You Taking Over? Really?

The call of many of the false prophets and false apostles and false ministries today is to “take over.” Really? Take over what? Take over who? Paul told us what he had to daily “take over” or tend to:

“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

God gave Paul the responsibility to rule his own “body” and not someone else’s body or money or thinking. That’s witchcraft, which is a soul-damning work of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21).

Dominionism is the same error and movement as what’s called “kingdom now” where misled mere men believe and are taught that we, as Christians, are here to “take over.” Jesus is the only Righteous Ruler who will “take over” when He returns.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.  7Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:6-7

We have to beware of dominion-ism theology which is rampant today and has caused the disillusionment and derailment of many. God wants us to dominate our own beings – that’s the garden He gives us responsibility over. The cross – dying down deep with Christ – is what God is calling us to and not to take over beloved saints. We need to let God take over our own beings by obeying Him in dying to self and letting HIM raise us up in His strength and grace to please Him. That is, instead of becoming luciferic by trying to be our own little gods who attempt to rule and reign. Learn Isaiah 14:12-15 and you will see exactly who this “take over” dominion falsehood is of the enemy and not Christ. Jesus says “My kingdom is not of this world” and so why would we think it’s Him who is leading us to try to take over this fleeting, soon to be completely renovated temporal world? (John 18:36)

In His parable about stewardship, Jesus used the word “occupy.” (Luke 19:13) The Greek word for “occupy” is defined as “to busy oneself or to trade.” When Jesus said “Occupy till I come”He was not speaking of taking over or attempting such foolishness (Luke 19:13). “Occupy”doesn’t mean to take dominion.  When someone house sits, they are occupying a home as opposed to taking over which would be more like a home invasion.

Dominate This!

“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:24-26

Our reigning is for later, that is, if we allow Him to rule and reign our personal lives here and now (Luke 19:27). According to Holy Scripture, our best life will be later and not now. Only those in whom Christ is allowed to reign, will be with Him in eternity. Beware of the many fools gold messages that fly around today, tickling ears and ushering souls into eternal damnation. Were we not warned? (Colossians 2:8; 2 Timothy 4:2-4)

“But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.” Luke 19:27

Reigning with Christ is for later when we are with Him. For now, He commanded us to rule our own bodies well by dying daily and allowing Him to raise us up by His power and grace to please Him (Luke 9:23-24; Romans 8:11, etc.).

“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” Revelation 20:6

As we rightly steward the temple He gave us (ourselves), we will be blessed to reign with Him eternally.

Let’s finish here with a quote from one writer on the daily cross:

“Here’s the principle. This is what I want to get across to you today – That all blessing in your life comes through the cross. All power, all multiplication, all filling of the Spirit, all joy – everything comes from you getting down into the death of Christ. The humility, the brokenness, the lack of anything you can depend on any more, the being brought to your wit’s end, it’s whatever the circumstances are going on in your life that’s working you down to this point, getting you down to the bottom… you’ve got to go to the bottom to come up …. we need to be exposed, we need to be reduced, we need to be brought to nothingness, because that’s when God’s blessing will move in and start to enable you and give you this transcendence of power over the devil and demons and anything that is coming against you. God creates something out of nothing. That’s why He would send them out in the storms, to get them out there where they were totally at the mercy of the elements and there’s nowhere they can go for safety, winds and waves …. that’s the kind of circumstances God has got to bring you into. He’s got to interrupt your life to bring you to and end of yourself. If you don’t have any suffering in your own life then you can get down and enter into others (help them in their sufferings).”

Fresh Prayer: Jesus, You have died for me, rose again, found and saved me, and now call me to lay down this life that You might raise it up to bring You alone. It by Your initiating grace that I have been redeemed and I ask You to multiply that grace as I wait upon Thee. Heavenly Father, please anoint my life to be dead and buried with You so that it can be raised upward in Your Holy Spirit to fully glorify You. In Jesus’ holy name, amen.

Attend to My Words [podcast]


IF THE WORD isn’t flowing into you daily, you are falling away. Flood and fuel your heart and mind and body with the pure, the holy light of God’s Word daily and you will never famish! All darkness will be vanquished (Psalms 119:130). All who have been saved and yet aren’t in God’s Word and prayer daily – have rejected Christ, with no exception. Re-turn to the LORD prodigal. There’s no good outside of Christ the KING.

“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130

ALL who are not in God’s written Word daily are not hearing from God, do not have God’s wisdom and direction, and are walking in darkness – 100%.

The feeding of Christ’s flock would integrally involve exhorting them to diligently study and walk in God’s Word themselves, daily (John 21:15-17). Isn’t this exactly what the apostle Paul told Timothy to do? Yes. He told his understudy to “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)

One of the ways we know who the false ministers are, is that they want people dependent on THEM, not God. So, they don’t constantly exhort the people to get into God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures, for themselves. Run.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8 

“He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. … My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:4, 20-23

“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

“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

“Over the last 5-10 years I can see where He has done this for me already, but the problem is …. it’s not enough! I want even more! One hour of study and prayer in the morning is not enough!” Christine

Gathering Fruit for Christ’s Eternal Glory [podcast]


IF you are truly born again, God has called you personally to participate in, to obey His Great Commission command— NOT to salvage any country in this fleeting world.

It’s amazing how many people claiming to be saved spend more time, energy, and money trying to save America than they do building up the body of Christ and evangelizing the lost. Anyone claiming to be saved and yet is not participating in the Great Commission command of Christ, is out of the will of God. Repentance needed.

Save America or See Jesus Save Eternal Souls?

“America is under God’s judgment for sure. And recently there was a golden statue made of Trump. And Pastors are praying over it. A golden calf. Same thing happened in the book of Exodus and God slew 3,000 men. This angers Him greatly! There will be a severe price to pay for this adultery! America is definitely going down at the divine judgment of God.” Karen Cochran

Forget saving America. Win souls. Preach the original Gospel to see eternal souls saved unto the LORD. See Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20.

A good thing to ask proud Americans who claim they are Christians:

1. “When’s the last time you led someone to Jesus?”

2. “How much time and how much energy do you spend trying in vain to “save America” or “Make America Great Again” compared to the time and energy you spend learning, studying, and meditating on God’s Word and doing it – as in the Great Commission?”

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21

Anyone claiming to be Christ’s and yet is not doing, is not obeying His Great Commission mandate, is not in the will of God.

Regrettably, America is going down in judgment.

No efforts can undo the present reality of those claiming to know Christ refusing to truly repent, nor the 60 million innocent babies America has murdered in cold blood and called it “choice.”

Honoring something God calls “an abomination” brings “the curse of the LORD” upon any nation to do such. See Leviticus 18:22 and Proverbs 3:33. Sodomy is sin!

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21

Doing the will of the Father is executing the Great Commission Jesus gave us!

2 BIBLICAL EVIDENCES PROVE THAT AMERICA IS OVER – if there is no repentance, change [podcast]

“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35  Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36  And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37  And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38  I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.” John 4:35-38

Jesus says act now! To put off His work is to put off Christ. Read that again!

“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62

Many aren’t putting off their own sinful, lust-filled agenda in the world, right?

There is nothing new under the sun. See the book of Haggai.
