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

Saints, each of us are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. And yet many are not yet empowered by the LORD to do HIS work. We cannot possibly do HIS work in the flesh. After walking with Jesus for three years, His own apostles were not yet ready to be used of Him in ministry – until they tarried in Jerusalem (Luke 24:49).

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.” 2 Peter 2:1-3

When false prophets that people have made idols of, are exposed, the prey (the deceived) want to try to discredit the people exposing the fraud. So, they attack with the truth that miracles and healings, and the baptism with the Holy Spirit are biblical. Truth and yet that fact in no way justifies the false prophets being exposed as counterfeits. These are separate issues. Any honest Bible student understands that the baptism with the Holy Ghost is God’s will for every believer and that God has always and still heals and does miracles. Yet, everyone running around with a charismatic stage-show using fakery, is not of God and has nothing to do with the authentic Pentecostal experience which is of God and can and will stand the test of biblical discernment (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

“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

The authentic baptism with the Holy Ghost only confirms that there will be the counterfeiting of such by the very ministers of Satan (2 Corinthians 11:13-15). God’s Word told us that Satan has ministers who pose as Christ’s ministers:

“But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” 2 Corinthians 11:12-15

The fact that the baptism with the Holy Spirit, miracles, and healing is definitely of God, in no way authenticates any mere man or woman pretending to represent Christ.

Instead of answering to the concerns of discerning believers about their favorite faith healer, those who made these mere men and women idols, attack those questioning those idols.

The authentic Pentecostal experience and the resulting miracles and healings do not need to be conjured up or propped up or faked. That’s the crux! If it’s real, it will be confirmed by the medical doctors and yet many fake ministries through the years have lied repeatedly about these miracles and sought to cover it up when the evidence showed it was not real.

NEVER lump true Spirit-filled Bible believers with BETHEL, NAR, charismatic frauds. These cults are not founded on biblical truth.

Not all who believe in being baptized with the Holy Spirit are charismaniacs….. Some seem to be fighting the wrong battle. Being filled with the Spirit of God is biblical, however the NAR cult, charismatic movement are a mockery, a vain attempt to counterfeit the real filling of His Holy Spirit. We should separate the two. Jesus told His own 12 not to attempt to do His ministry without His empowerment – Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; 2:38-39, etc.

“And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.” Luke 24:49

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Acts 1:8

“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” Acts 2:38-39

In fact ….

ANY preacher without the baptism with the Holy Ghost, is not qualified, not fueled by divine power. Jesus told His own 12 that they were not ready to minister in His holy name until they tarried in the city of Jerusalem, until they were filled with the Holy Spirit (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 2:1-4, 38-39, etc.). People in ministry without the baptism with the Holy Spirit are doing things in their own feeble intellectual mind power, self-willed, and not in the divine power of our God. It takes God’s power to do God’s work. And we wonder why there are so many lame pastors today?

From Brother Jeff, Canada:

“I believe in all the scriptural Gifts of the Holy Spirit, BUT through my abundance of experience throughout the world and in my own country, I have come to the conclusion that 95+% of the so called “Gifts” that I have witnessed are demonic counterfeits, therefore these manifestations are NOT Biblical and NOT from the Holy Spirit.

How is it possible that money grubbing wolves in sheep’s clothing (2 Cor 11) who are false apostles, deceitful workers, Satan’s ministers, masquerading as ministers of righteousness can speak in authentic Holy Spirit inspired tongues (see Kenneth Copeland and Rodney Howard-Browne conversing and laughing in Demonic tongues) while they fleece the flock including widows.

The defenders of these demonic manifestations quote Romans 11:29 completely out of context stating ‘For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.’

This scripture is clearly showing God’s plan for Israel (Romans Chapters 9-11).

Are these defenders saying that no matter now sinful or apostate you become that once you have received Tongues or any other Gift of the Holy Spirit you have it for life?

This eerily sounds similar to OSAS except instead of guaranteed salvation no matter how sinful or apostate you are, you can operate in the Gifts of the Spirit because they are “without repentance” therefore you are guaranteed the genuine Biblical operation of the Gifts of the Spirit such as Tongues no matter what?

May God help us in this late dark hour.”

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“I also saw an article you wrote about the Baptism of the Spirit and Speaking in Tongues. It is good to read the truth spoken in the power of the Holy Spirit. It does bolster my confidence to see what you have put…in writing. People need the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, to have power in their lives.” Carey | The Holy Spirit

REPLY:

YES, the baptism with the Holy Ghost has never been more important than it is now, in this late hour when we are told in Holy Scripture that “evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse” (2 Timothy 3:13). | Holy Ghost Baptism

RECENTLY, a sister in Christ emailed asking about rightly dividing between authentic Pentecost and the false movements and manifestations that have perverted this gift of God which He intends for each and every one of His saints, without exception (Acts 2:38-39). Remember saints, the perversion of the truth and gift of God by some in no way NEGATES or in any way changes the truth of God and the authentic New Testament program of God – which includes the infilling of His Holy Spirit.

The devil is a liar, the father of all lies, who seeks “to steal, to kill, and to destroy” that which your LORD has ordained for your life (John 8:44; 10:10; 1 Peter 5:8, etc.). Only those who refuse to seek out and act upon His truth will be robbed (Hosea 4:6).

REPLY:

Understand for sure sister.

Hope you are well.

Pentecost is in Acts 2, not some modern denomination. There IS authentic Pentecost and there is the mixture and the error of the false messages and movements today, such as the NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) cult.

May God clear our vision per His Word, to bless us to rightly divide truth from error and grant us to be full of His Holy Ghost and do all that He’s ordained in Jesus’ holy name.

PENTECOST, the baptism with the Holy Ghost is a non-negotiable, essential, central component of Christ’s New Testament program-yet not the things added by sinful wolves today. We are whole Gospel believers which would include discerning and rejecting additives – yet never diminishing aught, letting go of the true Pentecostal, Holy Ghost baptism Christ’s gives to His own. NOT the denomination, but the New Testament reality. When exposing the NAR (New Apostolic Reformation)/Bethel warlocks and their witchcraft, you may at times be called a cessationist by those deceived by the enemy of souls. A cessationist is one who erroneously believes that the bless-ed power of the Holy Ghost was only for the earliest followers of Jesus. Yet, the authentic baptism with the Holy Spirit is never manifested in God’s Word as that which is anything except pure, holy, and “in order.” – “Let all things be done decently and in order” (1 Corinthians 14:40). Being baptized (immersed, clothed upon) with the Holy Spirit will always lead to more divine power to be holy, set apart unto Christ and not to misuse His gift for things not sanctioned in and by His Word. Keeping it biblical!

"Have ye Received the Holy Ghost since ye Believed?" [podcast]

John the Baptist Foretold: “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me (Christ) is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:” Matthew 3:11 Jesus promised the Baptism, the Endument with His Holy Ghost: “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient (better) for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.” John 16:7 Jesus instructed His disciples: “And, […]

Are Tongues Demonic? [podcast]

Tongues are not of the devil and did not pass away! Get over yourself! YOU are not in control, sinner. At times we hear well meaning believers (perhaps) saying that devils can give you tongues. hmmmmm My reply to such would be as follows: That could be true and yet…. Jesus and His holy apostles never made such a statement. They DID though diligently testify of the baptism with the Holy Ghost and made sure every believer knew about it and were invited to receive it…. as in Acts 8:14-17 which we will look at in a moment. The Misuse […]

God Blesses those who Read His Word [book]

God blesses those who Read His Word

“Blessed is he that readeth” Revelation 1:3

“Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and READ.” Isaiah 34:16

“Rightly dividing the word of truth”

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

YES God’s people are to “study” His Word and how else to do such than to begin by “READING” His words? 2 Timothy 2:15

“Till I come, give attendance to READING, to exhortation, to doctrine.” 1 Timothy 4:13

“Bless is he that READETH ….” Revelation 1:3

Years ago I found that if I don’t get up early to read God’s Word and spend quality moments in prayer first and foremost, it will never happen. God must be put first and this requires ruthless discipline.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

Reading all of God’s Word is the priority of ever astute follower of Jesus.

There’s no way to learn God’s Word other than reading it yourself (2 Timothy 2:15) God gave you His Word in tangible format in order for you to learn of Him from Him and by Him. Those who leave it to others to teach them God’s Word are self-deceived and will be misled by those they depend on to teach them the Bible.

“I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

O the beauty of doing things God’s way. When things are done our LORD’s way, His blessings ensue! Blessings will chase you down! Are you putting GOD first in your life, truly, literally?

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

“The joy and rejoicing of mine heart”

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

GOD’S WORD

Saints, in order that some may be encouraged, below, let’s talk about our current personal Bible reading…..

“Presently, I am in 1 Kings, reading all the way through the Bible again, and also reading through Revelation backwards. Personally I like to read several chapters every morning to begin the day and like to include OT, Poetic books, and New Testament chapter readings….. along with pouring over passages like 1 Cor 13; Phil 2:3-5; Col. 3:1-4, 12-14;” Todd

“In 1 Thessalonians reading through the Bible.” Jason

“I am reading Mark.” Michele

“Philippians—Paul’s letter in prison—and joy.” Joe

“I Been Reading James And 1st An 2nd Peter This Week.” Connie

“Working my way through 1 Sam (ch 14 finished now) Psalms 77 and John chapter 4 finished. Trying to read through in 6 months. I enjoy listening (KJB on YouTube) while I read also.” Nathan

The Blessings of Bible Reading [podcast]

podcast coming soon “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.” Revelation 1:3 The quickest and surest way to get blessed is to simply read God’s Word. This is so simple that most miss it. Bible reading is the key to learning the things of God (Prov. 22:17-22). Bible Study is paramount to spiritual growth (1 Pet. 2:2). Reading God’s Word etches the image of Christ upon the canvass of the heart (Lk 24:27; Jn 5:39, 46). Bible reading instills the […]

The Real R.E.D. Alert

THE REAL R.E.D. Alert ….Saint of Christ, are you in God’s Word richly and daily, being reminded of His blessed truths? (Colossians 3:16; Acts 2:42) If so, then you are to be putting His children in remembrance of these truths as we look together for His soon return. When we do this, we are considered “a good minister of Jesus Christ.” “If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6 Where to Look Jesus […]

IS DOUBTING YOUR SALVATION ALWAYS A BAD THING? [podcast]

Making Sure We are Truly Saved While We Still Can Obviously, the assurance of salvation should concern each and every one of us. “For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.” 1 Corinthians 11:31-32 Notice “if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.” Note that those who honestly assess and amend their ways in the LORD will not be judged with the wicked. Those who don’t, will be. They will fall away and not […]

Summary of Tom Wadsworth’s teaching on modern worship as compared to the New Testament church [video]

The corporate type church buildings begun with the cult of Rome as did the seminaries. This is Satan’s typical centralization model (think tower of babel). Centralization of the church building and the installed wolves go hand in hand in order to control what happens, doesn’t happen and what is taught and not taught. All Satan then has to do is install his unsaved seminarian agent false teachers into those “official” church buildings.

Fellowship and New Testament Gatherings/Assembling

The Truth about Fellowship and Going to "Church" [podcast]

The Simplicity of Fellowship that Exalts and Glorifies Christ “And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. ” Acts 2:42 MANY today peddle the importance of fellowship because they hear it from their pastors on a regular basis. Yet, much more important than man to man fellowship is God to man, and man to God fellowship. This is little spoken of. And, what passes and is pawned off as “fellowship” today doesn’t fit the biblical description, the prescription for fellowship (Acts 2:42-47; Colossians 3:16, etc.). It’s not even a faint […]

True vs False Fellowship [podcast]

One of the main and stated reasons for fellowship is to prevent God’s people from falling away. Notice: “Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another DAILY, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;” Hebrews 3:12-14 If your “fellowshipping” is limited to Sunday mornings, instead of “daily”, as Scripture prescribes, you […]

Occultic Origins of the Law of Attraction and the Secret and Word of Faith Theology [video]

The Law of Attraction and The Secret and Word of Faith Theology are Witchcraft Operated in by Self-Serving, Christ-Denying Rebels

“WITCHCRAFT” is on the list of soul damning sins (Galatians 5:19-21). Witchcraft breaks down to control. It’s simply when man takes control, in place of God. Cross-less. See Isaiah 14:12-15 and 1 Samuel 15:22-23).

The law of attraction is 100% witchcraft and manipulation and not trusting God.

“The Law of Attraction is from the Devil. 💯 Someone had brought it up in a group Wednesday and the Law of Attraction is making us out to be as GOD and bring things we think into existence. Praise Jesus 🙏 let this knowledge be known to everyone. what is the law of attraction simply it is thinking about something you want a car for example and all the individual will do is think of this car “bringing” it into existence all day think of it picture themselves driving it sitting in it etc. 🚗 only…” unknown

What are you willing to sell your soul for? What so-called temporary “success” are you willing to trade Jesus in for? Who are you truly serving? Have you truly repented, falling upon the mercy of God for your gross iniquity and laying down your life? “Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish (go to hell).” (Luke 13:3, 5) (This is a good video but we do not condone all of the author’s teachings.)

The Myth of Elevation without the Cross [podcast]

THE CROSS: Know it. Live it. Preach it. God will never lift up those who stand in their pride but only those who bow before Him in humility (Psalms 145:14; James 4:6-10, etc.). Running to a “revival” is not the answer. The reason people run to a “revival” is due to their refusal to deny self, take up the cross daily, and thereby be re-vived (filled with life!) daily – experiencing the resurrection of Christ each day in their personal lives as God has ordained (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12). A cross-less life is a life of defeat. A life in […]

“And he said to them all, 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 “Dying to self I have learned is the key.

Is YOUR Work Finished just Because Jesus' Work is Finished?

“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” John 19:30 These are the 3 most powerful words ever uttered. What did this mean? What did it not mean? Did “It is finished” mean that those who believe on the LORD Jesus, receiving initial salvation, are free from all present and future responsibilities before God? The finished work of Christ is a foundational truth of Christianity, but His accomplishment does not arbitrarily guarantee the final salvation of the individual believer. Christ’s perfect and completed redemptive work to […]
