MINISTRY which pleases God is simply helping people know and grow in Christ for themselves – by the cross life and getting into HIS Word for themselves so they can follow HIM, not you! True ministry fosters in the hearers faith in God, not the preacher or local church organization! Read 1 Corinthians 2:1-5; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 3:5; 4:5.

IT doesn’t matter if you like someone’s personality or how they make YOU feel, THAT has nothing to do with whether or not they are a true or false prophet! Repent. Deny yourself. Lay down your life – be crucified with Christ. Follow JESUS not man! Gal 2:20; 6:14

Matthew Washington writes:

“A true follower of Christ never follows a personality but rather they seek and follow the truth which is Christ. Question: Are you following Christ or a man, method, or ministry? Everyone of us who name the name of Christ should ask the Father if we are truly following Him or something or someone else that we think is Him. Deception is Rampant!!! Let no man deceive you by any means.”

To assume that most ministers are true is to reveal that one is operating out of a carnal, not a kingdom mindset.

“And MANY false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:11

“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

Does the term “many true prophets” ever appear in Scripture? NO!

WOULD so many be deceived by the “MANY false prophets” we were warned about if they studied God’s Word diligently for themselves? No! (Matthew 24:11; Hosea 4:6: 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; 2 Timothy 2:15).

IF you are going to defend a preacher, the burden of proof is on YOU to demonstrate how they are preaching the original Gospel, or not. Do you even know the original Gospel?

GOD has a problem with those who misrepresent HIM – false prophets. Read Jeremiah 23 and Ezekiel 34 and begin to gain a biblical education and view of the world. If you have a problem with people who obey God by exposing His enemies, false leaders, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GOD HIMSELF.

While naming the names of wolves is biblical and therefore important, it’s also important for us to learn the tools of discernment which is all in God’s Word (Romans 16:17-18). This way we are individually able to discern who is true from the “many false prophets.” (Matthew 24:11; 1 John 4:1)

WHAT better strategic placement could Satan possibly obtain than positioning himself as a minister, cloaking himself behind the cloth, getting a foot in the door, anchoring himself in the midst of that which professes to be Christian? This he does as he deceives the seekers using men who pose as Christ’s very ministers (2 Corinthians 11:12-15). As he controls those in ministry positions, is he then not in the perfect position to mislead those who come to seek the LORD? Were we not often warned of this very thing – wolves who hide behind sheep garb? (Matthew 7:15)

“For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.” 2 Corinthians 11:12-14

In a recent conversation ……

The wide net was cast by our LORD and John His apostle when both of them used the words “MANY false prophets.” (Matthew 24:11; 1 John 4:1) Now by deduction, when we consider that there is the complete absence of the words “many true prophets” in God’s Word, it seems that we can conclude that most men in ministry are Satan’s agents. Now couple that with Scripture revelation like this one concerning the condition of the apostate church world in the final days of this age: “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse (epidemic increase), deceiving, and being deceived.” (2 Timothy 3:13) Oh and how about: “For we are not as MANY, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” (2 Corinthians 2:17)

There are explicit Bible verses mandating that false leaders be exposed – and that is so people can be protected (Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3-4 etc.).

Is your favorite preacher communicating Scripture like this (below) to warn you? OR, is the wolf tickling your ears? (2 Timothy 4:2-4)

“Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” Revelation 2:10

The Cross of Christ in Ministry

“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” Galatians 6:14

“For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:2

When a man is truly “crucified with Christ,” (Galatians 2:20), Christ alone will be magnified in and through his life.

“For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.” 2 Corinthians 4:5

There is simply no separating the cross from false prophets…. They are the very ones leading millions to hell because they refuse to take it up and then preach it.

There is no Gospel of Christ without the cross!

Paul calls self-serving ministers “enemies of the cross of Christ.” (Philippians 3:18-19)

True Ministers vs False Leaders – The Difference!

How does Satan mislead people?

“For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” Isaiah 9:16

The question often arises: “HOW does the Bible define a false prophet/leader? WHO are the false leaders among us?”

Simple: The true minister of Christ is a faithful servant to the LORD and will always lead you to magnify Christ according to HIS stated biblical prescription – the cross.

The false prophet simply leads you to worship at the altar of self instead of the Savior.

IF A MAN isn’t preaching the cross – that you must die, lived the crucified life – he’s a wolf, an “enemy(ies) of the cross of Christ.” (Philippians 3:18-19) NOW, how “MANY false prophets” are there? (Matthew 24:11; Philippians 3:18-19; 1 John 4:1)

Beloved saint of Christ, may God grant you greater and greater discernment – eyes to see and ears to hear.

SUNDAY MORNINGS: Did he preach Christ? The cross? Hell? Repentance? Holiness? The return of Jesus? If not, run! The Apostate Modern Church: SO much about raising money for man’s “building projects” and little or nothing about Christ! Hint: They are raising more money to entertain more goats!

CLUE: Modern wolves repeatedly invite their gullible prey to give them money to perpetuate their circus act they call “church” and yet can never be heard calling people to come in repentance and faith before a holy God through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ! Run!

A COMMON OBJECTION HEARD WHEN CHRIST’S DISCIPLES WARN AND IDENTIFY WOLVES:

“BUT wait, God loves those wolves who misrepresent Him too and we must love them!”

REPLY:

Wolves have deliberately made themselves, using their own free will, the very enemies of Christ (Philippians 3:18-19) and must be marked (specifically identified) so those Jesus died to save can be kept safe in His truth (Romans 16:17-18). That’s love! Those who don’t warn are walking in hate, in lock step with the enemy of all souls who has sent forth those wolves! WHOSE side are you really on? After all, those who cover far – do not expose – Satan’s “ministers” are aiding and abetting the arch enemy of Christ! (2 Corinthians 11:12-15) Love? Love can only be understand by studying and knowing the WHOLE counsel of God who “is love.” (1 John 4:8, 16) We must juxtaposition the biblical truth that we are mandated to “mark them” – the false leaders – as we “earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints” (Romans 16:17-18)…. And that’s because the Good Shepherd, “the Great Shepherd of the sheep” who bled on the cross to save His children, does not desire any to be lost – Rev 3:11; Heb 13:20.

QUESTION ASKED:

“I’m concerned how long it took your attention from God to hand cut these pictures (a collage of “many false prophets) out.”

REPLY:

Someone else out there, perhaps a good watchman for Jesus, made that graphic. I wonder if you have concern for the protection of the sheep of Christ’s pasture? Read the extreme, severe vigor of the LORD’s apostle Paul in Acts 20:20-32 and then let’s talk about having your eyes on Jesus – which includes earnestly contending for the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 3). You have to decide which side you are really one friend. Think about it: If there weren’t so very “many false prophets,” you know, the ones you’ve been listening to, why then is this the first time you’ve encountered this biblical message of truth?

Laboring Fervently for Christ’s Body [podcast]

“Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.” Colossians 4:12-13

One source notes:

“Epaphras’ prayer is a powerful New Testament model of intercession found in Colossians 4:12. As the founder of the church in Colossae, Epaphras is described by the Apostle Paul as ‘wrestling’ or ‘laboring earnestly’ in prayer so that his congregation would stand mature, firm, and fully assured in the will of God.”

Jesus Heals the Paralytic Man who was Dropped Down to Him from the Roof

Mark 2

“1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.

2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.

3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.

4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?

8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.

12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.” Mark 2:1-12

Abiding Under the Shadow of the Almighty [podcast]

“O Lord, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke. 16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: Jeremiah 15:15-16

Dwelling “in the secret place of the most High”

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” Psalms 91:1-2

“In the secret place of the Most High – Spoken probably in reference to the Holy of holies. He who enters legitimately there shall be covered with the cloud of God’s glory – the protection of the all-sufficient God. This was the privilege of the high priest only, under the law: but under the new covenant all believers in Christ have boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus; and those who thus enter are safe from every evil.” Adam Clarke

“[Psalms] 91:1, 2 Jesus is the One who in a preeminent way dwelt in the secret place of the Most High, and abode under the shadow of the Almighty. There never was a life like His. He lived in absolute, unbroken fellowship with God, His Father. He never acted in self-will but did only those things that the Father directed. Though He was perfect God, He was also perfect Man, and He lived His life on earth in utter and complete dependence on God. Without equivocation He could look up and say, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in Him I will trust.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

Dwelling in the Secret Place of the Most High [podcast]

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3 Prayer communion is inseparably connected with knowing God (John 17:3). Knowing the Father and the Son is the whole purpose for which He made you. “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.” 1 John 1:3-4 Beloved of […]

The Warnings of the Book of Jude [podcast]

“Reformed Theology“, is just a fancy way of saying ‘We know better than Paul, the old testament prophets, even David! And the very apostles who walked with Jesus must be unlearned men or liars.’ Nay, I will not say such a thing of my LORD and Saviour, Christ Jesus. Let God be true, and >every< man a liar.” Jonathan Crane

It’s “ungodly men” who mislead the gullible with the eternal security heresy, and the heretical doctrines and system of calvinism. Jude warned us of just that, as did the prophets (Jude 3-4; Jeremiah 23:17, etc.). Then Jude reminds us of God’s judgment upon His own covenant people who were saved out of Egypt (the world) and then “afterward destroyed.” Then Jude reminds us that God judged the angels, a third of them, who rebelled against Him and were terminated from His domain, Heaven (Isaiah 14:12-15; Luke 10:18; Revelation 12:7-12, etc.).

“For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” Jude 4-6

The Book of Jude

Greeting

1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:

2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

Judgment on False Teachers

3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

A Call to Persevere

17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

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

22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:

23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Doxology

24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Grace vs Holiness [podcast]

“The horrible travesty we have in America today is Christianity without holiness.” A.W. Tozer Grace and holiness come only from God. The LORD is Holy and He extends salvation by grace to repentant, believing sinners at the moment of conversion. Grave vs Holiness: WHY is one of these two so overwhelmingly overemphasized by today’s pastors and self-appointed “grace teachers,” when the other is prioritized by God as is demonstrated by the number of times it appears in Holy Scripture?
