THIS JUST IN FROM ARELY VIA A TEXT MESSAGE LASTING EVENING:

“Thank you for returning us to God 🙏🏻 we are going through a somewhat complicated situation but meeting you today made us return to GOD THE FATHER. THANK YOU REALLY Luke 15” Arely

Last night, by the hand of God, I met Arely, her son, and another dear woman. After Arely received the ministry of the Word via the spoken Word in Spanish and a Jesus tract she also received a PDF copy of the books Authentic and Moments in Spanish via text. Then the other dear woman, after receiving a JESUS tract opened it and began reading it aloud as we all sat together! So that Arely, her 11 year old son, and all of us heard God’s Word read to us. She just read the Scriptures aloud. That young boy was moved and the seed of our LORD’s Word was planted in his heart and he received his own copy of the JESUS tract. (11 years old is when this disciple first heard the Gospel from an older boy) Oh and the reason Arely spoke of Luke 15 was that she was exhorted to go read it and see how beautiful is the restorative love of God! Clearly this was her way to sharing that she went home and sought the LORD, reading Luke 15. | STORE

No one is in a rush, no one here lives in a rush. Refreshing. People matter to everyone here in Mexico.

The latest: Check out the stories of lives being reached for Jesus in beautiful Mexico. Jesus died and rose again for these beloved people and nearly without exception, they desire to hear the Word of God. Oh how beautiful is humility!


When persecution hit Jerusalem, the saints of Christ were scatters. “Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.” (Acts 8:4)

Together we are going out into the world to reach many with the soul saving Gospel of Jesus.

“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:14-15


Pablo, while at work, began to pour out his heart to me. He kept coming back and talking. What a dear man he is. When he found out I was from the USA, he broke down crying. There is deep grief in his life. He has spent ample time in the USA and so is bi-lingual. Please lift this man in prayer. He received a Jesus tract and had God’s Word ministered to him. He asked to exchange numbers and we did and he was sent the pdf versions of Authentic and Moments books in Spanish. Karen Cochran so very true! yes before he began pouring out his heart, all I had said to him to that point was “God bless you” in Spanish. Pablo’s heart was hurting and he was so desiring to have someone to talk to. He was instructed, encouraged to go home and read the Jesus tract and repent and put his faith in Christ and shown the prayer on the back. Thank you praying for him.

Mission Mexico


In the ministry and the lives of Jesus and His holy apostles, we see them going from town to town, preaching the Word. See the 4 Gospels and Acts, etc. It’s not that they didn’t go back to their previous locations to minister to the saints and yet, the fact remains that they were on the move – reaching “all the world” (Mark 16:15).


The people of Mexico are tech savvy and so inviting them to download the Reina Valera Bible (KJB equivalent) and passing, sending them the ministry the books we currently have in Spanish (Moments and Authentic), and Jesus tract is a simple transaction. They even ask for these things. And this makes things simple for them to share with others which they are expressly invited to do.

Presently we are having the What’s Next book translated into Spanish. This is vital, especially for all the new believers as it cover the basics, what’s most important for the saved, in growing in the grace of Christ, building a strong foundation, identifying with Christ (Colossians 2:6-10; 2 Peter 3:18, etc.).


Knowing the power of our God in the name of Jesus I told beloved Joe that many Christians in America are going to be lifting him in prayer….. he rejoiced. Please do! Joe is from Atlanta and has been living here with his lovely wife and children. He was completely receptive to the Gospel of our LORD Jesus and said his mother has been lifting him in prayer and ministering to him for years. No words could describe the ministry time that transpired with this man. He gladly received a JESUS tract, was shown the website address on the back and we exchanged numbers. The devil is on the run! Jesus is KING. Please pray for this beloved man for whom Jesus died and rose again. -And know that YOU, yes you, as a saved, born again saint, are doing the most vital part of this whole story …. as far as men go! We are seeing God answer prayers immediately. Sorry saints but I can’t even keep up and for every person featured there are several more…. Jesus is coming. Jesus and Joe – let’s go saints!

Meeting so many from America and all over the world here. Ran out of tracts and breath tonight ministering!!!!

Boom Jesus Reigns forevermore! Rev 1:8 anyone! | Mission Mexico


Beloved Johan was ministered to extensively this week. For now he is sleeping on a bench it seems. The Gospel was preached to him, he was given a Spanish Reina Valera Bible, and a Jesus tract in Spanish. He also received a hot meal. To say this man was a delight to help would be an understatement. As you will see here he opened that Bible and began reading it aloud, all of his own accord. Video below.

Oh and the special people at the restaurant where Johan was, were very special, received the Jesus tract also, and were glad to be able to feed Johan, all because you gave. After leaving Johan it was yet another rapid fire type barrage of quality ministry to many, one person after the next. Only God!

“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21

That was the last Spanish Bible I had. It’s Johan’s now!

If anyone wishes to help the ministry buy more of these and full Bibles, please feel free. We’re running low on the Jesus tracts here also and always in need of cash to feed and help the poor. Oh and the What’s Next book, to lay a sound biblical foundation in the lives of those being saved, is as we speak being translated into Spanish. See it here on the Store page.

The Gospel is being preached outright – nothing held back. The blood, the cross, the resurrection, repentance and faith, the crucified life, etc.! Lives are being changed. We are only able to feature a small portion of those being reached. God is good. Let’s roll saints. Jesus is coming. | Support

As you can see, Guillermo joyfully received the Word of our LORD spoken to him in Spanish. He was instructed to go home and repent and receive Jesus for the forgiveness of all his sins and to walk with Christ daily to the end of his life. Want to lift this man in prayer? God is able!

*No, none of these people receiving God’s love are ever asked to smile. That’s their own disposition.

YOUR PRAYER

… for God to use you mightily in this final hour…. Holy Father, I come to You afresh in the name of my LORD Jesus Christ, asking You to strip and cleanse every trace of deceit, pride, self- righteousness, and evil from my heart and life. Please make me Your ambassador, a vessel of honor, purified, Your cleansed vessel for Your eternal glory. Make me to be a consummate soul winner who also faithfully feeds Your flock, to nourish and see You cause them to grow in the knowledge and grace of Christ – to be rooted and grounded in Jesus! In Jesus’ name. Sobeit!

The beautiful faces of those our LORD came to die for …..

Today, was blessed to speak at length about Christ and His kingdom with a dear woman named Miss Soni. With each of the people posted on this page, they are informed that many Christian people in the United States are going to be lifting them in prayer. It’s clear that they receive this as a love gesture from the LORD, that’s for sure!

Soni is asking for prayer for wholeness. She is going through difficult times. She received ministry at length and it was obvious that she is crying out for answer, for someone to talk to. She received the spoken Word and a Jesus tract and was very encouraged to know that many Christians, members of the body of Christ, in the USA, will be lifting her in prayer.

Recently, a man named Juan Carlos (yes that’s his name;)…. was shown how to download the Reina Valera Spanish Bible on his phone. He was overjoyed to be introduced to this. Then He received the ministry of the spoken Word and a Jesus tract and was exhorted to go home and pray the prayer on the back in repentance and faith, surrendering his life to Christ. He readily received. Thank you for praying for Juan Carlos.


This morning, our friend Fernando received the love of God in the form of food, hot coffee, a jacket (it’s very cool here now), and a new pair of pants. Yes he does work and yet is getting “back on his feet” at the moment. You will recall that we’ve been ministering to this man for a few weeks now – the spoken Word, the Jesus tract in Spanish etc. Would you like to pray for a miracle in Fernando’s life?
Your love gifts make all of this possible.

FREEDOM IS COMFORT. Read that again. So is being able to afford ones cost of living much easier, right? Here’s one of the best things about Mexico, the people – “Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly (poor), than to divide the spoil with the proud (rich). Proverbs 16:19 …. where I live in Mexico everyone treats everyone else well, they help each other, they value everyone. Mexicans help Mexicans. Family is of the utmost importance – therefore this nation has a future. God will not bless any nation who does not hold to HIS stated nuclear family unity – Husband, wife, children (Ps 11:3; 68:6; Gen 1:27-28).

MANY is the western world talk about “getting ahead” because they are empty and miserable, dissatisfied. In Mexico and most of the world, people just do their work for the day and count it a blessing with no thought of “getting ahead” but rather which just being thankful they had the blessing of working and making a day’s wage. They do not fret or worry about tomorrow…..

WHEN you support the mission of Christ being executed via safeguardyoursoul, we are a team for Jesus. Be sure you are not supporting us buying garbage “food” from a fast (poisoned) food chain. No, we buy them REAL food, locally sourced, healthy for them as we minister to their immediate needs. This helps a family by buying from their business. Most essential, each person ministered to gets a copy of the JESUS tract and a loving communication of the Gospel of Christ in their own language. Let’s roll saints.

“Love this! You are not only feeding their souls with the pure nourishing words of the Lord, you are also feeding their physical bodies with the pure nourishment of real food. Team Jesus!” Karen Cochran

Oh, and the people whom the food is purchased from are ministered to and super receptive…. and also appreciative that they were allowed to be involved in helping the hungry. In Mexico, everyone helps everyone. Amazing.

Ministry Updates

WHEN Jesus is truly “FIRST LOVE” in our lives, we are about HIS Great Commission business, HIS cause (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-28; Acts, etc). WHEN you truly follow Jesus, you are about HIS “business” as the absolutely top priority! (Luke 2:49)

It’s a real blessing to be around a whole people who care for and help each other, who value family and human life immensely. No death culture here.

“We celebrate together what God is doing! I feel so much joy when you share what God is doing in Mexico and when you share the pictures of the precious people of Mexico! We are celebrating Jesus! Just as the Apostles did! It is an encouragement to my heart! Team Jesus!” Karen Cochran


Luis was ministered to in several ways and most importantly he readily received the Word of God plentifully spoken to him. With your gifts, our LORD also blessed Luis with a warm family made meal from a dear lady who cooks daily for those in her vicinity. As with all, when Luis was given a Jesus tract he was showed the prayer to pray in repentance and faith on the back (Acts 20:21).


Juan was as amazingly kind to speak with as one can see on his countenance. Just look at that face, that smile, that noble disposition. Need I say more? He graciously received a Jesus tract, some dinero, and the ministry of the spoken Word of our God in Spanish. Boom.

Amazing. Compliments of Christ’s body, moving with His “compassion” on those without Jesus as their Shepherd (Matthew 9:35-38). Ministry Updates

 


Fernando was ministered to extensively. He’s pretty much bi lingual. He graciously, readily received the JESUS tract and was blessed with some dinero thanks to you. Jesus is touching lives!

 


Your prayers and support make this possible. Jerry heard the Gospel of Jesus in Spanish, joyfully received a JESUS tract in Spanish, and was very receptive, chimed in, loves the truth, is hungry, was instructed to go home and pray the prayer on the back of the JESUS tract in repentance and faith and to be saved….. this many is on his way at least.

All Ministry Updates


Alejandro received, for the second time, a listening ear, and the love of God in the form of the ministry, a Jesus tract, a hot cup of coffee, and some dinero (no as in Robert haha). Since this was our second meeting and in the first one he received ministry, Alejandra started off immediately talking about God and a local fellowship he was talking about.

Mexico Mission Momentum Part 41

The first shipment of Spanish Bibles has arrived!!!


A staggering miracle has befallen Maria’s precious life and she still can’t believe it!

ALL because YOU have said “YES JESUS, I am going to lift this beloved sister in Christ, this laborer for our LORD in prayer…. and you are giving to help her!

You my friend are guilty of delivering glory to God and a death blow to the enemy of all souls!

We are now finding out that Maria works and 3 different locations each day. This is how she is able to distribute hundreds of JESUS tracts daily.

When Jesus says “I will build my church” He was not speaking about collecting money to build physical buildings. That came in with the pagan catholic church hundreds of years later. No, Jesus was speaking of building His kingdom in the hearts of men, beginning with the revelation that He is the Messiah (Matthew 16:18).

If the money you give isn’t going directly into the Great Commission Jesus gave us, you are wasting your giving (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20).

Building up Gospel laboring fruit-filled diligent disciples such as Juan and Maria, is building Christ’s church! Oil the wheels that roll!

“The blessed word says that freely we receive, freely we give. For from His fullness we all receive grace upon grace, blessing upon blessing, brother. So Paul said, ‘Woe to me if I do not do it!’ Then we must do the Great Commission that God gave us for His honor and glory.” Juan

Juan and Maria are being continually tended to, supported with prayer etc.

Brother Mark went to spend some time with sister Maria for the first time and found out she needs a new cell phone. So, we bought her one……..

Maria is a widow and works 3 different “jobs” that are tips only. Her rental is $100 per month. She only told us this information because we asked her. Maybe someone would be prompted to begin paying sister Maria’s rent? God is able amen.

“That we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.”

We’ve been meeting with brother Juan and sister Maria regularly, sometimes daily.

“We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.” 3 John 8

Spiritually and supply wise, refreshing and re-stocking these disciples (and others) is our part, our opportunity and privilege. And you have been a big part of this saints. Your prayer and support have been and are vital.

Recently restocked brother Juan and brought Maria about 2k tracts last night

She was elated.

Your prayers and support are making this possible.

“I will never cease to be amazed by how hungry these people are for God! From all the pictures it looks like they begin to read the Jesus tract as soon as they receive it! In America, it’s very hard to find people who truly want Jesus because they are rich and in need of nothing and have no idea how wretched, miserable, poor, and blind they are. Rev 3:17. Including those so-called Christians! Who just try to put Jesus over their filthy rags! Nothing but dead religion. Yet they believe they are good and will be in heaven, when inside they are white-washed tombs. It’s refreshing to see the hunger of the beloved Mexico people! Thank you for sharing all these stories of how the Lord is touching hearts! Blessed to be a small part of this ministry.” Karen Cochran | Mission Mexico

Your prayers and support are going a long way to help Mission Mexico!!

The Bibles God’s people sent just arrived and will be distributed to incarcerated Mexicans soon.

The JESUS tract is being distributed daily by the hundreds with the Word of God spoken in those exchanges.

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

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.” Hebrews 6:10

Please allow me to remind you … that your prayers and financial fuel are essential to what is going on here and each of Christ’s disciples shall be rewarded equally, fully—no matter what part they play! 1 Samuel 30:24

Recently I became desperate as the need for financial supply dropped like a bless-ed bomb within a short window of time. Instead of trusting I panicked instead of taking it to the LORD and trusting Him. The reception of Juan and Maria has been earth shaking, a type of sign from God that He loves and desires to save the bless-ed and beautiful people of Mexico. America has rejected the LORD saints.

“And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.” Matthew 10:14

Can you even believe that our LORD is using us, you and I and others, to give His glorious Gospel to the nation, the people of Mexico?!

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14  How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” Romans 10:13-14


The Gospel momentum continues to grow:

From brother Juan:  “Brother Cresenciano asked me if I had any Jesus pamphlets he could take with him and hand out, and said he wanted to serve his neighbor with love. Glory to God!”

Over 20,000 JESUS tracts in print here in Mexico. More than 12,000 have been distributed to date. We are now beginning to take in love offerings to print the next 10,000 JESUS tracts.

Okay, from now on, if you see a pic of someone holding a stash or stack of JESUS tracts, it’s because they agreed to do so, they asked for more tracts in order to reach their world here in Mexico with the Gospel of Jesus. Gospel momentum!

Brother Juan and sister Maria and several others in Christ are blazing a Gospel trail (Mark 1:45). Jesus is coming.

Thank you for lifting Mission Mexico, the people of Mexico, in prayer.

Mission Mexico


Thank you for praying for Mission Mexico.



Your prayers and support are fueling the reaching of scores of precious Mexican people, daily!

You have the same reward as the foot soldiers….

“Cursed be the Man that Trusteth in Man” [podcast]


A Nuclear Revelation

“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.” Jeremiah 17:5

“Cursed be the man that trusteth in man” is a powerful verse from the Bible, commonly associated with a specific warning against relying on human strength rather than God.”

So many act like Spurgeon or some other mere man’s writings are on the same level as Holy Scripture. NOT! They prove their idolatry. They are in sin. They glory in mere men and not the LORD! Hell awaits. Jeremiah 17:5; Isaiah 2:22; 1 Corinthians 1:29-31, etc.

God calls us to worship, love, seek, trust, and obey Him as the ultimate authority of our lives in this world.

Another example of this is the idolatry of the demonic fraud CS Lewis!

CS LEWIS EXPOSED

THIS JUST IN:

“Amen! Amen for Prov 10:22. All glory be to Him!

By the grace of God I discovered last night your website, praise Him, in search for exposure on CS Lewis.

By the grace of God I learnt as a baby believer, 20 years ago, that his teachings are dangerous including that witchcraft book and movie, Narnia. Sadly, so called mature Christians in the UK are considering him a saint, a born again believer.

I sent prayerfully ( as I expected backlashes) to my friend last night, a few links exposing CS Lewis including the photo from your website which is brilliant exposure, praise Him but she is still claiming that he ” was truly a born again” ….. sending me his videos! It’s a principle: I don’t watch, read listen to CS Lewis and many others! The Bible is so rich in teachings, why do I need CS Lewis!? !?

My friend is a mature believer, born again believer for over 60-70 years and she cannot see it!

I had to use the VPN and duckduck search engine to get the website exposing CS Lewis, as in the UK, nothing will come up! Mostly of the Christians are bewitched by Narnia and Lord of the Rings! No wonder the country is in such a state of delusion! May the Lord have mercy!

Many blessings in His Name, V.”

CS LEWIS WAS A FRAUD – READ GOD’S WORD! REPENT AND GET IMPRESSED WITH THE LORD, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. IDOLATRY DAMNS!

“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:22

Those who look to men, who receive un-biblical counsel instead of testing it against the Word of God, are trusting in mere man and have brought a curse upon themselves (Jeremiah 17:5-6; Acts 17:10-11; 2 Timothy 3:16-17, etc.). Those who look anywhere except to the LORD Himself are idolaters, are committing spiritual adultery, and will without exception depart from Him and be lost (v. 5). Their names “shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters” (v. 13). The phrase “written in the earth” is in contrast to their names being “written in heaven” (Luke 10:20; Hebrews 12:23). Hell is in the bowels of the earth and that’s where every single person who is not looking wholly to the LORD will spend eternity (Revelation 20:11-15).

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” Proverbs 3:5-7
Trusting Man is seen in the lives of many who claim to be saved and yet trust man’s medicine and counsel wholesale.

Let me get this straight, you pretend to be saved and yet run to some foolish sinner to get drugged for lack of peace or ability to sleep or depression. You are completely deceived and God is calling you to repent now. If you knew Him, would you not be trusting Him and not sinful mere men? “Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD (Jeremiah 17:5).

Modern Sorcery Exposed

You’ve tried the CURSE and it never worked…. Are you ready to let CHRIST make you whole?

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert (spiritually dry, desolate), and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. 12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. 13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters. 14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.” Jeremiah 17:5-14

Psychology/psychobabble, therapy from mere men, sinners…. is a scam, and leaves the victim without hope. Jesus Christ is the only hope for man’s core dilemma—which is sin! ANY person pointing you to a “THE-RAPIST” is demon inspired. They speak against the Word of God and are the child of the devil! See Colossians 2:6-10. SINNERS need the Savior—not some sinner with an indoctrination in the fine of art of applying bandages, never getting to the root. Repent now (Jeremiah 17:9). Jesus alone can make a man whole! (Luke 4:18)

Man’s therapy and psychobabble are laughably insufficient and have never once gotten to the root issue of man’s dilemma which is sin. Jesus says that He “came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15).

Drugs and psychobabble are laughable mere band aids to rob unbelievers, gullible dupes of their money.

“Jesus Christ maketh thee whole”

Only One can make you whole—the One who made you and died and rose again for you.

“And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.” Acts 9:34

“Yep that’s me, the woman with the Alabaster box. And that is all I need—my alabaster box and Jesus! No need for meds or to be psycho-analyzed by some quack. One touch from Jesus is all I need! Just as the woman who touched the hem of His garment and was immediately healed! Luke 8: 43-48. One touch is all she needed.” Karen Cochran

Modern Day Cult of Personality Exposed [podcast]


What is the Cult of Personality?

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1

Beware when you see any mere man enshrined, basically worshipped by his followers. This is all too common in today’s church world and sometimes it’s very subtle. When people begin putting what a mere man says above what God says in His Word, when they quote him instead of the Bible, you know you have a cult.

One source notes:

“A cult of personality, or a cult of the leader, is the result of an effort to create an idealized and heroic image of an admirable leader, often through unquestioning flattery and praise.”‘

CS Lewis has a cult following today, 100%. I’ve encountered it first hand. These people don’t care what you show them as far as the blatant falsehoods he spoke, and have soul tied their affections to him and will defend him no matter what.

A quick search on “what CS Lewis said about the Catholic church”…

“As an Anglican, C.S. Lewis shared many beliefs with the Catholic Church, including the Real Presence in the Eucharist, the necessity of confession, and a belief in Purgatory. However, he explicitly rejected papal authority, the concept of papal infallibility, and certain Marian doctrines.

Shared Beliefs

Lewis held a deeply sacramental and traditional view of Christianity, which aligned closely with Catholic theology:

The Sacraments: He regularly went to confession to a priest and viewed the Eucharist as central to the faith.

The Afterlife: He famously argued that “our souls demand Purgatory”, writing that we would naturally want to be cleansed of our sins before standing in God’s presence.

Devotion: He had a high view of saints and appreciated traditional liturgical practices.”


The same is true for modern day celebrities such as Candace Owens. On a recent live broadcast where she interviewed a man, he showed her live on air, that she was wrong about several things and kindly asked her to apologize several times. Regrettably, Candace was unwilling to apologize,  and most of her cult followers backed her up, cheered her on.

She was called to account for false info and didn’t apologize when asked to.

Her followers cheered her on, never stopping to question things.

Their hearts are set on her not Christ (Colossians 3:1-4).

No matter WHAT she says, they believe it.

Wow.

Jesus says:

“I receive not honour from men. … 44  How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?” John 5:41, 44

By saying this, Jesus condemns putting trust in any mere man.

Jesus makes it clear here that anyone who puts their heart affections in a mere man or woman, is unable to believe on the LORD Jesus Christ for eternal life.

“And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. 7  For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?” 1 Corinthians 4:6-7 

“4:6 He first explains that in speaking about the Christian ministry and the tendency to follow human leaders (3:5-4:5), he used himself and Apollos as the examples. The Corinthians were not forming parties around Paul and Apollos alone, but also around other men who were then in their church. However, out of a sense of Christian courtesy and delicacy, Paul transferred the entire matter to himself and Apollos so that by their example the saints would learn not to have exaggerated opinions of their leaders or to gratify their pride by the formation of parties. He wanted the saints to evaluate everything and everyone by the Scriptures.
4:7 If one Christian teacher is more gifted than another, it is because God made him so. Everything he has, he received from the Lord. In fact it is true of all of us that everything we have has been given to us by God. That being the case, why should we be proud or puffed up? Our talents and gifts are not the result of our own cleverness.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

“I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.” John 8:37

“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.” Proverbs 29:25

“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.” Jeremiah 17:5

“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:22

“LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. 5  Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.” Psalms 139:4-5

A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.” Jeremiah 17:12

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16

1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5

“that no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

“2:5 Paul knew that there was the utmost danger that his hearers might be interested in himself or in his own personality rather than in the living Lord. Conscious of his own inability to bless or to save, he determined that he would lead men to trust in God alone rather than in the wisdom of men. All who proclaim the gospel message or teach the word of God should make this their constant aim.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.” Psalms 17:2

“Sentence” here means verdict.

Prayer of Repentance to be Restored to the LORD: Holy Father, in the name of Jesus Christ and by His precious blood He shed to make me one with You, I come to youin my sinful state. LORD, I openly acknowledge that I have departed from You and sinfully rebelled against You in the sin of idolatry. Right this moment, if never before, I call upon You, Holy Father, asking You to forgive my sins, to change my life, to break me to the core of my being. I fully believe that Jesus Christ is God Almighty, that He came in the flesh, lived a sinless life as the very only begotten Son of God, died on the cross for the sins of mankind, was buried, rose again from the dead, and is soon going to return! I love You my LORD Jesus and from this moment forward, I am all Yours! I will follow You according to Your Word and Holy Spirit. Please fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me every day of my life that You grant! In Jesus’ name, amen!
