IS BETH MOORE Your Idol?
This is NOT an attack on Beth Moore but rather an expose’ of Beth Moore’s attack on the LORD. WHO do you love more?
If a person gets upset because the teachings and influence of their favorite mere human celebrity teacher are examined against Holy Scripture, perhaps this identifies an idolatrous worship of that person in lieu of the LORD Himself (Ezekiel 14:3; Zechariah 11:17; Matthew 6:24).
Does Beth Moore have nail scarred hands and feet? (1 Corinthians 2:2)
The first video shows her saying that the Catholic church is part of the true body of Christ which is a huge RED FLAG revealing Moore is part of Satan’s end time apostasy of bringing all the churches – daughters of the great whore – under the banner of the one world Babylonian, apostate church (Revelation 17-18).
ANY person or organization being used to corral people under the illegitimate authority of the pope and Rome, is under the delusion and dominion of “the spirit of antichrist” and being used to bring about the prophesied one world religion (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12; 1 John 2:18; 4:1-6; Revelation 17-18). “Come OUT of her my people” says the LORD or you will perish with her! (Revelation 18:4) | Catholic Corruption
ANY person defending an antichrist or antichrist system is still under the spirit of antichrist and should at once repent and put their full faith in Jesus Christ alone, the only One who bled to redeem us from our sins.
“I think it is so telling that none of the false teachers that people are heaping to themselves, ever warn their following about End-time false teachers who people are heaping to themselves. It is a dead give away. The reason is because they are “It”. If a believer does not know the Word of God and does not understand the abomination that eastern mysticism and Catholic spirituality and beliefs are, they will not be able to discern the incredibly cleaver deception that is about to flood the Christian World. These hugely influential leaders are going to convince multitudes that uniting with anyone who calls themselves a Christian is the Biblical plan for the Church. They are convinced they are taking Dominion in order to usher in Jesus and that they will undergo great persecution and resistance but they are really ushering in the Anti-Christ and his One World Religion. Ammaaazzzing! You can see it happening, as you listen to Beth Moore describe the future, as she sees it. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DECEPTION !” Karen
“Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?” Ezekiel 14:3
Any person who knows and loves the LORD Jesus Christ, is not even slightly impressed with the person or ministry of any mere man or men. The true disciple has rid his heart of all idols and only KING Jesus reigns there!
“… Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.” 1 John 5:20-21
“But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: 14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:” Exodus 34:13-14
Only the Son of God can save the individual and if one refuses to relinquish all idolatry, he cannot be saved. If my identity is in my religion, denomination, or pastor, hell awaits my wicked soul.
“Beth Moore’s church also allowed a Muslim speaker who apparently read verses out of the Quran and chanted. This ‘bishop’ explained it as we have a inter-faith ministry and we are open to all faiths. Inter-faith simply means one world religion (ecumenical/catholic).” Karen Cochran
“Thou shalt have NO other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3
The remnant of Christ’s elect identify themselves by their bold and unrelenting identification with the Person of Jesus Christ.
Cease today looking to a human idol. Repent and ask the LORD to forgive this vile sin. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN – in the sense of trusting and learning of the LORD. DO NOT depend on any man or system or you will not be with Christ. God sent His Son – not any other mere sinful man, system, pastor, or religion. It’s only in His only begotten Son that He is pleased and in those who are IN HIM – the divine Person of Christ whom He sent that we might know Him (John 17:3).
“NO OTHER” – get it? “Thou shalt have NO OTHER gods before me” saith the LORD Almighty (Exodus 20:3). Do we think this is the very FIRST commandment by accident?
To illustrate how so many people simply want to be entertained and so really could nearly care less about the content of what someone is talking about (Acys 17:11; 2 Timothy 4:2-4). To illustrate this, concerning Beth Moore, Cynthia A. notes:
“She could go out and talk about a toothpick and people would be in awe! I can hear it now! ‘I was in a restaurant and I saw a toothpick, and it came to mind. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. You know what I am saying, ladies. I know you do because I see some of you nodding your heads! You know that feeling when you have a million things to do…drop the kids off at school, ball games, and prom dresses to pick out, the last thing you need is to meet someone with spinach in your teeth. God put that toothpick there for a reason…USE IT!!! Don’t get caught with spinach in you teeth. That is how the enemy steals your confidence. Does somebody get what I am saying!!!!’.
I used to watch her. She preaches self-esteem. She will take bits of verses and put them together and makes them what she wants them to be. I would never falsely accuse as that would make me as bad as she is. She is an emergent church apostate who leads people to the contemplative prayer, “Christian” yoga, “the god within prayer” which is an abomination to God.”
“I don’t think too many people consider the fact that if ANY one or ANY thing is on our minds more than GOD then it’s an idol.” Kim T.
“TRUTH!!!! That’s y they never talk about repentance… Awesome post .. I pray that all who follow them wake up soon before they all fall with them…. Anyone who doesn’t preach repentance is NOT for the true one and only Jesus.. I notice too about them.. They never go deep into the bible.. It’s always faith and prosperity which is not the GOSPEL at all… GBY.” Anna S.
“I put one her videos on about a year ago. The title was great! I had never heard of her. I was like, honey–just call yourself your a poor story teller and give it up! Nothing like the Bible! And people PAY her to this!!! She is somebody who always wanted to go into acting….blah. Sorry…I was just soooo let down!” Pamela M.
“I have no interest in all these women that think they are great teachers/preachers….they have ruined many women that try to copy them. They get their plastic surgery and make tons of money merchandising the gospel, to pay for it!” Joyce H.
“Too many women are too hungry for a woman to follow after. They will elevate the woman above the Truth of God, and He will never share His Glory. Beware the Jezebel spirit~ Often women will listen to a she~wolf simply because they are too offended to learn from the godly, biblical teaching of men. They are easy prey for the female false prophet who is seeking to devour them. Flee from evil! ~In Jesus name!” Bonnie R. Hutchins
“This is the problem with America today…and all the False Teachers in the pulpits and churches! God’s judgment starts with them. For they are far worse than unbelievers! It is a sad state of affairs – when we have millions of souls thinking they are serving God. Yet, in reality they serve nothing but man – and themselves! The enemy IS very subtle in having the REAL thing look just like that of God..remember what Pharoah’s courts could do..when Moses went in to show them Gods power and might…but Moses serpent ended up eating theirs! BUT..it goes to show how many saw the powers that look so real…and how the enemy appears as a”light” and can deceive many! Spiritual Discernment is NEEDED more than ever…it is a gift..only Holy Spirit can give..IF he is living within you as a true believer..for even the very elect can be deceived! We can still preach Gods word..spread the Gospel message FREE….without becoming RICH off it! Beth Moore is and has been into the ~~Emerging Church~~~ Apostasy for a very long time! She believes in Contemplative Prayer..a newer form of prayer that brings in Eastern Mythical beliefs! She also condones and promotes MANY of these people for their books and beliefs as well on New Age techniques! A very good website to get on and learn from is~ Lighthouse Trails~ they expose MANY False Teachers!” Frances P.
From lighthousetrailsresearch.com :
“[I]f we are not still before Him [God], we will never truly know to the depths of the marrow of our bones that He is God. There’s got to be a stillness.”–Beth Moore (In her book, When Godly People Do Ungodly Things), Moore says that “practicing God’s presence” has become extremely important to her; she points readers to Brennan Manning several times in the book and suggests that his contribution to “our generation of believers may be a gift without parallel” (p. 72). Her participation in Richard Foster’s DVD project, Be Still, and her recanting of an apology for being in the film which included a promotion of the Be Still contemplative message backs up Moore’s statements about Manning and the stillness.”
In essence, biblical meditation is thinking; and contemplative New Age meditation is simply not thinking … and that is something to think about.”
Concerning meditation, Richard Epps notes:
“All the eastern religions seek to eliminate the thought and yet the most productive thoughts are to meditate on the Wisdom of GOD in its many facets and there are many.”
Of Beth Moore’ teachings, carm.org concludes:
“We must be very careful when listening to a teacher. Beth Moore, in my opinion, is not to be trusted to properly teach from the word of God. She is leading many astray with her approval of contemplative prayer, personal revelations, and faulty biblical exegesis. Yes, I know that many claim to have been helped by her. That is fine, but the experience of feeling helped is not where truth lies. Rather, it is God’s word that is the standard of what is good and bad, not if we are helped through the wolf of pop psychology in Christian terminology. Therefore, I cannot endorse Beth Moore.”

FEEDBACK:
“This is so spot on! My ex pastor praises this women! She is the best of them all at Bible-twisting! I took a copy of When Godly People Do Ungodly Things, Page 121. I showed him how she quotes Catholic mystics and practices contemplative prayer. He shouted at me that, ‘If it was not for Beth Moore’ that he could not get up every Sunday and preach the gospel!” Cynthia A.
“Last week’s (Beth Moore) study I went to, she spent an hour and a half TALKING about John 1:1. It was excruciating. She tells personal stories and hardly ever talks about salvation. It’s all about self esteem with her, you have to value your self and know you are priceless in the sight of God. How can we be priceless in the sight of God if we are walking in sin and damnation?? I give her the OSAS preacher stamp. I’m not going to finish the study book I have, might just throw it away.” A. S.
“Thank you for continuing to sound the alarm. The Beth Moore industry is truly another illustration the spiritually impoverished mainstream.” Mark Case, ProclaimIt.org
“Great stuff. I was hoping someone would call out the errors in Beth Moore’s teachings. She’s right up there with Bill Hybels, Joel Osteen and others. Thanks for this article. I gladly shared. Keep on keeping on my friend.” Steve Sande
“Beth Moore never says a word about salvation or repentance. It is all self-esteem. To be a Christian you have to be lowly, and hated by the world. It is much easier to sit under these people and hear how great we are, but we are not. I have the fear for the Bride of Christ…she will come out of them. On Page 121 of her book “when godly people do ungodly things” she quotes Brother Lawrence, a Catholic mystic, and writes that this is her life’s goal. Jesus said I will never leave you, nor forsake you, yet with contemplative prayer you have to give God permission to come down to you… I think people that like Beth Moore keep the focus on man and not on the return of our blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, which is our hope. They never warn we are in the last days, and that we should be leading people to the Lord.. Beth Moore uses a few of words God to promote the many words of her own. Jesus taught us how to pray, she teaches a different and dangerous way. Jesus taught us to humble ourselves. She teaches the lifting up of one’s self. Jesus gave the Gospel for free. She charges to get in. Her simulcasts are upwards of 3000,00, then the churches charge $10-20 a ticket. What of the poor? She dresses like a china doll and speaks from high and lofty places. To see her in person can cost $100.00’s a person. If one is looking for the Gospel it can be found where it has always been. Perhaps on a street corner, or where we least expect to find our it, but always hated, despised, and rejected my men. The was one who lifted himself up, who should have been humble…..Lucifer. The was one who was the Most High and became a lowly…..Jesus. Please, my dear Christian friends, we need to wake up. Time is short. The spirit of Antichrist is here.” Cynthia A.
I wrote the following to a man who asked who Beth Moore was and “why should I care?”:
Reply:
You should care because:
- Beth Moore is a teacher/celebrity who influences millions,
- If you love Jesus you will obey Him and “care” for those she is misleading and “mark” her so others can be warned and protected (Jude 3-4; Romans 16:17-18, etc.).

A Word of Encouragement on Ministering to Others
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” 1 Peter 1:23
It’s God’s Word, the “incorruptible seed” of the truth of God that shatters that which stands between Him and sinners. Listen closely and grasp these divinely inspired Word through the prophet Jeremiah:
“Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29
The rock of unbelief is broken by the words of God entering the hearts of men. The light of divine truth pierces the darkness:
“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130
When the very words of God enter the human heart, by its nature – light – darkness is exposed for what it is.
“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” Psalms 19:7
YOUR PRAYER: Father, please make me a consummate soul winner, in Jesus’ name, amen.
Many times, due to a lack of the cross in our lives, are we not rather in the flesh instead of the Spirit and therefore do we not attempt to force or coerce the truth of God on others?
“Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6
EVER BEEN THERE? There are times when we are to “earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints” and other times when the enemy is trying to get us to take the bait, to bite on something minor and not be quiet, listen, and meekly minister the Word and love of God (Jude 3-4; Ephesians 4:15; 2 Timothy 2:24-26). May God bless each of His children to be led by His Holy Spirit in each instant and glorify Him, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Preaching AT someone and ministering TO someone are mutually exclusive. Are we preaching in our own self-righteous wrath and don’t yet realize it? The words of James are stinging and should be memorized:
“For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” James 1:20
May God fill us with His love and bless each of us to edify (build up) the members of His body.
Both rebuking and ministering are certainly Scriptural and yet, personally, I can look back in regret and see that when God wanting me MINISTERING TO someone, I was instead preaching AT the intended target/person. They are not a target but an eternal soul heading to Heaven or hell. And at times, God will mercifully lead His people to send forth a strong rebuke in order to turn the sinner to Himself.
There are many instances in Scripture where unrepentant rebels are dealt a hard blow with strong preaching, strong rebuke – the call to repent (Matthew 23; Acts 13:10; Revelation 3:19, etc.).
I wonder if it would help up today if we paused to consider the process that transpired in our own lives. Though salvation is instantaneously imparted upon repentance, it most likely took a few people sowing the seed of God’s Word in our hearts before we repented and received Christ, right? Is that what happened in your life? It sure is in mine. I didn’t stop and get saved the first time some bless-ed disciple ministered to me. Did you?
When we put a seed in the ground to get a crop, it has to first be planted and then it begins to germinate, right? Then comes the crop and the fruit. This is a process and Paul speaks of it when he writes:
“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-9
Here below is a passage the LORD quickens my heart to pour prayerfully over on a regular basis:
“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” 2 Timothy 2:24-26
PEOPLE go public about a lot of things. It’s time for God’s people to GO PUBLIC about JESUS!
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
Like everything in Christ’s kingdom, nothing works outside of the cross – the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ happening in our lives daily.

Recovering Biblical Womanhood [podcast]
by Lindsey Griffin
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 ‘𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱’ 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗱?
The more I think about this, the more I wonder whether we have been taught to look at male responsibility through the eyes of a child watching someone else get something she didn’t get.
“He gets to be in charge? That’s not fair! I want a turn.😠”
But what if what we have been calling a privilege was actually a responsibility?
The more I study the responsibilities Scripture places primarily upon men, the less I find myself coveting them. Headship sounds wonderful if all you see is the seat at the head of the table. It looks very different when you realize that the man sitting there is supposed to answer for what happens at that table.
Biblical authority isn’t simply getting your way. It comes with responsibility, sacrifice, service, provision, protection, difficult decisions, and ultimately accountability before God. Scripture repeatedly connects greater authority with greater accountability. “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.” (Luke 12:48). James even warns that not many should become teachers because teachers “shall receive the greater condemnation” (James 3:1).
“My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.” James 3:1
And that has made me rethink the entire way women have been encouraged to view male leadership.
Maybe instead of asking, “Why does he get to have that authority?” we should have been asking, “What does God require from the person to whom He gives that authority?”
Because I don’t think we can demand all of the authority traditionally associated with men while simultaneously asking society to make allowances for us whenever the realities of being women become inconvenient. We cannot insist, “Don’t treat me differently because I’m a woman. I can do anything a man can do,” and then turn around and argue, when accountability becomes painful, that our hormones, emotions, reproductive stage, or sex should substantially change what is expected of us.
If we want identical authority, then logically we are also asking for identical accountability.
The Bible never says that men are more valuable and women are less valuable. God gave men and women DIFFERENT RESPONSIBILITIES, with DIFFERENT BURDENS attached to them, and neither sex needs to covet what God entrusted primarily to the other.
I’m increasingly grateful that I don’t have to occupy every position a man occupies simply to prove that I am his equal in value.
I have a seat at the table. I don’t need to usurp his seat in order for mine to matter.”
“I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.” 1 Timothy 5:14

Either Crucify the Flesh or it will Crucify Christ out of Your Life [podcast]
Fight the temptation or die the death?
Where’s the victory come from?
The Cross – something counterfeits intentionally evade (Philippians 3:18-19). The cross is how we know who is real and who is fake. Refusing to take up the cross means one has denied Christ. This would account for the vast majority of men in ministry today. They are cross-less.
The only people who are truly following Christ are those who are doing it HIS way – and His stated way is the cross, the crucified life (Luke 9:23-24). There is no other way to follow Jesus.
If we don’t crucify the flesh, the evil deeds of the body, the flesh will crucify Christ out of our lives. Pray and read Romans 6 each morning this week.
Jesus conquered sin, death, and Satan by dying and not by first rising up (Hebrews 2:14). This is how we also are brought forth into His victory by Him – through our own weakness. Let’s give our ear to hear Christ’s apostle Paul:
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
It’s interesting that the vast majority of pastors today insist that it’s impossible to stop sinning and be delivered – as if Jesus failed, didn’t provide a perfect redemption that dealt with past, present, and future sin and complete victory through it all (1 Corinthians 15:57-58; Titus 2:11-14).
“If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. … 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:31-32, 36
Victory and our place with Christ are contingent upon our continuing in His truth, abiding, remaining in Christ after He saves us (John 15:1-6).
They have no faith in the overcoming grace of Christ but instead treat it like a license to justify their sin, as they pretend to be trusting God by grace and faith… yet they never make the connection that Jesus came to redeem us and establish us with Him in His holiness as we look with joy for His soon return (Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:15-16, etc). | Walking in the Full Victory of Christ!
The cross is surrendering. Don’t try harder, just die deeper!
The reason so many don’t take sin seriously and sit under sin-justifying wolves in sheep’s clothing, is because they do not fear nor take God seriously. Then they attack the true messengers of Christ who are declaring that God is holy and His requirement is non-negotiable: that anyone who will know and be with Him eternally cut off occasion for all sin as Jesus commanded in Mark 9:43-49 KJB. They talk about grace but only in the respect that their sins were initially forgiven, yet never in respect to divine grace being the divine influence and enablement in their daily lives to overcome all that displeases Him – as they worshipfully with great gratitude deny self, take up the cross and follow, abide in Jesus (Titus 2:11-14; Luke 9:23-24; John 15:1-6, etc.).
Death, Burial, Resurrection – You go down and God raises you up, daily. That’s the Gospel re-enacted in your daily life. There’s no other way to walk with, to follow Jesus (Luke 9:23-24).
“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
Once He shows you this cross revelation it’s over for your sin and Satan! This is the way we “Taste and see that the LORD is good” beloved (Psalms 34:8). The divine economy is a cross economy which cannot be short circuited. There are no shortcuts.
The safest place in His Universe is for us to be “HID with Christ in God.” How does such occur? (Colossians 3:1-4)
“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3
The more His Word runs rich in your spirit, soul, and mind, the richer, the more cutting and divinely blessed your praying is going to become.
We are crucified with Christ today saints. Christ alone is reigning supreme in us, raising us up out of that death and burial posture. In Jesus’ Name, the “old man” is dead and buried and Christ now lives and reigns in His resurrection power in our lives through us! (See Ephesians 4:22-24.)
Say, pray, memorize Galatians 2:20 beginning right now. Let it be the original Gospel anthem of your life from this day forward.
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20
Becoming prayerfully and steadily saturated in the cross message, concept, and application, is the only thing that brought a consistent victory over sin to this disciple.
In the divine economy, the death and burial guarantees the resurrection!
When we His people are dead and buried, His resurrection power is guaranteed. Nothing could stop the resurrection of Jesus Christ when the stone was rolled away! And nothing can stop the resurrection power of Christ working in His saints as they lay down their lives in this fleeting world!
“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:” John 11:25
Must Take a Ruthless Stand
Concerning the necessity of a ruthless perspective toward the flesh via the cross, we must recognize that the flesh is a terrorist which means it cannot be negotiated with.
Yet there must be forged in us a ruthless perspective, toward our perception of the “never-going-to-die” flesh, a veritable terrorist with which you cannot negotiate or give place to. It will not die until forced, therefore the disciple must take a ruthless posture toward it – showing no mercy to the enemy of God! See Romans 6, 8; Galatians 5.
Never ever underestimate the depth of the deceit that is in the fallen human heart, human nature 1 (Corinthians 10:12; Hebrews 3:12-14; Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9).
We must allow no mercy for what God calls sin…the iniquities, the relentless evil within. It must be honestly dealt with, and perhaps we can observe that there are onion-type layers of evil, of deceit that we are buried in from which only God calls us and brings us forth (Proverbs 8:13; Psalms 97:10; Mark 9:43-49).
While Satan and his masquerading ministers seek to diminish the violation and penalty of sin, Jesus exponentially heightens our awareness of sin’s offense against a holy God when He warns us to cut off the hand and pluck out the eye that cause us to offend Him (Mark 9:43-49).
There is nothing in existence more important to stay safe from than HELL. That’s exactly what Jesus Christ taught. Read Mark 9:43-50 in the King James Bible (new versions have butchered that passage).
Rom 7. The cross must be applied with no respect to the evil desires, the sinful dictates of the flesh.
Our outlook toward the flesh should be “kill or be killed.”
“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.” Romans 8:13
Kill or be killed – picture yourself being put in a room, locked in with just one opponent. Only one of you will be exiting.
A showdown – conquer or be conquered.
Life or death.
Sink or swim.
“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
Either the cross will keep you from sin or sin will keep you from the cross.
“The Cross = The Signature of Jesus.” A disciple
“WHEN THOU WAS LITTLE IN THINE OWN SIGHT”
The LORD removed Saul from his place of kingship due to the pride found in his heart that previously was not there. We must remain humble before our God and the only way this can happen is the daily cross.
“And Samuel said, WHEN THOU WAS LITTLE IN THINE OWN SIGHT, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?” 1 Samuel 15:17
The Bible clearly teaches us that if we do not obey the LORD, He will replace us. We are not irreplaceable and only pride in the heart of a person would convince him of such a lie.
When Esther was called upon by the LORD to go before her husband, the king of Persia, and intercede for the people of God, she was warned that if she chose not to obey God, she’d be replaced and her father’s house destroyed.
“For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14
Ruthless simply and only applies to the PERSPECTIVE the believer must take toward the terrorist, the flesh.
There can be no concession, no compromise, no negotiating with the flesh. It must die and that only happens as we submit to the LORD.
The flesh will never be reformed, it is inherently evil, and must be crucified.
Those who’ve been saved and aren’t learning the daily cross, the crucified life, will never grow in Christ. The cross life is at the center of the kingdom economy of Christ. There are no shortcuts. Jesus taught that in order to follow Him, we must “deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23-24). Any person whom Jesus has saved and isn’t learning the daily cross, is not truly following Jesus. Listen to the Lamb:
“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
PRAYER: Holy Father, in Jesus’ Name, please do Your deeper work in me. Bless this life You died for to be truly crucified with Christ. Please make me Your authentic disciple. Cut away, circumcise every falsity, fakery, deceitful thing from my heart – everything that defiles me in Your holy eyes. Use me LORD, please. I love You. In the name of Jesus, amen.

All these fake Christians are an abomination to the Word of God. So many out there. Even Trump was fooled by Paula White because sadly Trump had no discernment he let this disgraceful woman pray over him. But it’s okay, God says that he uses the weak and foolish ones to confound the “wise.” There is still hope for Trump in being used by God if he himself admits and sees these phony fake Christians who did the same thing with Obama….wolves in sheep’s clothing…..all such evil diabolical fools who sold themselves out….we can only hope that more and more real believers wake up and see the lies and fools among them and come out of this cesspool of fakers and frauds and stand firm in what we know to be true. What good is it for a man or woman to gain the whole world but forfeit their soul? So many evil people everywhere in high positions so many my God it’s overwhelming at times, isn’t it? We feel overwhelmed by such liars and frauds and evil people, but take heart….these things must happen to usher in the antichrist, the one who will come and want us all to take that mark of the beast, right? Right. So be awake, be alert, don’t be fooled…we can’t lose heart because HE who is in us is GREATER than he who is in the world…GOD will win. God is in control. God knows what is going on. God sees all this evil and confusion and all the people who mislead so many people walking them off a cliff, selling lies and evil but we know who we belong to and who we must follow. Never give up. Never give in. At the name of Jesus EVERY knee shall bow and EVERY tongue shall confess that JESUS IS LORD. We don’t bow to anyone to appease the masses. We won’t bow to the evil ones. We are covered by the blood of Christ and we know that our Lord is the only one we can trust because there is no other name under heaven by which anyone can be saved than by the name of JESUS CHRIST the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. God save us all. Be safe be smart. Stay the course. Semper Fi.

Amen brother. Semper Fi to Jesus Christ, right! Psalms 2. As you said Heaven’s KING is coming and it’s not going to be pretty for the wicked! Blood bath to the horse’s bridle! Explosive is an infinite understatement! Revelation 19:11-16. Blessings in Christ to you and your family brother.
