Charlie Kirk just Endorsed the New Pope [podcast]
UPDATE: With great joy this post is updated.
Beware of those who are bearing false witness in this matter.
“But his wife was catholic” say the clowns. THAT doesn’t mean Charlie was catholic. Get over yourself. Actually the power of God in her husband is bringing his wife to Christ. The words she spoke yesterday make that clear.
“Charlie Kirk makes it very clear that he has mutual respect for catholics, but made it very clear that he was in disagreement with very important issues, And Remains protestant, NOT Catholic.” Jay Krause
I am reminded how he often stated that “I am an evangelical Christian.”
Charlie Kirk through the eyes of God’s Word. Podcast
Update: Charlie Kirk is ramping up his promotion of the catholic church. Orthodox is virtually the same and just as false. Beware. He’s a vatican shill, an accomplice, a pawn of Rome and most likely without knowing it. He’s a young man and Rome is expert is infiltrating and deception.
“And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” Revelation 17:5
Charlies Kirk claims he’s an “evangelical Christian” which is exactly how the vatican works. They use supposed Christians like Billy Graham and many others to get non-catholics to turn to and bow to Rome and its false salvation. This is the ecumenical movement and the coming together of the one world religion described in Revelation 17 and which will be destroyed in Revelation 18.
Charlie Kirk claims to be an “evangelical Christian” but never has spoken about being born again, a new creature in Christ, being washed in the blood or the precious blood of Jesus shed on the cross of calvary, etc. Apparently he’s got religion and is not regenerated. Beware. Charlie Kirk is now promoting the roman catholic cult. He’s a plant.
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1
Make no mistake: Charlie Kirk is being used by Satan to bring together the religions of the world to fulfill prophecy. He’s on the wrong side of history, prophecy.
“This ecumenical movement is rampant and it is puzzling how ‘evangelical leaders’ are deceived by it. True Biblical unity has the cross and Christ’s finished work as its center and foundation – we cannot have unity with any false way. The current political conservatism does not equate to Biblical Christianity – but trying to ‘save’ a nation will cost many to lose their soul.” Lynne Parker
What “faith” does Charlie Kirk want the “pope” to defend – the Catholic or the biblical faith?
True born again blood bought saints are mandated to:
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” Jude 3
If Kirk wants the “pope” to defend the catholic faith, such begs the following questions:
IF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE BIBLE, GOD’S WORD, THEN: Why does it (God’s Word) condemn clerical dress? (Matthew 23:5-6; Luke 20:46). Why does the Bible teach against the adoration of Mary if the Bible is Catholic? (Luke 11:27-28). Why does it show that all Christians are priests? (1 Peter 2:5,9). Why does God’s Word condemn the observance of special days if it’s Catholic? (Galatians 4:9-11). Why does the Bible teach that all Christians are saints if it’s Catholic? (1 Corinthians 1:2). WHY is there no mention nor concept of a “pope” in God’s Word? (1 Timothy 2:5) If the Bible were truly Catholic, WHY does it condemn the making and adoration of objects of worship, of graven images? (Exodus 20:4-5). WHY did the Catholic church remove the 2nd commandment and then split the 10th commandment into 2 commandments? WHY does the Bible teach that baptism is immersion instead of sprinkling or pouring if the Bible is Catholic? (Col. 2:12). If the Bible is truly catholic, WHY does it specifically forbid us to address religious leaders as “father”? (Matthew 23:9). If the Bible is truly Catholic, WHY does it teach that Christ is the only foundation and not the apostle Peter? (1 Corinthians 3:11). WHY does it address only God Himself as the “Holy Father”? (John 17:11). If the Bible is Catholic, why does it teach that there is one mediator instead of many? (1 Timothy 2:5). If the Bible is Catholic, why is the Bible completely silent about infant baptism, indulgence$, purgatory, confession to priests, the rosary, scapula, novena, holy days of obligation, the mass, and many other things taught by the Catholic Church? If the Bible is Catholic WHY is the drinking of blood (eucharist/transubstantiation) forbidden in both testaments? (Leviticus 17; Acts 15). If the Bible is Catholic, why then did the pope put the Bible on the Index of forbidden books in the 12th century?
The Roman Catholic cult murdered in cold blood millions who preserved the Scriptures, the Bible. The Waldensians were part of those murdered. The Waldensians were hunted down and murdered by the decree of the pope. The cult of Rome knew that if the average, common man got hold of the Bible, they (Rome) would be out of business. During the inquisitions, the Catholic church murdered 63 million people, all who refused to come under the illegitimate authority of the pope. The Catholic church has never apologized because they are unrepentant. How can any sane person defend this evil? For this cause divine judgment is coming, in “one hour.” The Catholic church is described in detail in Revelation 17, and her coming destruction is in Revelation 18.
Charlie Kirk just confirmed and endorsed a more than obvious un-biblical false church, the roman catholic church. Regrettably, by doing this he “bid Godspeed” to the most prolific idolatrous antichrist pagan religion in existence. This he did by encouraging the so-called “pope” of Rome to usher in his brand of “Christianity” which is not holy or Christian at all (2 John 9-11). This would mean that Kirk is flagging the “pope” on to push the blasphemous dogmas and idolatries of the cult of Rome.
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 for he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 9-11
Charlie Kirk is scattering people away from Jesus by recognizing the supposed replacement of the very Son of God with a costume clad sinner sitting on a man-made throne in Rome. Read Matthew 12:30. Personally I do not think Kirk has a clue who the Roman church really is.
Kirk is now on public record recognizing the seat of the antichrist all in order to join together politically.
“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Matthew 12:30
Read the Bible verse, the record of Christ’s words, again.
“Matthew 12:30
a [He that is not with me is against me] A true test of discipleship (note, Mat_10:37). God and Satan cannot be reconciled and there is no possibility of loving and serving God and Satan at the same time (Mat_6:24; Rom_6:16-23).
b [scattereth abroad] Anyone who does not seek to help gather the flock only desires to scatter them that he might steal or destroy them for personal gain (Mat_7:15-20; Act_20:28-30; Rom_16:17; Gal_1:6-9; Php_1:14-18; Php_3:17-19; 2Pe_2:1-22).” Dake
You don’t have to go to hell. We have ALL sinned against God. HE offers you complete forgiveness, salvation exclusively in JESUS CHRIST…. and no other.
All the religious costumes and garb and pageantry clearly reveal the deception. They have to wear their wolf wear, to deceive the gullible. They are merely sinners in costumes, like for example the “pope.” Jesus specifically warned us about the religious frauds who wear “long robes” (Luke 20:46). It’s a dead giveaway that they are the very false prophets He so often warned us about (Matthew 7:15; 24:11, etc.).
Repent. Believe on Jesus. Follow the King to the end of your life.
Did even one person pray to Mary in the Bible? Not one. Mary can’t hear any prayer. Mary never told anyone to pray to her or that she could hear prayers. Mary told you to obey Jesus and Jesus says “Ye must be born again” (John 2:5; 3:3, 7). Mary can’t pray for anyone. Mary was only a mere woman, a sinner. Mary was NOT divine. Mary was not the Savior. Mary died for no one, opened no blinded eyes. Mary didn’t walk on water, Mary cannot forgive sin, or raise the dead. ONLY Jesus can do that. Repent now of your idolatry. There is no purgatory. “Ye must be born again” says Jesus (John 3:3, 7).
There is NO salvation outside of Jesus Christ.
Your church cannot save you.
Your priest cannot forgive your sins.
There is no hope in some phony “pope.”
Mary died for no one’s sins.
Mary never healed anyone, never told you to pray to her, never opened blinded eyes, nor walked on water. Only Jesus did that. Repent, receive Christ, and follow Him according to His Word the Bible (King James) to the end of your life.
There’s no hope in any “pope.” No mention of the office of a “pope” in God’s Word. Such an office is by nature antichrist – in place of Christ. You cannot be an idol worshipping Catholic pagan and a Christian. Jesus says “Ye must be born again” (John 3:3, 7). Jesus says: “He that is not with me is against me” (Matthew 12:30).
“This is excellent! As I was listening I thought Charlie Kirk needs to listen to this! All this evidence presented in this podcast proves he is a false teacher. There is only one head! And that is Jesus Christ not the Pope (Col 1:18). As I have watched some of his videos he goes to colleges, and speaks about transgenderism and abortion. But I have never heard him preach the gospel to them. Sometimes he will give a Bible verse but does not preach repentance and salvation. He is definitely ecumenical! And does not believe in Jesus as the one and only living Savior or he would never be promoting the Catholic faith and would be speaking the gospel to these lost kids in colleges!” Karen Cochran
No true Christian thinks this popish sinner dressed up in a religious costume has anything to do with Jesus and His kingdom. He doesn’t. Total deception. Antichrist. Read 1 Timothy 2:5….and the fact that you can’t even find the vital New Testament book of 1 Timothy openly reveals that you are utterly biblically illiterate. No Catholic ever brings God’s Word, the Bible to mass because the mass is about the idolatry and falsehoods of the pagan cult of Rome, not Christ’s kingdom.
The Roman religion is the concoction of mere men. There is no iota of authority in the Catholic church. Jesus Christ is the only way to God and anyone who worships idols via the Catholic church proves to be a lost soul destined for the eternal flames of eternal damnation. What is it that you do not understand about the words of THE Savior, who says “I AM THE WAY …. no man cometh unto the Father, BUT BY ME” (John 14:6)?
The Roman cult’s “papacy” was never of God. There is no mention of a “pope” in the whole of God’s Word. There is only “ONE mediator between God and man, Jesus Christ” (1 Timothy 2:5). Case closed. Repent. Put all your faith in the nail scarred risen Savior and follow Him to the end of your life or perish in the flames of eternal damnation. There is no purgatory. Another lie.
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
There is no salvation in Rome. Jesus says HE is the only way (John 14:6). Are you going to call the Son of God, the only Savior, a liar in order to defend your misplaced faith?
“This is not surprising. Charlie Kirk’s pastor is Jack Hibbs, who is a false teacher! I know he preaches OSAS. His words: ‘If you backslide (live in sin) you will still go on to eternal life.'” Karen Cochran

Jesus will Judge Us by Our Works
By Glenn and Dezi Langohr
JESUS — JUDGED BY WORKS
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father… Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied…? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:21–23
Our works clearly reveal what is in our hearts! Fruit.
“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.” Matthew 16:27
“…all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” John 5:28–29
“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: *the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.” John 12:48
PAUL — CONTINUE IN GOOD WORKS
“Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life.” Romans 2:6–7
“For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.” Romans 2:13
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10
“…they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works.” Titus 3:8
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10
“…for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing…” Galatians 6:7–9
JAMES — FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD
“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” James 2:17
“Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” James 2:24
“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:26
PETER — BE HOLY, DO GOOD WORKS
“And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear.” 1 Peter 1:17
“Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.” 1 Peter 2:12
“Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.” 2 Peter 1:10
SUMMARY
Jesus said He will judge every man by their works (Matthew 16:27, John 5:29).
Paul taught that eternal life is for those who continue in well doing (Romans 2:7, Titus 3:8).
James declared faith without works is dead (James 2:17, 24).

Another False Rapture Date [video]
by Glenn and Dezi Langohr
For months we’ve been warning that the Pretrib Rapture is a hive-mind delusion — just like the lies of “false trips to heaven” and the “false Trump prophets” . These movements feed each other, creating a spiritual frenzy not rooted in God’s Word. Sadly, the false Trump prophets already gave mainstream media plenty of material to mock. Remember Paula White calling for “angels from Africa” to come help Donald Trump win the election? The world laughed — and now the same is happening with failed rapture dates.
Jesus said to endure to the end as part of salvation by following Him and not falling away. He warned about children of the devil who cannot hear His words, and about the increase of false prophets and false anointed in the last days. Paul also warned that many will not endure (2 Timothy 4, 1 Timothy 4), so there is no difference between Paul’s letters and Jesus’s words — despite the claims of OSAS and Pretrib teachers. In fact, OSAS and Pretrib rapture come from people twisting Paul’s writings, exactly as 2 Peter 3 warned.
Now millions expected a rapture on the Feast of Trumpets. What will they do now? Move the goalposts a little further, chase the next “sign” or false prophet, or finally be corrected by God’s Word that leads us to finish the race? God’s Word gives us eyes to see. Jesus warned the lukewarm church was blind and naked, and another church that only a remnant had not defiled their garments. He condemned false apostles, false Jews, Nicolaitan deeds, Balaam’s greed for fame, and Jezebel’s demonic teaching. These are the very obstacles He said must be overcome for salvation — and Pretrib is just one of many deceptions.
And the world is watching. BET mocked the false date with the headline: “10 Things to Do to Prepare for the Rapture on September 23 — besides panic-buying white robes.”
Dallas Weekly wrote: “The prophecy stirred a mix of humor and skepticism across Black social media spaces, where many mocked the ‘Rapture trend’ as another internet fad.”
AP News reported: “A doomsday prediction about the Rapture is spreading on TikTok, with some followers saying they expect a ‘fast-track getaway’ before the world collapses.”
This is exactly what 2 Peter 2:1–2 foretold:
“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you … And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.”
Because of false rapture dates, adulterous pastors, and bad doctrines, the way of truth is mocked and blasphemed. But the Bible and early Church writings both warn: the last days will bring the greatest persecution ever seen — so of course the devil would love to bewitch millions into thinking they’ll escape. The truth remains: OBEY JESUS’S WORDS TO overcome IN SOUND DOCTRINE TO THE END OF YOUR SALVATION — for only the faithful will receive the crown of life.
A brother asked me: “Why focus on exposing Pre-Trib Rapture?”
- Because it blinds people .
- Because it causes shipwrecked faith .
- Because it rejects dozens of Scriptures .
- Because it preaches against Jesus Christ .
- Because it tells people you do not have to endure to the end .
- Because it preaches another Jesus, another gospel, another spirit (2 Cor 11:4) .
- And most of all… Because I love God and I love YOU enough to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3) .
Idolatry in Jeremiah was defined as worthless things, fetishes, and false worship — and that’s what false rapture dates have become. They fascinate people, make them feel chosen, but actually blind them to God’s plan. Like Israel trusting in idols, today’s church runs after “rapture prophets” instead of preparing to endure tribulation. Jesus told us clearly that Antichrist will make war with the saints (Daniel 7:21), that persecution will come, and that those who endure to the end will be saved (Matthew 24:13). There is no crown for quitting early — the crowns are for those who fight, finish, and overcome.
Paul said to run the race to win the incorruptible crown (1 Corinthians 9:24-25), to fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal life (1 Timothy 6:12). He said works will follow us (Revelation 14:13), that confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:10), and that by our words we will be justified or condemned (Matthew 12:37). The 5 crowns of Scripture — life, righteousness, glory, rejoicing, and incorruptible — are all given to those who endure, labor, and keep the faith.
Revelation’s “7 Blesseds” show blessing not for escape, but for reading, hearing, keeping, dying in the Lord, watching, keeping garments, entering the first resurrection, and doing His commandments. Jesus warned the churches: repent, overcome, be faithful unto death. He promised the overcomers rulership, white garments, a crown of life, and the right to the tree of life. But He said the lukewarm, the fearful, the unbelieving, the idolaters, and liars will be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8). That is why pre-trib and OSAS are damnable heresies — they blind people to endurance and holiness, which is the true gospel.

The Savior vs Self [podcast]
The Flesh vs the Spirit
“For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.” Romans 8:5
This life is a daily test of who we truly love (Matthew 6:24; 22:37-40; John 14:15; 15:14; Romans 6:16).
You are not relegated to the flesh, to live after it, or be defeated by it.
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:12-14
How does Christ’s victory work in our lives?
“I die daily (death) … But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (resurrection). 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. … But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:31, 57-58 …10
Those who are crucified with Christ are walking in His victory – the victory He alone grants. And they are laboring by His grace in His work.
There was no other way to redeem fallen mankind but the cross. And there’s no other way to walk with the Savior who went to that cross for us – except by way of the cross He prescribed that we take up daily (Luke 9:23-24).
The War Within
“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” Galatians 5:16-25
The Flesh or the Spirit: Which shall ye allow to reign?
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24
Agreeing with the divine declaration of condemnation on our fallen state is essential to victory, otherwise the temptation to compromise and have mercy on the old man will be present (Romans 1-3).
Adam is the father of the old man the fallen man. Jesus is the King of the new man the new creation. Romans 5
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. … 12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.” Genesis 6:5, 12
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9
“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. … 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” Romans 7:18, 24
We are not good, not one of us (Romans 3:10). If we don’t understand and own what the Bible states concerning the universal fall of all men in Adam, that there’s “no good thing” in us, we will not recognize the need for the daily cross – to be truly crucified with Christ.
The “old man,” the flesh, can not and will not ever be reformed (Romans 6: Colossians 3). It must be daily crucified. There’s no hope of a chance or possibility that the flesh can be reformed. It’s a lost cause and that’s why Jesus came.
“The truth is that while Christ dwells in the believer’s new nature, He has strong competition from the believer’s old nature. The warfare between the old and the new goes on continually in most believers.” AW Tozer
You can’t negotiate with a terrorist.
Kill or be killed. Kill the flesh or be killed by it.
There is no negotiating with the flesh and there can be no mercy afforded to it.
Allowing the flesh a foot in the door is the inroad to total destruction.
“Either you will crucify sin out of your life or sin will crucify Christ out of your life.” Burt Clendendon
“But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” 1 Corinthians 9:27
The flesh must be sentenced to death.
2 Corinthians 1:9-11
“But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.”
- v. 9 – Sentence the self life to the death of the self life.
- v. 10 – Past, present, and future deliverance, victory over sin, can only come by way of the cross.
- v. 11 – we must pray for each other in this regard – that we would be conformed to the crucified image of Christ our LORD.
Perhaps the best prayer we can pray for each other is that we’d be crucified with Christ…. because this guarantees the resurrection, the raising up of that life!
God is waiting for you to lay it all down – to be truly crucified with the Savior, to own it, to wear it, to embrace that your life is over in this world and now it’s all about Him, about King Jesus.
“And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:9-12
(v. 9) Being found in Christ and not outside of Him (and lost), not having our own filthy-rag righteousness “through the faith of Christ.” (v. 10) & (John 17:3) Knowing Him is the very reason we are created by Him – “That I may know him.” Experiencing “the power of his resurrection” is preceded by “being made conformable unto his death.” (vv. 10-11) Seems the apostle here is intimating that he is not perfect in taking up the cross, realizing the utter need for such.
The LORD is “Holy, holy, holy” and commands you to “be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8; 1 Peter 1:15-16)
Recently, had a conversation with a long time friend who is a dear brother in Christ. We mourned together over the sin he’d been walking in. And, we discussed the only solution – the cross. I was able to share with him that the only victory I have ever been able to walk in is via the cross life.
The life of the disciple is a crucified life and this is what our water baptism is supposed to depict and yet the follow up, the messages we hear in local churches, regrettably is anything but the cross (Romans 6; Colossians 2:12). Scarcely if ever can the message of the cross be heard or even mentioned, much less talked of continually by preachers today. This is the fulfillment of end times prophecy (Philippians 3:18-19; 1 Timothy 4:1-2; 2 Timothy 3:1-7; 2 Timothy 4:2-4, etc.).
Read Romans 6 each morning this week. Pray and ask the LORD to teach you His way – the way of the cross. Ask Him sincerely to anoint your life to be dead and buried with Him and raised up by Christ – that you would be conformed to His holy image (Romans 8:29).
God’s way is the cross. No one will be in Heaven who didn’t walk His way – which is the way of the cross, the crucified life (Luke 9:23-24; Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:3, etc.).
Jesus taught diametrically opposite to Satan’s message of the world to love self.
So many people claiming Christ as LORD continue to peddle lies. Beware of them (Colossians 2:8-10). Their memes and messages say things like: “Love yourself,” “take care of yourself,” “treat yourself,” “forgive yourself,” etc. …. Hmmmm I don’t remember reading any such thing in the Bible. No, in fact, the Bible says we all already, innately love ourselves and THAT’s our biggest problem and where our sin is rooted – pride! – “The pride of life” (Ephesians 5:29; 1 John 2:15-17). We are never instructed to pamper our “desperately wicked” self but rather Jesus commands us to “deny” or die to self – to live the crucified life.
“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.” Luke 9:23-24
People who are propagating these diabolical lies, encouraging others to love self instead of to crucify self, are clueless, walking in darkness, have no clue of who Christ is or His Gospel message – which begins with the essential command to “repent,” to lay down our lives in this world and obey Him – to follow Him, His example by preferring Him and others above ourselves (Philippians 2:3-5, etc.).
Recently a saint of Christ send this message:
“Never change Todd. Keep lifting JESUS up as you do. Keep dying, so you will not be cast away in the end. Keep increasing in humility and love. At any moment, you could jeopardize your place with Christ, when just a little pride slips in, self glory, lust… Keep that humble place until You see your Lord face to face. I want Todd to enter Heaven, my dear Todd, a wretched man, as I, who trusted Christ’s Sacrifice and lived, until the end, for His Name.”
“Jesus needs to Increase and I need to decrease. I am nothing without Jesus Amen.” David Reeves
“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30
Do you desire and love God above self?
Get low.
Stay low.
“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3
Go down deep into death and burial and let the LORD Himself raise your life upward.
“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12
HOW will you finish? It’s really how you finish that matters most! (2 Timothy 4:7-8) Finish strong beloved – lay down your life (death and burial) so that the strength of your life is Christ’s resurrection grace!!!!! Read 2 Corinthians 12:9-10. Go down deep.
“And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:” Isaiah 37:31
Read the verse above again, looking for the death, the burial, and raising up!
The context of Isaiah 37:31 concerns Assyria seeking to seize Judah and yet out of that evil attempt to conquer God’s people came a “remnant.” Yet it’s those who submitted to the LORD in death, those who took root downward (death and burial) who were reciprocally raised up out of that snare and destruction. Resurrection grace wins every time, with no exception! The cross is the divine prescription for absolute victory in every situation.
The depth you allow God to bury you determines the height of His resurrection, His raising up in you! (2 Corinthians 4:10-12).
As we submit to Him, to His way, God liquidates us, putting away our sin, our past, and weaknesses and raising us upward in His power while granting us a clear conscience.
“God salvages the individual by liquidating him and then raising him again to newness of life.” AW Tozer
The cross is always God’s way – the blood of Christ’s cross, His death, burial, and resurrection, and daily our own (2 Corinthians 4:10-12).
“And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” Romans 8:10-11
The raising up cannot and will not come before the laying down of one’s life.
God is not going to raise up the rebel but He is going to raise up the humble, the truly poor in spirit saint.
“The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.” Psalms 145:14
The soul, the spirit, the life of the true saint must be nourished in this essential cross message. A little dab will not do it – you must be saturated. You must be ever bowing downward in worship to the LORD. As your life is bowed down, the reciprocal divine raising will transpire!
If you are not learning the cross Jesus taught, you are fallen away.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I come to You now as a sinner. I am away from You and I do not want to remain alienated from You. Holy Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I here and now ask You to take me back, to wash me clean in the blood of the Lamb, and to have Your way in my life. This moment, I lay my life into Your holy hands and rest in You, in Your love, by faith. Thank You for finding and saving me dear LORD. From this moment forward, I will follow You LORD Jesus till the end of my life on this earth. I pray all these things in the name above all names, the name of Jesus Christ! Sobeit dear LORD!
