BEWARE OF THE AHABS

SO many Ahabs…. WHERE O WHERE are the Elijah’s of today?

“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

There’s a direct connection between how a man views women and successful living as a disciple of Jesus Christ.

“Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.” Proverbs 6:25

Men who live with lust in their hearts for women, for their outer beauty, will be beholden to this sin, in bondage, weakned to nothing, and unable to be valiant for the LORD as was the prophet Elijah who “was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly” and thereby feared and overcame sin and walked in the will of God (James 5:17).

“But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Matthew 5:28

“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 No man can serve two masters …” Matthew 6:22-24

Hearts and therefore “Eyes full of Adultery”

“Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;” 2 Peter 2:14-15

Men who have lust in their hearts, “Having eyes full of adultery”, are captive and subserviant to women and therefore unable to see and to keep the divine distinctions between the roles of male and female. Was this at the root of the men in Thyatira who allowed, who suffered that Jezebel to function outside of her role as a woman? (Revelation 2:20-24)

By their adulterous sin, these men are reduced to nothing. Their strength is small and they are therefore unable to put down rebellion against God such as a woman pretending to be an elder in Christ’s body (Proverbs 24:10).

“Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.” Proverbs 31:3

Women are to teach the younger women and in the gatherings of the body of Christ, are to learn in silence and never be allowed to usurp authority over men as was the case when Jesus rebuked the men at the church of Thyatira. See Revelation 2:20-24. Men are called and ordained to servant lead. Jesus gave His eldership gifts “to men” specifically (Ephesians 4:8-12; 1 Timothy 3:2, etc.). Be the man.

“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” 1 Timothy 2:11-12

Beware of the weak moral coward Ahabs who promote jezebel ….. This is exactly who Jesus rebuked in Revelation 2:20-24 because these spineless, gutless pansies allowed a woman named Jezebel to be an elder in the church at Thyatira. Case closed.

“Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I WILL KILL HER CHILDREN WITH DEATH; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. 24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known THE DEPTHS OF SATAN, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.” Revelation 2:20-24

BEWARE OF THE AHABS (Revelation 2:20-24): Spineless moral coward men will say “the first people who witnessed the resurrected Christ were women.” Yeah, no one said women can’t share the gospel or be used in the gifts of the Spirit. Yet how is sharing the gospel are prophesying the same as a God ordained office and place of eldership and teaching the Bible in the church? It’s not. Lots of biblically illiterate dupes showing who they really are in this conversation. They do not hold God’s written Word as final divine authority and on that basis alone we know they are “NOT of God” according to Jesus (John 8:47; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17).

The Depths of Satan

QUESTION:

“Brother, quick question… The Bible often speaks against Jezebel… My question is… why doesn’t the Bible likewise speak against Ahab for allowing Jezebel to dominate?”

REPLY:

Well it does…. Read Rev 2:20-24 closely and notice that Jesus is confronting the MEN for suffering/allowing jezebel. This is why we call these type men Ahab. Ahab allowed/suffered his wife Jezebel to rule, to function outside her God-ordained role and the devil wreaked havoc as a result. And the horrific fruit of this is spoken of by Jesus in this Revelation 2 passage, in His letter to the church at Thyatira. This is a life changing revelation.

Ahab was the husband of Jezebel! He was a sinful man who allowed his wife to manipulate and control him. A weak constitution, void of the life of Christ is the makings of a man like Ahab. Only the unrepentant have no conviction or strength in the truth. God says all moral cowards (“the fearful”) are hell bound (Revelation 21:8).

Do you know who Ahab was? He was Jezebel’s husband. She controlled him (1 Kings 21:25; 2 Kings 9:22). Jesus primarily condemned the weak moral coward Ahabs (men) in the church at Thyatira for allowing Jezebel to function. Are you getting familiar with Revelation 2:20-24? If not, you will not see the full severity of allowing any woman to function outside of her divinely ordained order. Elders in Christ’s body are men, only men, never a woman (1 Timothy 2:11-12; 3:2). This is God’s non-negotiable order and it’s for her protection and the protection of those who would be victimized by a woman in an eldership position. Read and meditate upon Jesus’ words concerning the weak men who allowed “that woman Jezebel” to function (Revelation 2:20-24).

“Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest (allow) that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.” Revelation 2:20

Today’s Ahab’s are jezebel enablers! (Revelation 2:20-24) Jesus will condemn! Instead of standing on God’s Word, they acquiesce sentimentally to the woman’s fallen nature and her desire to rule over the man (Genesis 3:16). Beware of such deceivers.

BEWARE OF TODAY’S AHABS

A woman preaching to men?

No.

Since preaching and teaching the Bible to the body of Christ at large is specifically ordained for men to do, for a woman to be allowed to do such is usurping – which means she is acting outside of her God-ordained role. This passage below must be attended to with all diligence.

To “USURP authority over the man” is rebellion to God, to His stated order in His kingdom. Jesus gave these eldership “gifts unto MEN”, not women (Ephesians 4:8-12).

Sharing, communicating God’s Word among the brethren yes but never arguing, preaching to, overtly correcting, or taking the position of an elder which is reserved exclusively for men (1 Timothy 2:12; 3:2). Observing the severe threat of Jesus when He spoke specifically to the MEN at Thyatira tells us much about the Ahabish MEN today who are telling and enabling women to preach to men in today’s modern church (Revelation 2:20-24).

GOD’s men must never allow women to lead where they are called to lead (1 Timothy 2:12; 3:2; Revelation 2:20-24).

To put ones self under the ministry of a woman who is acting as an elder among God’s people, is to defy Christ, and to agree with His arch enemy and his jezebels and to bring severe destruction on the people of God (1 Timothy 2:12; 3:2; Revelation 2:20-24).

Beware of the half-baked spineless moral cowards who enable and defend jezebel! By doing so they shake their fists in the face of the LORD Jesus Christ (Revelation 2:20-24).

The reason such counterfeits – weak moral coward men/ahabs – have no conviction or holy fear of God is because their own personal lives are compromised in sin (2 Chronicles 12:14). They are therefore moral cowards due to not being real and right with God – who would otherwise give them His holy boldness, conviction, fear, and strength.

“SUBMIT yourselves therefore to God” (James 4:7) – Are we submitted to God as Christ’s disciple? Are we submitted to God in His role as a man, as a woman? Roles.

Jezebels know who they can manipulate/control and who they can’t! They know when they’ve hit a brick wall when they encounter a man to truly fears and walks with God – and therefore will not be manipulated (Eccl 7:26). Elijah. Like a shark that smells blood and hastens to capitalize on its prey, so the jezebel is skilled at knowing where men are vulnerable! Beware.

No man of God allows the women around him to operate outside of the God-ordained role of the woman! (1 Timothy 2:11-12) This was the very sin of the Ahabs in Thyatira! (Revelation 2:20-24)

As is the case when Jesus castigated the men in the church at Thyatira, Ahab men are manifested – brought into the light out of darkness – when jezebel is exposed! These sinful, compromised moral cowards come to the aid of their counterpart rebel – jezebel! Beware!

True men of God speak the truth and stand on the truth – no matter what.

Ultimately Ahab’s and the Jezebels they enable are not rebelling against men (males) but rather God!

Listen to what Paul spoke to a deceiver:

“Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, 10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?” Acts 13:9-10

Many today want to redefine what a man is to be by their own sinful heart imaginations (false images). The word “gentleman” or “gentlemen” never once appear in Scripture. A man of God, as defined by God, is one who will and does serve the LORD according to His Word … true love – Read Proverbs 27:5-6.

“Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Proverbs 27:5-6.

The jezebel doctrine and spirit want to quiet and condemn truth-speakers! They are of the devil!

Grasp this revealing picture, this illustration:

“And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.” Ecclesiastes 7:26

The devil takes over when we disobey God. When a woman is put into a place of undue authority that she’s not fit to be in, then the enemy comes in through that disobedience – that is, by 1) men not doing what called them to do to servant lead, and 2) when men ignore the Scriptural mandate and allow any woman to fulfill a calling or assume a position of leadership forbidden by God for her role (teaching or usurping authority over men).

“But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.” 1 Timothy 2:12

Remember, Psalm 17:4 says, “By the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.“

See, it’s through obeying God, through the Word of His lips, obeying what God said in his Word, which he uttered, and gave us in written form that we keep ourselves from the paths of the destroyer. I’ve seen so many church environments where the enemy has come in through men who are Ahabs, moral pansies. They’re moral cowards. They do not fear God, and they’ll let women usurp authority over men, and teach them in an authoritative, dominating way, and then comes the devil, and he will “kill her children with death,” Jesus said and those people will experience “the depths of Satan.” (Revelation 2:20-24) That Jezebel comes right on in when weak, Ahabish men abdicate (hand over) their calling to lead over to women and “sufferest” or allow Jezebel (Revelation 2:20-24). If you find yourself in an environment like where a women is allowed to teach or usurp authority over men, I encourage you to flee immediately (1 Timothy 2:9-14). Don’t question it. Just obey God and get out of there.

WHERE are the men who will stand and speak the truth-no matter what?!

The Ahab spirit per se is simply what we classify as a weak-minded, weak-hearted man who is not truly serving Christ although he has a mere “form of godliness.” (2 Timothy 3:5) If he were serving Christ instead of the self-life, he would be infused with divine power and be standing up, speaking the truth, and operating as the head of his home in all meekness and godly wisdom, fearing God knowing he will one day give full account before His Majesty.

Lemuel’s mother taught him: “Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.” Proverbs 31:3

YOU be the man. Study and know what God has made you for and requires of you as a man who is the servant of Christ.

A Jezebel cannot and will not function where there is a true man of God. Godly men men who refuse to be moved off of truth are the rage, the sworn enemies of jezebels! (Revelation 2:20-24)

The lack of God’s strength in men facilitates, allows, suffers jezebel….. jezebels are no match for God’s power in a crucified man as is seen in the ultimate victory of Elijah over the original jezebel witch 1 Kings 18 amen Jesus!

Here’s a commentary someone wrote on Ahab:

“The Ahab spirit causes a man to be wishy-washy and unstable in all his ways. King Ahab was efficient and strong in manipulative and administrative powers. He was weak and vacillating in the face of his powerful wife, Jezebel. He gave his authority, as king, to his wife and even when she abused it, he remained passive, voiding confrontation, and let her have her own way.

The wife receives the Head position of the home because the Ahab husband doesn’t want it, it takes too much energy. Most people do not realize that if a home is out of order God will allow it to come under a curse. Too many fathers, through rebellion and lust, have not lived a godly example to their wife and children. The end result of this neglect opens the door for rebellious spirits to enter the wife and children. Too many men fail to provide spiritual leadership in their homes and then, too often, the spirit of Jezebel surfaces in the wife causing the wife to be forced into headship of the home which is totally demonic. This is a very serious part of the Ahab spirit at work.”

“The fall of mankind occurred as a result of the woman leading, and the man following. This is the exact opposite of God’s non-negotiable order. As we see in the church at Thyatira, when men allow women to lead there will be chaos every time.” Jeni

Prayer for men by sister Verna D.

“Most Ahab’s Are Cowards and Need Jezebel To Empower Them Because They Are Too Fearful To Stand Alone With God And Too Fearful To Stand Against Jezebel!

A Weak Coward Man Is No Match For Jezebel And He Knows This And Will Willingly Submit To Her Power And Authority Over Him Which Is Demonic! What Is Sad is when a Man Really Wants To Come Out But Doesn’t Know Or Understand The Power Of God Over This Or How To Stand Up! I Pray God Empowers The Men That Are Willing And Desire To Stand That They Will Conquer This Evil Spirit And Territory By The Power Of Christ Jesus And That God Will Give Them The Faith, Strength And Determination To Overcome It All In Jesus Name……”

Jezebel The Depths of Satan

THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT: DIRECT OPPOSITE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD

Beware of the Scripture Twisting Jezebels [podcast]

Abiding

“Be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord” [podcast]

“Be Not Moved Away”

“If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;” Colossians 1:23

The victory is in Jesus Christ, and we are “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 thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 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.” 1 Corinthians 15:57-58

Remaining before the LORD, seeking His holy face “continually” is essential to abiding in Christ (1 Chronicles 16:11; John 15:1-16; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:16).

“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Romans 8:6

Being “stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the LORD,” has never been more essential than it is in this last hour before our LORD’s return.

Jesus is coming.

The Devil’s Diversions

“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11

Satan has laid traps for each of us, snares of politics, non-essential doctrines, heresies, and fascinations of all kinds (2 Corinthians 2:11; Colossians 2:8-10; 1 Peter 5:8). Beware. His mission is to derail Christ’s saints from abiding oneness, fruitfulness – the fruit, more fruit, much fruit Christ has ordained us to walk in. Read John 15:1-16.

These things are of this fallen world and used by “the god of this world” himself, Satan (2 Corinthians 4:4).

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” 1 John 2:15-17

Why are there Christians who fall away from the work of Christ? – It’s because they ceased, fell away from the worship of Christ. Ceasing to participate in the work of Christ is the result of ceasing to worship Christ truly – becoming worldly or all about the fleeting cares and trinkets of this world.

“And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” Mark 4:17-19

“JESUS was met with hatred, and if you follow HIM you will be also. Hate mongers didn’t stop HIM, and shouldn’t stop us either.” Nelline Richard

Dear friend, be reminded that you will stand before the Almighty to give full account for your life in His earth that He gave you to steward for His eternal glory.

“We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.” Romans 14:10

Satan, the “god of this world”

As “the prince of the power of the air,” the evil one controls the airwaves and uses the noise to distract you, to confuse, and to anchor you in the temporal, the horizontal. This he does to prohibit/hinder your fellowship with the LORD, the vertical.

Are you living FREE or AFRAID/in FEAR?

“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:16-18

Someone has rightly stated: “Fear is the currency of control.”

“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” Colossians 3:1-4

“Jesus’ twelve disciples didn’t get rich off the gospel, they died for it.” Nelline Richard

Do you see this misconception of dragging a cross around as an issue, an erroneous view of what Christ and Paul spoke of concerning the daily cross and the purpose of it?

Yes exactly, and perhaps that’s what’s missing—the resurrection—from the erroneous view of the cross by the modern church….

Only Jesus bore our sins on that cross (Isaiah 53). Dragging our cross around daily won’t expiate for even one or any one of our sins….. we are debtors to live in the Spirit instead of the flesh

One disciple noted:

“We owe no debt to Christ. This is law—tit for tat thinking. Salvation is a gift. It is not a MasterCard account, but an unconditional gift. We are now to live after the Spirit, not the flesh. Yes, without the aid of the Holy Spirit the cross message is a burden with no good news. Lies. Romans 8:12. We are not debtors to the flesh. We are debtors to no one! We have been given a gift for which no debt was/is incurred.”

Heirs with Christ:

“12 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.
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:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” Romans 8:12-17

A Brother wrote:

“The worldly mind cannot think outside of ‘performance-based,’ tit for tat, earning blessing, merit based meritocracy, mammon based, law based labeling and judgmentalism, eye for eye, love those who love you back but not enemies. This is all a legalistic tree of knowledge of good and evil type mind and is dualism. God is non-dual, single, pure, not double-minded, sincere and the tree of life (love) which has a single-eyed view of life and lives in the way of the cross— unconditional self-sacrificial love.” T

The mind has to be turned upside down by the experience of the cross and resurrection to get this “mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16).

Perhaps this is all about the exchanged life, right?

Clearing the Noise

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

Only the truth, embracing and obeying it, makes us free from confusion and fear (John 8:31-32, 36).

Is the Cross Meant to be Drudgery or Victory?

The cross makes us free from the chains of religion, false obligation, dead pursuits, and drudgery.

As you well know, there’s a common misconception that is in the mind of most Christians concerning Jesus’ command to deny self, take up the cross and follow Him…. WHAT does that really mean? Does it mean the believer has to drag some burden around every day of his life? Does it mean drudgery, misery, and a heavy weight (Matthew 11:28-30)?

Let’s clear this up, God willing brother. I know you’ve probably taught on this already since you’ve been teaching and learning the cross for a while…… is it correct that……

The cross isn’t a burden. It’s an instrument to crucify you so that you can be liquidated, raised up, and free to be glorifying to, and to be used of God (Galatians 2:40).

The cross is not a burden. It is an instrument of crucifixion so that you are set free to serve God in the resurrection grace of Jesus Christ who is the resurrection and the life.

The cross sets us free, resurrection life in Christ…..”

F.B. Meyer on Colossians 3:1-11

“SEEKING THE ‘THINGS THAT ARE ABOVE’

Let us repeat the glorious truth, which was doubtless the heart of Paul’s teaching, that our old nature has been nailed in Christ to the Cross, and laid in the grave; and that our real self, the second Adam, has entered the new world of resurrection. We belong to the world on the threshold of which Jesus said, ‘Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended.’ We must guard against the defiling touch of the world, of sin, and of the old self-life. We stand between two worlds, each solicits us: let us yield to the influences that pull us upward, and not to those that anchor us to this sinful and vain world. Our eternal blessedness has begun, let us walk in it.

In Christ we profess to have put off the old man, i.e., the habits of our former life, Col_3:9; now let us actually do so, in the power of the Holy Spirit. We profess to have put on the risen Christ, Col_3:10; now let us don the attire and habits of the new man. Too many Christians resemble Lazarus, quickened from his death-sleep, but still arrayed in grave-clothes. Too few array themselves in the radiant beauty of the risen Lord, which is the common heritage of all who believe in Him, whatever their rank or nationality.” F.B. Meyer

“WE (plural) are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9

NOTHING happening on God’s earth today is even remotely important compared to the work of Christ through His saints – to feed His flock and win the lost! That is the Great Commission He mandated to us and holds us accountable to accomplish! He’s with us beloved saints – all the way to the end – supplying every iota of grace and otherwise!

Jesus promised “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20

His wife is presently in Colorado; he expressed strain on his family. Jose received God’s Word preached to him […]

Evangelism Adventures: Stories, Reports, and Testimonies of God's Amazing Love [podcast]

SO, we prayed for God to use us today right? …. He’s hearing our prayer. So, in the gym this morning, a lady near me was struggling to get a large plate on each side of the barbell. So, I began to help her and she said “No Ingles” which means she does not speak English. So, I affirmed that she speaks Spanish and I began to speak God’s Word to her in her language. Her face lit up and she thanked me. God is good! Jesus says “The seed is the word of God” and His people are planting […]

The Greatest of these is Charity [podcast]

God sent His only begotten Son to die for your sins and He now calls you to lose your life in this fleeting world and follow Jesus – His example and His teachings.

“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” 1 John 3:16

Loving God and Others

“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40

Following Our LORD Jesus by Putting God and Others Above Ourselves

“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:” Philippians 2:3-5

Due to the Many Evil things Transpiring in this Late Hour before Our LORD Returns, the Love of Many toward God and Others, is Waxing Cold

“All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:8-14

Keeping Ourselves in the Love of God

“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” Jude 21

“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:7-8

“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” 1 John 4:7-8

“Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;” Romans 12:9-10

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” John 13:34-35

The Savior’s Love in His True Disciples vs the Lovers of Self

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5

God’s Love in Us

THE LOVE CHAPTER

Read it each morning this week in the King James Bible.

1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

YOUR PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I come to You now, in Jesus’ name. Please make good on Your prayer of oneness – that Your people, Your body will be one with You. Thank You for dying for my sins Jesus, for shedding Your precious blood to purchase me to Yourself and the Father. Please break me, let me be poor in spirit and pure in heart. Cause me to be full of Thy holy love toward You and others. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
