“And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” Matthew 21:13

Command to withdraw thyself from those who infer that what you have monetarily is equal to your spiritual state:

“Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:5-12

Does God favor the rich? No! – “Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? James 2:5 

Jesus says: “Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. Luke 12:15

Serita Jakes bring in Yoga to the Potter’s House


Path to Popularity: Catapulted on the success of his book titled “Women Thou Art Loosed,” Jakes played on the emotions of women nationwide. He became popular by convincing women they are victims without ever calling them to repentance for their own sin and wrongdoing. Satan has not changed – he likes to go to “the weaker vessel” in order to gain a foothold into the family (1 Peter 3:1-7) Remember in the Garden of Eden how the serpent approached Eve and not Adam? (1 Timothy 2:9-14) This is how Satan, the most subtle beguiler, gains entrance and bring his stealing, killing, and destroying (John 10:10).

“For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” 1 Timothy 2:13-14

Without exception, the true Gospel begins with repentance and not before (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19). Women are not innocent victims and their core problem is not men (males) but rather their own sin. This is the case with all humans. The woman was integrally involved in the fall of mankind – “the woman being deceived was in the transgression (sin).” Jakes fails to mention this but rather coddles women in their wounds without giving them the biblical command to repent of their own sin which is where all divine healing begins and not before (Acts 3:19).


Jesus or Jakes?

Comparing Jakes and Jesus

“Start appreciating yourself. Remind yourself, “I am valuable to God. I am somebody. Yes, I’ve been through some bad times. But the Lord touched me and loosed me and now I’m glorifying God and I’m not going back to where I came from.”-T.D. Jakes

My Response:

No such language is ever seen in Scripture as Jakes uses here. Christ and His holy apostles are not once seen telling any person to “appreciate yourself” or to “remind yourself of how valuable YOU are to God.”

Who infuses our hearts with God’s love?

“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.” Romans 8:16

You see, confirmation, affirmation, and assurance is the work of the divine Person of the Holy Ghost inside each true born again disciple who is abiding in Christ and not the prerogative for any mere man to pretend to undertake.  Any man who attempts to do this assuring work reserved for God Himself, is meddling and usurping His place in that believer’s life.

“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. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.” Romans 8:13-16

You see, instead of Jakes giving the Word of God, he gives the enticement line to draw in his unsuspecting prey.

“For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.” 2 Peter 2:18

Jakes is playing on the emotions of his listeners. He is playing them and making merchandise of them (2 Peter 2:1-3). Also, Jakes uses his signature deception concerning “I’ve been through some rough times” to play upon his listeners, luring them in as he fosters in them excuses. He never speaks of their sins they have committed which caused them to reap where they sowed. No sense of personal responsibility is ever mentioned. He leaves out a very large component of God’s economy and Word – sin! We are all guilty of sinning and must own up to the fact that we just may be reaping where we have sown (Galatians 6:7-8). Then there is purgings, chastening, and also persecutions.

Jakes often speaks of the Lord touching people, but God is not going to touch or bless anyone who is not being honest before Him – “He that covereth (hides, denies) his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.”(Proverbs 28:13)

In contrast to Jakes, Jesus commands us to “deny” and “lose” ourselves and not appreciate self (Lk. 9:23-24). The consistent teaching of Scripture is that self must be crucified, mortified, and put to death (Romans 6, etc.). Self is never to be aggrandized. God is Majestic and “Holy, holy, holy” and we do not deserve to be saved as wretched, depraved sinners.

“Deny” and “Lose”

“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

Jakes is alluring gullible ears as he is teaching a cheap brand of pyscho-babble. He is feeding the flesh of his naïve listeners and supporters, just as Scripture foretold. They do not want to truth and are therefore turned over by the LORD Himself to believe lies and fables. This is divine judgment upon them for following a man instead of Christ who gave us His blessed Word.

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:2-4

“And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thess 2:10-12

“Give us smooth things” is what the rebels of Isaiah’s day cried for and nothing has changed (Isaiah 30:9-10).

“But I Can’t Understand the King James Bible” [podcast]


YOU MUST know the Author of the Bible to understand it. Friend, if you are not 100 certain you are born again and going to Heaven if you die today, it’s 100% certain that you are not born again. Making Peace with God

Someone wrote:

“I’ve tried to read the Bible, but I can’t understand it.

The Scriptures tell us that the ‘natural man’ cannon understand the things of the Spirit of God. Most Americans would find it difficult to understand the Chinese language. However a child who is born into a Chinese family can understand every word. That’s why you must be born again with God’s Spirit living within you (John 3:3). The moment you become part of God’s family, the Bible will begin to make sense.” unknown

“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” Psalms 12:6-7

WHY would God have gone through the trouble of keeping His own promise to have His Word translated into our language if we weren’t going to be able to understand it in our own language? THAT is an indictment against the Almighty and some are foolishly making such an indictment.

“Wow I was raised in the lowest education state in the country with average grades at best and can easily understand the King James Bible…. that’s all my son heard from inception was the King James Bible and he repented and received Christ at just 4 1/2 years old. Regularly I hear college ‘educated’ people claim they can’t understand God’s Word – the King James Bible. What??!!!! Time to repent and get the devil out of your life! (James 4:7)” Todd Tomasella

Please stop with the lame “I can’t understand the King James Bible” excuse.

N o n s e n s e !

Have you considered how it sounds when you claim you can’t understand God’s Word?

“I read my 9 year old a little of the King James most nights before bed. Kids may not understand everything it says but their spirits are being fed nonetheless!” Lori Anne 

REPLY:

EXACTLY. My son, was only read the KJB and asked to be saved at 4 1/2. The LORD saved him, right then and there.

The Holy Spirit is our Teacher and He uses His Word to do so (John 14:26; 16:13-14; 1 John 2:20, 27).

The devil fed you that excuse – that you can’t understand God’s Word – through his seminarian wolves – his greed-driven, ease-loving false prophets. They facilitate this lie by selling you on corrupted “bibles.” Are you older than a babe? Listen:

“At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and HAST REVEALED THEM UNTO BABES.” Matthew 11:25

Isn’t it time to get a real Bible? Isn’t it time to exchange the plastic butter knife for the Sword of God’s Word! Without exception, all new versions are satanic corruptions. Satan is the doubt-caster, the liar from the beginning who changes God’s Word (Genesis 2:17; 3:1, 4; John 8:44).

So, even after seeing how the enemy of Christ has removed thousands of words and verses from God’s Word, some STILL keep reading a new perversion as if this blasphemous satanic attack is okay? Wow!

So is YOUR own self-serving “comfort” of reading a little fairy tale per-version of the Bible more important than Jesus Christ being attacked by Satan in the butchering of HIS Word? If so, it’s time for you to repent for real and when you do, you will lay down your life – the cross.

Content!

“I’m Afrikaans speaking, English is my second language in which i evangelize mostly. It was hard to learn an older English style in the King James Bible, but I wouldn’t change it for anything! The English of the King James Bible slams into one’s heart, harder, as a precious treasure!” Erik Van Niekerk

Natural and Spirit Food

As the creation of God, we don’t understand much of what happens when we eat physical food and yet to nourish our bodies. We don’t question it. No, we just eat food in order to satisfy our hunger and to nourish our bodies, right?

That’s how it is with God’s Word. Though our understanding is minimal, we, as Jesus’ born again saints, hunger for more of Him and know we must be filled daily with His divine nutrients. So, we ingest His Word to nourish our hearts!

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.” 1 Peter 2:2-3 

COMMON EXCUSE:

“But I have a hard time understanding the King James Bible.”

REPLY:

Understand and yet do we want to read a perverted fake “bible” that is NOT the Word of our God? Can the Holy Ghost not teach us His pure Word which HE gave, breathed? My son heard nothing but the KJB from birth and was saved and 4 years old. “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:12-14 …. godless perverts have added to and taken away from the words of the very LORD who came and died for us. How does He feel about us pretending that that is actually His Word? If a man is courting a lady and he reads and honors the words of her (his girlfriends) enemy, how would that make her feel?
Read Revelation 22:18-19 KJB

Can you understand the following words of Jesus? – a severe warning to anyone who would dare add to or take away from His Word?

“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

Repent!

Those who truly repent understand the Word by studying it and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 11:25; 2 Corinthians 3:16-18; 1 John 2:20, 27, etc.).

Rupert Herdsman notes: “The King James Bible is the only English Bible not corrupted!!! I had five other versions of the bible but all of them with the exception of the King James are corrupted and missing key scriptures!”

What Does it Mean to Follow Christ? [podcast]


“Earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” Jude 3

THE LORD is calling for an immediate release of the WHOLE counsel of HIS WORD!

DO you have a 20/20 vision? Read Acts 20:20 and get it!

Just like fake news TV, wolves only give you a small part of the whole story – in order to manipulate you! Half truths kill!

YOU know when you are right with God when you are running TO the cross message and not AWAY from it! “Enemies of the cross” of Christ “mind earthly things” and not the things the LORD commanded (Philippians 3:18-19).

The cross is a dethroning, unseating of self and the enthroning of Christ!

Guilty of Condoning Evil Romans 1:32

Public Acceptance of Sin

When we participate in that which is an abomination to the LORD, when we help those lies spread, prosper, poison the minds of the people, we bid God speed to evil and come under a curse. We shall be judged with the wicked if we do not repent. 2 John 11.

Any preacher not preaching on the blood of Jesus, on sin named by God in His Word, and the necessity to be crucified with Christ daily and overcome all of it, is an “accursed” false prophet who is preaching “another gospel.” (Galatians 1:6-9) Run or you’re going to hell with Him – for condoning, for “bidding Godspeed” to the fraud (2 John 10-11).

“God … commandeth all men every where to repent.” Acts 17:30

This short, yet convicting commentary is taken from the Life in the Spirit Study Bible concerning Romans 1:32.

First let us review the Biblical text, then the commentary.

“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” Romans 1:32

HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM. Paul’s last word on general human sinfulness is God’s condemnation of a condition even more damning than the practice, i.e., supporting , approving, and encouraging evil by taking pleasure in the immoral actions of others. This disposition is the ultimate in depravity-vicarious enjoyment of lust and evil. Sin becomes entertainment. (1) The word “have pleasure” (Gk. suneudokeo) means “are pleased with,” “delight in,” or “give approval to,” and points to the casual enjoyment of the sins of others that prevails in human society. (2) Today we know that great harm is produced by the portrayal of immorality that dominates the entertainment media; yet many consent to it and derive pleasure from it. Being entertained by watching other people sin and engage in ungodly actions, even while you yourself abstain, brings you under the same condemnation of God as those engaging in such evil practices. Iniquity is intensified in any society where sin meets with no inhibition from the disapproval of others and where people enjoy watching it. (3) Hence, those (and especially those who profess faith in Christ) who use the immoral actions of others for entertainment and enjoyment are directly contributing to public opinion favorable to immorality and, therefore, to the corruption and eternal damnation of an indefinite number of other people. This sin is worthy of death and will be exposed and judged at the final day of judgment (2 Thess. 2:12). Life in the Spirit Study Bible

“I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.” Psalms 101:3

ALL WHO ARE “OF GOD” STAND ON HIS TRUTH AND ALL WHO DON’T ARE “NOT OF GOD.” (JOHN 8:47)

There is no neutral position. Now is your hour to truly repent and become wholly in love with Jesus (Revelation 3:15-16).

“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Matthew 12:30

Any people, society celebrating sin is under divine judgment from the unchanging God – just as was Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19).
