly concern us if a Jezebel isn’t attacking us for Christ’s – the Truth’s – sake. When Jezebel attacks, “rejoice” because you are like Elijah, a man of truth! (Matthew 5:10-12)
Naboth, Ahab, Jezebel – 1 Kings 21
Jezebel rewards those Christ-rejecting compromisers whom she has captured and who are in the grasp of her dark hand. Example: She got Naboth’s vineyard for Ahab and fed, clothed, and provided for the false prophets who compromised the truth for temporal gain (1 Kings 21; 18:19b). She viciously attacks those who oppose her illegitimate authority as she did with Elijah. Those who refuse to join her rebellion become her target as was the case of Elijah and Naboth. Jezebel seeks to kill anyone who opposes her as she had Naboth killed by false accusation and stoning (1 Kings 21). After killing Naboth Ahab received his cursed reward – an award that was ill-gotten by wicked Jezebel. After killing Naboth, Ahab and Jezebel took over his property and position. They slayed their victim to obtain his goods (21:18) but their “success” is short lived and yet their judgment will be eternal (1 Kings 21:19-24). The same is true today – Ahabs or weak men who do not obey God’s order “suffereth” or allow Jezebels to usurp places of leadership God never ordained and they falsely accuse, slay, and exploit their victims. But Jesus says He will “kill her children with death.” (Revelation 2:20-24) This evil spirit behind is in full operation today. Jezebel kills her opponent, that is, anyone who dares oppose her and her agenda. She then takes over their property and position. Like the original Jezebel, her reign will be short lived and her suffering eternal. The LORD holds men accountable. Jezebel rewards the weak minded Ahabs (morally spineless men) who submit to her illegitimate authority (1 Kings 21:19; 18:19b). As He did in the case of Ahab and Jezebel, God holds that man responsible – “But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.” (1 Kings 21:25) As He did in this case, he will also eternally judge the Jezebels but begins with judgment upon the non-negotiable male headship (Ahab). Men will answer to the LORD for what God has made them responsible over. Being weak is no option since the man is called to fear and serve the LORD first and foremost and supremely – regardless of the cost.
“Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.” Proverbs 31:3
Like Lemuel’s mother (see verse above), God-fearing women always teach their boys (in child training) not to give their strength, role, or calling/authority over to women because God holds the male responsible. Perhaps there is no better place for a young boy to learn this truth than from his own mother. God will hold the man accountable first and foremost and not the woman and so young boys must be taught this in the fear of the LORD. The LORD demonstrates that he will even hold the man (Ahab) accountable in cases involving the infamous, original Jezebel (1 Kings 21). The Ahabs of today are the same as the original Ahab who enabled Jezebel. We are given this information and insight for our own learning in this late hour (Romans 15:4; 1 Corinthians 10:11). Ahabs are morally spineless men who enable the Jezebel(s) around them by not stepping up to lead in the authority of Christ which is only granted to those men who truly fear and literally serve Him. In their absence in refusing to lead, the Jezebel is emboldened to seek to fill that void. This truth should quicken all God-fearing men to hasten to the LORD in obedience concerning their own personal daily lives with Jesus, their families, wives, children, and ministry serving. Notice how that Jezebel rewards the morally spineless, weak-minded Ahabs who submit to her illegitimate authority (1 Kings 21:19; 18:19b). She entices them with provision, a steady paycheck, and other benefits to gain their idolatrous, man-pleasing allegiance. The men who choose to serve the LORD instead of compromising with “the spirit of antichrist” working through Jezebel individuals and ministries pay a big price. They are ousted, shunned, and starved. This is why we need more Obadiahs in this late hour. Obadiahs put their money where their mouth is and ransom their lives to protect and provide for God’s true servants whom He has called out and who speak His naked truth without compromise (1 Kings 18:4).
Jezebel Stirs Up Rebellion
While the God-fearing woman’s effect is to prayerfully and quietly curtail and diminish evil, Jezebel does just the opposite. Watch this:
“But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. 26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.” 1 Kings 21:25-26 (KJV)
Instead of Jezebel being used of the LORD to bring conviction to Ahab by her “meek and quiet spirit,” she boisterously and brazenly takes up the mantle of leadership reserved for the man (1 Peter 3:4). The excuse she uses is that everyone is wrong (except her of course) and no men are standing forth and doing God’s will. Jezebels learn a few verses and then run off thinking they are fit to lead men, exercising authority over men which is a rebellion against the clear teachings of Scripture (1 Corinthians 14:33-35; 1 Timothy 2:11-14). One woman who fears God wrote this of today’s Jezebels:
“I do indeed think that the Lord knows absolutely best and if in any way I go against the Lord, I pray the rod of correction will come my way. Eternity is at stake here. We women are too quick to self-justify ourselves according to our own self-serving motives even in subtle ways thinking and even saying ‘God knows my heart.’ But your heart doesn’t matter and what you mean to be doing (your misguided intention) doesn’t matter if you are opposing the Word of God which is the truth by which we stand or fall.”
Without qualification, Jesus promised: “I will kill her (Jezebel’s) children with death.” Jezebel “stirred up” her husband to do evil (1 Kings 21:25). Her rebellion encouraged Ahab to sin more profoundly and brought death and destruction to more souls in Israel including their own lineage. By her rejection of Christ and His Word, Jezebel is given over to the master of puppets himself (Satan) and is a tool in his evil hand to bring forth death to many (Revelation 2:20-24). Jesus told us that Satan is come “to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10)
“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. 21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 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. 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. 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.” Revelation 2:20-24
Now, contrast the God-fearing virtuous daughter of the Most High with what we just learned about Jezebel and her daughters who are plentiful today:
“Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. 7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.” 1 Peter 3:1-7

MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“I understand Jezebel is in the Church and I expose ‘it’ in my book. But not all women’s groups or Intercessors are witchcraft and Jezebel as most like to silence women today with that name calling. This spirit also operates in men and there are men’s intercessory groups too. Its a spirit not a person although she was the queen to king Ahab in the old testament. Am a Woman, an Intercessor by calling and pray with groups of women and men. Now is this? witchcraft? How do you explain Romana 8:26? What did Jesus turn to the women and say in Luke 23:28? How can he generalize all women’s intercessory groups??? This is not of the HOLY Spirit of my living JESUS!” Greta

“Nice. Thanks for telling it like it is. I have seen this happen, and it usually glorifies themselves – and belittles the men in the church. I have even seen a church where a woman was offering special teaching meetings held in the church basically on “how to pray.” The men were supposed to be good little students while she taught – so they could absorb from her wisdom. Yikes. Very needed teaching. Grace and peace.” Chris S.

“I am so thankful that you are addressing these subjects brother. Short personal story: I went to one intercession group by this woman and her husband and another couple who were close friends of theirs. A horrible spirit of control -Jezebel spirit was all over this woman who hosted it at her home; leading this prayer group. It was just terrible TODD and a lot of folks came; men and women. She would always interrupt others as they prayed if she did not like the way it was going; Afterwards the two couples would have their own private post critique of the prayer time.. She would get angry at people and very impatient and interrupt to take control again. Well the FATHER ended this group of over twenty folks. It went on for about 6 months or so. She would call people if she was not happy with how the intercession went. I never forget it.” Marsha O.
Message Received:
“I agree…the world and the church has strayed so far from the Lord’s standards that if you openly state any of this information then you are accused of woman-hating or twisting scripture. When it is the exact opposite. Before I was born again, my world was a rat-race, godless and often times I felt insecure. I realize that the reason for the way I was feeling was b/c of the way I was living. When you get into the Word of God, you see there is an order and a place for all of us and when we decide to stray outside of that order, we face uncertainty. It is much more comforting to live the way God planned for us to live b/c He knows us inside and out and what we need. I am glad I found my way home b/c the world will use and abuse a woman and then she will turn around and do the same thing to the men through the “spirit of Jezebel.” Men and women have forgotten their roles.” Jenny D.
Reply:
Jenny, that one floored me … SO true … I get accused of that often … but by His grace I always try to point out that it’s the MEN who allow this when they are supposed to be leading, protecting, serving, honoring God and women … the weaker vessels … the word “suffereth” in Rev. 2:20-24 means TO ALLOW … that simple truth alone opens up the understanding of that passage about Jezebel…

Full of The Holy Ghost [podcast]
We must be empowered by our LORD to do HIS work (Acts 1:8).
When we are born again the Holy Spirit is in us (1 Jn 3:24; Rom 8:9,16)…. yet there is a baptismal measure, the full measure God wants to give us as a gift….. to empower His people (Acts 1:8; 2:38-39, etc.).
In order to have divine “power” to be Christ’s witness, one must be baptized with the Holy Ghost (Acts 1:8).
****WE MUST not only preach the original Gospel, we MUST be divinely empowered by the Author of that original Gospel! Acts 1:8 …. Are you born again and baptized with the Holy Ghost? If not, you are not yet equipped by Heaven to do the work of Christ! Acts 1:8 It’s only “AFTERRRRRR that the Holy Ghost is come upon you” that divine power floods your being to do God’s work. WHO ever taught us that WE can, WE are sufficient to do God’s work? Delusionment! Let’s do things GOD way saints. Beginning now. ARE YOU anointed by God to preach sinners and backsliders into Christ’s kingdom? (Acts 1:8)
The apostles thought it so important to make sure every born again kingdom saint was filled with the Holy Spirit. When some in Samaria were saved, Peter and John went down and that they’d be filled with the Spirit. Are you baptized with the Holy Ghost?
“Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.” Acts 8:14-17
Re-filled? Yes! While being persecuted for Jesus, the apostles cried out to the LORD…….
“And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, 30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. 31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.” Acts 4:29-31
“They had been filled before, but they were filled again. It is our privilege to claim repeated infillings to make good our leakage and evaporation.” FB Meyer
So many today are consumed with self, have not laid down their lives, and therefore do not care for people. They are too busy building their own empire, temporal ministry kingdom. But Jesus cares and came to set men free from sin and Satan.
Does the Devil oppress people? Notice that Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost and power to do what? To do men good and bring healing to “all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” When God is with us, He uses us to see that men get set free from the oppression of the devil. …. God has an answer for the work of Satan, doesn’t He?
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Acts 10:38

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.

4 Verse KJV Comparison [podcast]
Reading a fake “bible” is like still watching CNN. Let that sink in. Fake news.
See if you have a real Bible. I love the King James Bible. See if the BLOOD of Jesus has been removed from Colossians 1:14 in your “bible”. Also, see if Matthew 17:21 and Acts 8:37 are removed and if Romans 8:1 has been chopped in half.
IF YOU show your pastor this and he STILL refuses to ditch his satanically corrupted, Christ-attacking new version to begin using the King James Bible, RUN!
4 SILENCING VERSES – Here are the 4 verses I compare with people. There is rarely an argument when a King James and a new version are laid open and compared side by side. Watch this:
- Matthew 17:21 removed in new versions because Satan didn’t want God’s people to know how to cast him out
- Romans 8:1 chopped in half because Satan wants believers to believe his ‘once saved always saved’ lie
- Colossians 1:14 “through his BLOOD” removed because the LORD Jesus is Satan’s enemy
- 1 John 5:7 the clearest verse in the Bible on the triune nature of God all but removed because Satan didn’t want God’s people to understand the nature of the Godhead.
Take a look at these 4 verses compared and please explain why you haven’t burned Satan’s counterfeits of God’s Word ….
Oh, and Acts 8:37 is also removed from most of the fake “bibles” which leads people to believe they can be water baptized BEFORE they are saved.
“And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” Acts 8:37 KJB
CAN SOMEONE HELP WITH THIS QUESTION PLEASE: Can you explain why all these verses are missing from the fairy tale fake news “bibles” you are defending? WHAT side are you really on?
John Umlauf writes: “I have noticed how that the language used in most modern Bibles seems to be some of the weakest expressions one could ever come up with, while the King James is always bold and powerful. Why would an Almighty powerful God write a wimpy sissified book?”
John is correct: These new “bibles” read like fairy tales which is satanic mockery. Ear tickling instead of hear circumcising.
Never argue this topic, just show them. Write these verses above on a sticky and put them in your Bible. Memorize and cross-reference these references so you can be ready always to give an answer (1 Peter. 3:15).
MOST WHO EXCLUSIVELY READ THE KING JAMES BIBLE HAVE PERHAPS DONE JUST A LITTLE RESEARCH/COMPARISON WHICH LED TO SUCH A QUALITY DECISION. READING THE KJB IS NOT A MERE PREFERENCE BUT RATHER A CONVICTION BASED ON COMPARISON. ALL MOUTHS ARE SHUT WHEN VERSES ARE SIMPLY COMPARED.
No difference in the Bibles? Think again:
Luke 2:33 Compared
KJB
“And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken of him.”
NIV
“The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him.”
Read it again till it dawns on you.
IF you are wondering why so many disciples of Jesus are abandoning fake “bibles” and reading the King James Bible exclusively, wonder no more. Join the Chorus …. A tidal wave of believers are trashing Satan’s “bibles” for the real Bible! King James Bible. Here we will compare just 4 Bible verses and you will wonder no more.
If you are truly a man of God, a man of conviction and the holy fear of the LORD, it seems obvious that you will lose all respect for the corrupted “bibles” when you simply glance at a few comparisons, verse to verse. Here’s 4 verses compared ….
If you are okay with the BLOOD of Jesus being removed from Colossians 1:14 in Satan’s false “bibles,” perhaps you should seek God and consider if you are truly right with the One who shed that blood! WHY would anyone who has been washed in the precious blood of Jesus want anything to do with Christ’s enemy’s “bibles” that remove His blood?
WHAT’S the big deal with Bible versions? Compare just 4 verses and you have your answer.
Forget the original language and easy-to-read sales garbage: Use your God-given common sense and simply compare these 4 verses in our language – English! Case closed! Devil booted!
God gave us His Word in tangible/written form for a reason, not by accident because we can all be deceived (2 Timothy 3:16-17) ….. Did you know the new “bibles” removed Christ’s blood from Colossians 1:14? Did you know they removed Matthew 17:21, Acts 8:37, and chopped Romans 8:1 in half?
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.
If the fact that the BLOOD of Jesus is removed from Colossians 1:14 doesn’t convict someone, they are apparently not washed in the blood of Jesus without which there is no redemption, forgiveness, salvation (Hebrews 9:22).
“The Devil hates, hates, hates the King James Bible.” Tom Hames
NOT 1 DEFENDER OF SATAN’S NEW VERSION CORRUPTIONS OF GOD’S WORD Has answered these vital questions … 1. Where did Matthew 17:21 and Acts 8:37 go in your new per-version “bible”?, 2. In YOUR Vatican new version, 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?
Seems like people who are unteachable, bent on remaining in darkness, simply walk away upon being challenged to answer these 4 simple questions. Those who fear God are greatly convicted to get the real Bible after personally witnessing this Satanic butchering of God’s Word (John 8:47).
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.
Personally, I started out with the NIV (NOT inspired version) for a short time…. then compared these 5 verses and it was all over for the corrupted new versions …. Matthew 17:21; Acts 8:37, Romans 8:1; Colossians 1:14, 1 John 5:7 ….. Todd Tomasella
OKAY, please “explain” using Scripture, why this is okay in your mind ….. OR, realized you’ve been duped by the devil and get a real Bible, God’s Word, the King James Bible….. HOW can any sane person have an ounce of respect for these new versions? They have no credibility and are dirty, filthy, an attack on our LORD Jesus Christ. All who participated are going to the lake of fire as the enemies of the Almighty (Revelation 22:18-19). Where O where is the conviction, the fear of the LORD? (Psalms 97:10) There was no other English Bible needed after the King James Bible, the 7th English Bible in perfect fulfillment of the divine prophecy of Psalms 12:6-7). We only need the one real Bible and the Holy Spirit and diligent searching of His Word to be in God’s will with perfect sound doctrine. “God is not the author of confusion” and so there’s no need to read Satan’s counterfeits – at all (1 Corinthians 14:33). Personally I wonder how anyone could, with clear conscience, consult these words of Satan, these intentionally corrupt fake “bibles.”
WHY would you argue about a topic you have not researched? That is the work of a fool according to Proverbs 18:13. COMPARE FOR YOUR SELF!
—– The King James Bible is the divinely preserved Word of God for the English speaking world. See Psalms 12:6-7.
“All of these perversions are only possible because the people love to have it so (Jeremiah 5:31). No God-fearing, believing, obeying child of God would stand for the butcherment of God’s Word in the new versions. Too many people are not hearing from God because they are not listening. They are lazy and listening only to their preacher, teacher, leader, etc. On the day of judgment, ‘my preacher said’ will have no validity. Each believer is told to search the scriptures, prove all things and contend for the faith.” M.
—— The Bible versions issue is an important issue to say it lightly. From the beginning Satan has cast doubt on God’s Word – what He has stated – and it’s the epitome of gullibility to think the arch enemy of the LORD has ceased this activity. Remember how he added just one word to what God had said to the man and woman? And, that caused their fall? See Genesis 2:17; 3:4. Jesus says “Satan cometh immediately and taketh away the word.” (Mark 4:15) We are not to be “ignorant of his devices” and we learn that he continues to use the same exact tactics (2 Corinthians 2:11; 1 Corinthians 10:13). All who participate in adding to or taking away from God’s Word are guaranteed the plagues of the Book of Revelation which include eternity in the lake of fire (Revelation 22:17-18).
RECENTLY I was told by a guy who I suppose believes he’s a minister, that I was “splitting hairs” by saying the NIV is demonic garbage. I promptly asked him: Can you please explain how 1. the removal of the blood of Jesus from Colossians 1:14 is permitted of God, 2. the chopping of Romans 8:1 in half is sanctioned by the LORD, and 3. and how the complete removal of Matthew 17:21 and 64,000 words was “splitting hairs” or addressing something that is not ultra important?
In light of the words of Jesus in Revelation 22:18-19, you have to wonder why there is no holy conviction in those who can crassly overlook and even defend this butchery of God’s Word. In my opinion, those who can do so are in utter spiritual darkness.
Why is the most severe warning in Scripture concerning adding to and taking away from God’s words of which Jesus says “man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY word of God.” (Luke 4:4)
Testimony of true remnant, wise-virgin saint:
“Glad to say as soon as I left the Seeker Sensitive/Emergent Church The Holy Spirit prompted me to get a King James Bible. I was not sure why at the time BUT I know why now. So glad for the offense of the cross to bring me to godly sorrow that lead to repentance and a complete life and believe change from that which was heresy.” Nancy
Get to the juggler immediately: COMPARE these 4 verses and the case is closed shut for good…. the KJB is God’s Word, we needed no other, and the new versions are a demonic fraud: 1. Matt 17:21, 2. Rom. 8:1, 3. Col. 1:14, 1 John 5:7.
YOU WANT TO SHUT SOMEONE DOWN ON BIBLE VERSIONS?
Memorize these 4 references. NO need ever to argue. Silence will follow this simple, side-by-side comparison of these 4 verses. Again …
- Matt 17:21,
- Rom. 8:1,
- Col. 1:14,
- 1 John 5:7.
Sorry, but if someone sees for themselves that Satan has butchered God’s Word and stuck the words “Holy Bible” on the cover, and still has no problem with that…. such a person has no fear of God, no conviction, and is in deep darkness. Revelation 22:18-18 and Proverbs 30:5-6 anyone?
“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
“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield (Protector) unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5-6
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“Your information is not correct. Research to get fact before you post something attempting to convince the readers how right you are.”
REPLY:
Not correct? COMPARE these 4 verses and the case is closed shut for good…. the KJB is God’s Word, we needed no other, and the new versions are a demonic fraud: 1. Matt 17:21, 2. Rom. 8:1, 3. Col. 1:14, 1 John 5:7. … It simply doesn’t matter how convincing your argument sounds. When compare side-by-side God’s and Satan’s versions are openly manifested!
