People seeking God, hungering for what is missing in their lives – JESUS – is a blessing. Yet wolves who capitalize upon, who exploit, and make merchandise of these people is diabolical~! (Matthew 21:15-17; 2 Peter 2:1-3, etc.).
BREAKING: Like it or not, you’ve been played for the fool…. if you bought this as a revival from God…. more proof. Does the Almighty now condone sodomy? Has He changed?
SICKENING STUPIDITY: Delusionally, you still have gullible prey, God-less rebels saying things like “But it’s real, God is in Asbury.”
Fake, staged “revivals” are a reality. Asbury is just the latest. Let us learn to discern (1 Thessalonians 5:21; 1 John 4:1).
Should this “abomination” of “effeminate” men be accepted or exposed?
REPLY: He’s everywhere in HIS universe….but that doesn’t means He’s blessing sin, which He will not coexist with and condemns (Psalms 5:4; Habakkuk 1:13). Flashpoint: God is “Holy, holy, holy.” (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8) Explain this video below … Openly sodomite at Asbury – *IF YOU STILL BELIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS LEADING YOU TO DEFEND THIS DELUSION, YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO REPENT BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. [youtube video of Elijah Drake, openly sodomite, approved and not rebuke at asbury]
“There is a big difference in ‘all HAVE sinned’ and those who continue to practice sin while claiming to be a preacher or evangelist! Seriously, I am so sick of that mantra being used (by wolf defenders) anytime a watchman does their job and warns!” Gloria Marshall Sykes
When there is sin in the camp, and no repentance nor call to repent, such a place, an assembly, an organization, a people, cannot possibly have the blessing of God who is Holy. Instead of having God’s blessing, they are “accursed.”
“And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.” Joshua 6:18
Romans 1 details the final stages of apostasy of any nation and how the acceptance of homosexuality is the sign of a people who’ve been sent “strong delusion”, who’ve been turned over by God for having “pleasure in them that do them” (the sin, the sodomy), instead of naming it as sin and calling them to repent (Romans 1:32).
“A true Holy Spirit revival does not bring false religions and movements together in unity; neither does it make people who are living a sinful lifestyle feel comfortable and at peace without full Biblical repentance. If it does, it’s a counterfeit. … We are ripe for the greatest deception of all as the one world church is developing preparing for the arrival of the anti-Christ! We will soon witness a deeper display of power; but it will be a counterfeit! The true Christ is coming sooner than you think!” Steven Harmantas
More clear evidence that Asbury is not of God:
“Is the emphasis coming out of Asbury Jesus or the Holy Spirit? Are people talking more about the Holy Spirit or Jesus? The role of the Holy Spirit is to point people to Jesus. From the personal videos and interviews I’ve seen so far it’s all about the Holy Spirit. This concerns me.” Hodos Living
Exactly… IF the Holy Spirit were truly working there, and He’s not, JESUS would be being glorified. See John 16:13-14. WHO did Jesus say the Holy Spirit, when He’s truly working, is exalting?
“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:” John 15:26
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.” John 16:13-14
“I felt several months ago the Lord was telling me to warn of a counterfeit “revival” that would center upon the Holy Spirit rather than Christ. I have stated this publicly many times on my live Bible studies I do here on Facebook. I did not think it would come this soon! Any true revival will be centered upon Christ and His Finished Work…it will be a call to the church to come back to her Foundation!” Karen Hartnett
Jesus commanded His people to know/discern people and leaders “by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:16, 20)
The current fake “revival” has nothing to do with the Holy Spirit…. same thing we see in the NAR and WOF cults right? It’s 100% self-serving and not about seeking, knowing, loving, worshipping, and obeying Jesus Christ. They are not abiding in Christ and therefore the fruit of the Spirit is not being produced in them. Read John 15 and Galatians 5:22-23.
“Philippians 2:3-11 is true revival. Who should be exalted: JESUS – that is the will of God. (Vv. 9-11) I am of the opinion now that most theological seminaries are in actuality white-washed cemeteries from the shear lack of Biblical knowledge and understanding of the ways of the God they proclaim to serve.” Jon Crane

The NAR and WOF cults are not in Christ at all…. if they were the fruit of the Spirit would confirm such.
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“Why can’t you all just be excited that people are coming together to praise the Lord.”
REPLY:
Well WHO is being worshipped???? God’s Word is no where to be found and openly being violated…. so how can it be the LORD who is being glorified?
Asbury is a false “revival” and every Bible believer sees it. Notice when the young people speak of Asbury, they never mention the WORD of God and love to use God’s name in vain by saying it’s an “experience with the Holy Spirit” while it contradicts the WORD of God. There is no teaching or preaching of God’s Word at asbury which alone reveals it’s false.
“True revival begins with attention to Scripture. Examples are Nehemiah, Uriah, the Day of Pentecost, etc. It is the application of God’s Word to our lives that leads to revival.” Cliff Denney
You cannot get rid of the darkness of sin in your life unless you hear and obey the Word of God which begins with the necessity, the divine command to “REPENT.”
“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130
Concerning how these staged fake “revivals” attempt to make celebrities out of their prey, instead of servants of Christ, Khrista Nelson writes:
“When the Holy Spirit is present, it causes one to preach Gods word with BOLDNESS! I don’t see any fluff after people were filled with the Spirit in the Bible. It’s interesting that the preaching the Holy Spirit caused in the Bible caused those men to be imprisoned and killed!!! Today, a documentary gets created and it’s all over the news station. Everyone LOVES it! Even those hearing it that are under a false gospel. What does that tell you?”
THAT WAS FAST hmmmmmm…. They created a video promoting the Asbury “revival” using a bunch of empty, gullible students. So that’s fast ….like as in, this is all scripted, planned, staged to deceive. Beware! … Now the promotional videos are coming out. Remember these are just gullible kids…. and any of us who have been to Bible college know fully well that it just doesn’t get any more shallow than Bible college students who are open to anything that comes in the name of the LORD. They speak of “more of God’s Spirit”, again NO mention of the written Word much less astute attention given to it.
The promoting of this “revival” should make us wonder why a revival God is doing needs to be promoted so vastly. And it was being promoted immediately after it started. hmmmm Of this, sister Khrista Nelson writes:
“What was also fast is the labeling it a revival the day some students decided to hang back and extend a chapel service. Like within hours it was out that there was a revival happening. Weird! Also, WHY has nobody (that I have seen) from Asbury or in any of these testimonies mentioned anything about the upcoming planned collegiated day of prayer that was planned and to be hosted AT Asbury about REVIVAL! Like, isn’t that relevant? It’s like nobody wants to mention it… Except the people who are skeptical.”
In my estimation this is a completely planned, contrived, staged, fake “revival” and those who hung back were very likely paid to do so.
Could it be that fake “revivals” are for lazy people who refuse to study God’s Word for themselves and walk with Him?
The written Word of God reigns supreme in Christ’s kingdom. Anyone not stringently studying, meditating upon, and walking out the words of God, the Bible, is not a disciple of Jesus. With the psalmist, the true follower of Jesus declared:
“Thy WORD is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalms 119:105
It doesn’t matter who YOU think God is, SINNER. He can only be known by WHO HE says HE is in HIS Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live (have eternal life) by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4
Let me pause here to say what a blessing it is to see so many of Christ’s authentic disciples boldly rise up with HIS Word and “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” (Jude 3)
“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” 3 John 4
God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
Romans 1
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
We see all around us today professing Christians who “have pleasure” (accept, tolerate) in those things which God calls sin. In doing this, in not speaking the truth which when obeyed, makes men free, they have sided with evil and against the God they falsey claim to serve. In Joshua 6 and 7 we see the story of Israel being defeated at a town named Ai due to the sin of one man, Achan. Until that sin was dealt with, God’s people were going to suffer defeat. See also 1 Corinthians 5 for the importance of keeping all sin out of the campt – and that means not accepting anything that God calls sin in His Word, such as sodomy, homosexuality, fornication.
Lawrence Brown writes: “When I brought this guy (Asbury student Elijah Drake pictured above) up to Michael Brown, he said he spoke to leadership at Asbury and said the homosexuals at Asbury are celibate who admit that it is sinful. He’s clearly NOT calling it sinful. What lies. Michael Brown said I was slanderous and in sin. Yes and there’s many effeminates around today.”
MY REPLY TO LAWRENCE:
Yes brother even “effeminate” men are going to hell 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. It’s a perversion of HIs creation, creative design and order.
The unchanging God will not bless any people, any camp that retains, and in this case, celebrates that which He calls sin – His wrath is revealed from heaven against them! (Romans 1:18)
“Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff. 12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.” Joshua 7:11-12
Jesus makes it clear that anything with a cursed root cannot possibly bear good fruit.
“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.” Matthew 12:33
These facts seem to make it even more obvious that this “revival” is staged by evil doers who are the architechs of the prophesied one world religion.
ASBURY IS THE OCCASION THAT IS CAUSING US TO SEE WHO IS THE LORD’S AND WHO THE COUNTFEITS ARE. WE are seeing in living color, the separation of the wheat and the tares, the disciples true to Christ and the rebels. Those who adhere to the Word of God are His – and all others are rebels and as sure for hell as if they were already there (John 8:47; Proverbs 13:13; Isaiah 5:24).
Let me add that it’s shocking to see the moral coward men who are fighting fiercely to defend sin and satan, all while claiming to be saved and telling you they’re going to pray for you. Talk about delusional! God has turned them over to “strong delusion” and that’s why they believe the lies instead of the truth, Damnation is coming. See 2 Thessalonians 2.
What is the difference between the true and the false Christians? WHO is “of God” and WHO is “NOT of God”? Jesus told us, did He not? Read this carefully:
“He that is OF GOD heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are NOT OF GOD.” John 8:47
Stacy Strother writes:
“Yessir—the time will come, soon to AMERICA, as we see, and seems to have been happening in other countries for years, that men will not “endure/put up with sound doctrine,” they will become nauseated from the true preacher of the holy Word of God. They will then offer us up to the town leaders to be jailed and worse, possibly executed.
This persecution will come much from out of the “Christian,” community!
Let there be no mistake about it, our pulpits are filled with shallow minded, ecumenical preachers who have bought into the lie of Universalism.
There will be no mercy for the true preachers.
However, God will be with us!
Our heavenly reward will be worth it!
Blessings!”
“Prove (test) all things; hold fast that which is good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:21
Every true born again, abiding believer desires more of God in their life. John the Baptist cried out:
“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30
The LORD died to forgive, to save all sinners – On that cross where He shed His precious blood, Jesus paid the full and only price for all sins (John 19:30; 1 Timothy 1:15; 2:4-6; 1 John 2:1-2, etc.). Yet He requires that the sinner repent. There is no alternative. There is no shortcut and anyone claiming to be serving Christ and not preaching repentance is 100% preaching “another gospel” and is “accursed” and absolutely a diabolical wolf (Galatians 1:6-9). You must you admit you have sinned against God, are 100% guilty, and fall upon His saving mercy at the cross of the LORD Jesus Christ and He will wash away all your sins in the precious blood of Jesus. | TIMES OF REFRESHING FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD!
Real REVIVING, in contrast with Satan’s counterfeits, brings the resurrection life of Christ! (2 Corinthians 4:10-12) The daily cross, the death and burial of the disciple guarantees the divine resurrection, the raising up of God! Reviving only happens when we repent afresh – re-turn to the LORD – lay down our lives, deny/die to self, take up the cross, and follow Jesus (not men or their staged “revivals”).
“I can’t even stand the word ‘revival’. It’s so fake and man-made , they slap a label on it ‘revival’ and nowadays they have social media to spread the news about their ‘revival ‘ instead of only banners with revival on it.” Jeannette
The word does not even appear in the Word, the notion of “revival” has been grossly misused for fleshly agendas for at least decades if not more.
“Revive” appears 7 times in the Bible. The word “revival” appears no where in God’s Word and it seems to be a concept sinful men in ministry have utilized to exploit people. That is, such as when they plan a “revival meeting.” Yet the cross is “daily” and Jesus promises to raise up anyone who dies to the self-life so He reigns in their life (Luke 9:23-24; John 12:23-25; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; Colossians 3:3, etc.).
“Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?” Psalms 85:6
“Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.” Psalms 138:7
“For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.” Isaiah 57:15
THE POWER OF JESUS THAT WORKETH IN US: RAISED UP IN THE POWER OF CHRIST
Ask Him and when you do, know that God is able to do far above anything you ask of Him!
“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,” Ephesians 3:20
Seems to me that the lukewarm (who shall be spued) love endless, mind numbing “praise and worship” sessions and yet don’t even study the Word of God daily, the King James Bible. Do they roll up their sleeves, evangelize, feed the poor, minister to others?
Is Asbury from God ?
“As much as you want to believe this revival is read, Todd Tomasella is correct. Unlike Todd I AM unwilling to be engaged in a debate but I do urge you to simply look at the origin of this faux ‘revival’ (Lucifer is their father figure).” Tye
Firstly, let it be soundly established in our minds and hearts, that a revival is not coming – a falling away is already here. This was prophetically foretold to us.
Note the words of Holy Scripture closely…. “A Falling Away First”, not a revival, will precede the Return of Christ.
“Let no man deceive you by any means (including by means of fake “revivals”): for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away FIRST, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition…” 2 Thessalonians 2:3
More on this in a moment.
Asbury is NOT a revival of God – It’s the beginning of the final culmination of apostasy, a manifestation of a “FAMINE” induced by generations of false leadership! For false the epidemic of leadership, see Isaiah 9:16; Jeremiah 12:10; 23; Ezekiel 34; Matthew 23; 2 Peter 2; Jude.
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:” Amos 8:11
Destruction follows:
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law (Word) of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6
WHERE and WHEN there’s no intense and diligent studying of God’s written Word, it’s 100% of the time apostasy with no exception!
“At Asbury, there’s no talk of hell, repentance, sin, dying to self, and taking up your cross daily. There is no mention of ‘Ye must be born again’, nor is there any communication of separation, and not loving the world… just a sugar coated ear-tickling hippie false gospel being preached that the world loves.” C.T.
“They have no discernment. They have fear in their hearts and lack faith in Jesus, so they jump on whatever Christian bandwagon comes next. To me its a sign of desperation.” Kat
“The truth is what they do not like. They have itching ears. They are offended at the Word of God. Jesus said through Paul that they will not endure sound doctrine. They believe the lie, rather than the truth. It is Jesus they hate that is in you. Jesus said my doctrine is not of this world.” Darlene
“Unfortunately, too many people, Christians are guided by their emotions instead of the Word of God. Very few people actually read and take time to study the Word!” Angeli
“Sickening. Not the revival but religious folks mad at college kids praying and not clubbing. Get a life. Do something for Jesus instead of talking about people.”
REPLY:
Sounds like some demons manifesting here….. How does what you said here change the reality of this “revival” – what it is and what it is not? …. how does it prove biblically that this Asbury “revival” is authentically from God? So, you are saying that switching from one delusion (bar hopping) to spiritual delusionment/fornication is a good thing? Are you genuinely born again? The burden of proof is upon you to demonstrate that God’s Word is at the forefront and HE is being honored by those who believe and preach and teach HIS Word. Otherwise, the truth is that this is a fake, a false “revival.”
The following response was given to a man who was insisting that a sister in Christ “blasphemed the Holy Ghost” by discerning and exposing the Asbury delusion.
“With no fruit to prove it’s authentic and much fruit to prove it’s false, you conflate asbury with the Holy Spirit which means you’ve taken the name of the LORD your God in vain by putting His holy name on a ploy of satan. This is just how delusional you are. You’ve unfortunately not been a man of truth and so God has turned you over to “strong delusion” so that you will believe the lie, and you do… and you will be damned if you don’t repent.”
2 Thess 2
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; …
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them STRONG DELUSION, that they should believe a lie:
2Th 2:12 That they all might be DAMNED who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
No Bible No God – If it doesn’t honor His Word, it doesn’t honor Him!
“I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” Psalms 138:2
God’s written Word is God’s truth and God’s grace or love never ever negates His truth! HOW could anyone at Asbury possibly be repenting, being saved, born again, and sanctified when the Word of God is not even being presented?
“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17
Read those words of Jesus again. If the truth, God’s Word, is being intentionally hidden from the people at Asbury, and it is, HOW could there possibly be true repentance and sanctification transpiring? Impossible!
“Absolutely and I wonder if there are actually curses being placed on people or a Kundalini spirit being unleashed. People could be worse off for attending. Nothing would surprise me.” Jennifer Leigh
“FOX NEWS interviewed some of the students who had attended. They only spoke of feeling peace and love and kept referring to the “God of unity”…” Melissa
“This (Asbury ‘revival’) is worse than shallow emotionalism. There is a powerful spirit present and it is not the Holy Spirit. These people are being deceived into submitting to an antichrist spirit – Paving the way for the forthcoming one world religion of love, peace and unity (not grounded upon and centered around Scripture or the Jesus Christ of the Bible).” Renee Courtland
“Way too many believers take the words of men and let their emotions and personal wishes take precedent over what God’s word says these days. Discernment is not desired, sought out or prayed for either.” Barbara
Lynne Parker writes:
“The ‘church’ has been primed for years to fall into this trap. Dominion theology rode into the church like a Trojan horse. The teaching of a great end time revival (which is opposite of the Word in which there will be a great falling away) coupled with a growing ecumenical ‘love fest.’ As well the Word has been oh so subtly downplayed for years. But Without the preaching of God’s Word what Jesus are we worshipping? individuals that are holding back or expressing concerns as they obey God’s Word to try ‘scrutinize’ the spirit behind it are met with angry scowls and outright disgust. Perhaps God is just pealing the onion so to speak. This is what happens when you do not have a love for the truth. I’m not professing myself to know it all – I’m sure I could use correction in interpretations on certain things but I’m close enough to God to know He is not playing a game. And yes, any professing Christian wants young people to come to Christ – but the right one of Scripture not ‘another Jesus’.”
I agree with both of our sisters:
“Most will probably go home and when the honeymoon is soon over (the emotional experience) they’ll forget the whole thing. Must have the Word of God, at least, if nothing else, hand out Bibles and provide Scriptural discipleship, follow ups etc. They need discipleship after conversion. Personally I doubt there’s true repentance going on at Asbury, in my opinion.” Teri J Willis

REVIVAL MESSAGE FROM TERRY R. GREEN:
“In 1999, I was at a conference with Bro. Don Brankel and we spent much time fellowshipping. After the service we were eating and talking and he told me about preaching at a large church that had been involved in certain “ revivals.” At the altar time he said there was all kinds of stuff going on. At one point while standing by the pastor in the Altar area, a man was crawling by them on all fours barking like a dog. The pastor exclaimed to Bro. Brankel, “ Wow! I wonder what he’s got?”

REPLY:
All these contrived “revivals” are false and people are starting to see it for what it is…. yet many also still love their darkness rather than getting honest and loving the light of truth (John 3:19-21; 2 Thessalonians 2).
“Isn’t it funny how this coincides with the one world religion opening the other day? …. Stay strong my brother we were going to witness a lot of this in the end of days.” R.
Since when does the world and known false ministries, the enemies of God, promote the Gospel? They don’t. What does that tell us of the Asbury “revival” which is being promoted by numerous ungodly outlets and known false prophets? (Fox Nes CBN, etc.) Consider these words of Jesus:
“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ...” John 14:17
“If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.” John 15:19
The world is the opposing kingdom of satan and as such hates the true children and work of God.
“I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” John 17:14
In light of this truth, the love being showed by the world for this Asbury “revival”, should raise the eyebrow of the discerning.
Speaking of Discernment…. the people who’ve attached their emotions to something, usually react violently when that something is questioned or exposed. Have you noticed?
CAN YOU HELP ME FIGURE THS OUT?
IF Jesus didn’t want His people to “know” (Gr. discern) people, namely “false prophets”… “by their fruits”, WHY O WHY did He say this:
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall KNOW (discern) them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? … 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:15-16,20
Many reading these words are victims of the fleshly revival schemes of the past. There are many involved, especially the young people, who simply want more of God in their lives, who are innocent. They are being misled by their handlers, those on the ground in Asbury, and those who operated from afar. Many are taken in by this fanfare of these staged “revival” who don’t yet know these are false and that they are being played. The evil ones are satan’s minions who planned and are perpetrating this fraud on the people which has an evil agenda behind it. God is going to judge every one of these animals – their “DAMNATION (in hell) slumbereth not.” (2 Peter 2) It’s more than abundantly clear that the elders at Asbury are apostate, antichrist wolves who have deliberately refused to establish sound doctrine and biblical order (Acts 15; 20; 1 Timothy; 2 Timothy; Titus, etc.).
“For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:” Titus 1:5
Those being misled have no idea that those which have perpetrated this, who are putting God’s name on it, are using them to an evil end, for their own self-serving agenda. And it’s Satan who is controlling those handlers. The enemy’s kingdom is one with great organizational structure with the agenda “to steal, to kill, and to destroy.” (Ephesians 6:10-18; John 10:10)
Let us be nourished up in the words of our God beloved saints. Our KING – JESUS – is coming (John 5:39-40; 1 Timothy 4:6; 2 Timothy 2:15, etc.). Beloved of God, let us get into God’s Word as if our life, our eternal souls depend on it – because they do! | Philippians Narrated
FACT: In every city in America there is praise and worship gatherings weekly. WHAT makes Asbury special? Nothing, other than the contrived fanfair surrounding it – which is all planned and many a biblically-illiterate dupe bought the package. Make no mistake: There’s an evil agenda behind it – whether you know what that agenda is or not.
There has to be a nefarious agenda behind Asbury because persecution comes from the world when there’s true revival, not praise. Remember all the persecution of the apostles and early church in Acts when God moved and saved souls and did miracles?

Anyone who thinks Asbury is an authentic “revival” is biblically illiterate or disobedient and in need of shutting out the noise and getting lost in true repentance, in the King James Bible, and holy prayer communion with the LORD – before it’s too late (Proverbs 18:1; Isaiah 66:2; Matthew 6:6; 2 Timothy 2:15).
Many of us have been to Bible colleges. The susceptibility abounds, The vulnerability of the young seeking souls is beyond legit. It’s an open target for Satan who breathes his evil, “strange fire” into the very dwelling place which is supposed to be the place of the worship of the LORD (Leviticus 10:1-2; Psalms 74:4-7, etc.).
Asbury is not a true revival. It appeals to the flesh, to the feelings, the emotions of the gullible instead of the hearts of men via the Word of God.
“I believe Christian’s have greatly underestimated the power of Satans deception. He can mimic or counterfeit the Holy Spirit. Our only defense as these last days grow more intense is the Word of God. Regretfully the church overall has been conditioned to expect a feeling of God’s nearness or expect some manifestation of God – it has become subjective instead of objective truth of God’s Word. This condition prepares people to accept lying signs and wonders. It is a dangerous thing to lean upon one’s own understanding and discern by how they feel.” Lynne Parker
Start, orchestrate something, nearly anything, and put God’s name on it by calling it a “revival”, promoting it, and bam it explodes – because it costs men nothing of themselves, it does not call them to come and to die, to lay down their lives and follow Jesus. This gullibility is due largely to youth, who are being exploited by the evil powers under Satan’s control (Ephesians 2:1-3). It is all planned, all to usher in the antichrist, the one world religion (Revelation 13-14).
The resume of godless people professing to be serving the LORD listed in detail in 2 Timothy 3 has never come to life like we’re seeing it manifest now.
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, … 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;” 2 Timothy 3:1-7
Lynne Parker writes:
“Let us dear saints remember that absolutely the only defense we have to discern this revival is God’s Word. The psalmist writes that he hates every evil way and since the Holy Spirit is defined as the Spirit of Truth he will only anoint truth and lead into truth. We cannot go by our feelings or subjective experiences but only the Word of God – even though many people are involved, no matter how many ministers are going that direction. Certainly we desire individuals to repent from the works of darkness so let’s be clear: it is right to worship, right to pray, but all is founded upon Gods Word. Even the great psalmist of Israel, king David, at one point tried to carry the ark of the covenant on a new cart and it cost somebody their soul.  we cannot approach God, except only on his terms, and that is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ out of an obedient heart.  consider please, and these facts can be proven. If you search them out, this school teaches aberrant theology they teach contemplative prayer practice, the lecto divina and do the Eucharist. All of these things are of the darkness. Now it seems to me that if this revival was indeed Holy Spirit led, the first thing up would be repentance of these practices and these abherant teachings would be repudiated publicly. Wow that would be great. Then revival would truly break out because it would be founded upon the blood of Jesus Christ alone consider as well that there are warnings of “another” Jesus. Christian unity can only be found on correct Christology, which is Calvary’s cross. We cannot worship in spirit and in truth with so much a mixture. This cannot be God as wonderful as it seems, and it is good that people have spiritual hunger, but they need the preaching of the cross. That we all be on the same page of one mind and one spirit in the unity of the faith. This is a huge deception to base whether or not this is of the leading of the Holy Spirit by our feelings or how many people are there. As well there are warnings in the Bible that there will be, a great falling away from the faith. This does not mean people will stop being religious or going to church. It means they will go after every wind of doctrine and leave Calvary. Please consider these sayings it’s Bible and it’s very frightening to watch happen. Let me say it again, true Christian unity is only through individuals who believe in the doctrine of the cross. This is why it’s through the foolishness of preaching that men are saved . awake and be sober. It’s almost over.”
To the righteous, this is merely a wake up call. The reality of Revelation 12:12 is at hand. Satan is coming down with great wrath, great deception in that which he is using the name of the LORD to promulgate. It’s all in vain, having a mere outward “form of godliness,” being led and filled with those who love self, who worship the god of self and therefore their emotions, pleasure,, just as did and does their father the devil (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:13-19; Luke 10:18; Revelation 12:7-19).
“Those who do not receive the truth, the warning about Satan’s work via these ‘revivals’, have an antichrist spirit. No love for the truth.” Jeannette
ALL who do not receive the love of the truth of God are being sent by Him “strong delusion” so that they receive the lies, are deceived, and will be damned.
“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition … 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2
Read 2 Thessalonians 2 each morning this week. Pray. 2 Thessalonians 2.
At Asbury, God’s Word is not being honored. Instead the false leaders are appealing to the emotions of their prey. It’s not based on divine truth. Bibles aren’t even being opened because God’s Word is not even being opened and communicated from the platform! On this point alone, we know this is all false. “The sword of the Spirit” is THE WORD OF GOD and so just WHAT spirit is active when God’s Word is not center stage? DEMONS! (Ephesians 6:17) WHERE the original Gospel of Christ on recrord, the Bible, the written Word, is not honored, it’s “another gospel”, and “another Jesus”, and “another spirit” (demons). See 2 Corinthians 11:2-5; 13-15; Galatians 1:6-9).
WHEN God is being glorified, HIS written Word is center stage. Otherwise He is not being glorified. Asbury seldom if ever even opens God’s Word, much less reading it, and when they do, it’s a fake “bible.” Apostasy!
If you are truly born again, please be exhorted to repent afresh and begin obeying the Word of God instead of worshipping at the altar of self.
“But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.” Matthew 16:23
So many whiners defending Asbury, insisting that all of us who are asking simple questions are just cessationist, pharisees, and/or jealous. Interestingly though, I’ve personally asked dozens of them to produce the plain, clear evidence that the Word of God is being preached as Asbury. Not one of them has even attempted to present proof. Interesting. What does Proverbs 18:13 tell us?
The Plain Biblical Pattern for the Gathering of God’s People is Anchored in His Written Word.
So when we see a gathering where the Bible is not opening and being read from, extensively, we know that that gather is run by false prophets – with NO exception, ever!
“And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose … So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.” Nehemiah 8:4, 8
“And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live (have divine life) by bread alone, but by every word of God. … And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read (WHAT did Jesus open and read?). 17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:4; 16-19
“And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures … And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed …” Acts 17:2; 10-11
FYI: The concern of many is what agenda is behind this “revival”. Thanking God for any of the good things God may be doing and yet we KNOW, as in many things, the Roman Catholic cult is the rat behind it. They are serving their murder-Jesus-again, blood-drinking cannibalistic Eucharist every day at Asbury. Also, wherever God is honored in reality, not in lip service, His WORD is front and center, not set aside, not ignored. Praise and worship in never seen as the dominant element of New Testament assembly worship. In fact, of the 4 elements of worship listed in Acts 2:42, it’s not mentioned as one of them. hmmmmm The Holy Scriptures have always been the grounding element in worshipping the LORD when His people met. In comparison, can anyone find a bunch of praise and worship sessions in the gatherings of the saints on record in Scripture? Not there.
When men speak for God, they speak HIS oracles, His words, the words of Holy Writ we have recorded in the Bible, the most important, power, and infuential book, ever, forever. When elders do not upholdy God’s written Word they demonstrate openly not to be HIS but rather in rebellion against Him!
“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles (written words) of God…” 1 Peter 4:10
Notice how when God’s Word is center stage, Christ is magnified and people get saved?
“And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine (the WORD) and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” Acts 2:42
Does God’s Word inform us that “praise and worship”, singing songs, OR the WORD of God accomplish His will?
“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11
Alan Ray writes:
“I looked into Asbury. They’re going to bring in Rick Warren on Feb 23rd. I saw a video having WOF heretic Francis Chan all excited about Warren going to Asbury. It could have been suspected that this ‘experience’ would be directed by heretics, and likely by NAR and WOF in particular, because they like to lean on ‘supernatural’ charlatans. This Methodist church, (according to what I read) celebrates the ‘Eucharist’ daily. I went to a UMC a few years back, and found the pastor saying he was “very ecumenical”. He confessed having gone to Rome, and openly fellowships in that hogpen. So I’m not at all surprised Asbury is joining together with ecumenical mega-heretic Rick Warren and Francis Chan.”

TYPICAL MESSAGE RECEIVED BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT LIKE WHAT GOD’S WORD SAYS:
“But you’re sowing discord among the brothers and God hates that!”
REPLY:
So please explain how simply communicating GOD’s Word itself equals sowing discord among the brethren Waiting. What does the LORD command His people to do in Romans 16:!7-18 and Jude 3?
Was the apostle Paul sowing discord among the brethren when he openly, publicly rebuked the apostle Peter for his error in Galatians 2? Or, was Paul obeying God by defending the faith of the Gospel against those who would pervert it? (Romans 16:17-18; Ephesians 5:11; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 3-4)
HAVE you noticed all the people coming out of the woodworks, by the droves, to defend something they emotionally attached themselves to (instead of living by biblical truth)? Yet, you never ever heard from them when for years many of us have discussed, posted, communicated BIBLE truth. Why? Simple: the have no desire for the Word of God, to truly know the LORD. They don’t seek HIs face, otherwise they’d be doctrinally astute, full of the WORD of God.
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly (abundantly) 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
ALL who are not daily, diligently in God’s Word have already backslidden (2 Timothy 2:15).
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere (pure) milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2
When we get into God’s Word daily, it gets into us and it circumcizes our hearts – cutting away the sensual, the emotional – and grounds us on the bedrock of divine truth! It’s the “sword of the Spirit” … “quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit.” (Ephesians 6:17; Hebrews 4:12)
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12
ANY person defending or supporting the enemy of Christ will be judged into hell with that false prophet/movement/ministry (2 John 10-11). You’ve been warned.

It’s quite interesting how people who do not like the truth will judge you WHILE they are condemning you for supposedly wrongly judging. They could easily agree to disagree but they choose rather to attack. Doesn’t both me, just saying. Yet they get highly offended that you don’t buy into the delusion they are ensnared by (Provers 23:23).
REPLY:
So let me get this straight, YOU are pretending to be godly here (as you claim I was) and judging me… and of course, that’s ok, right? all while judging me for defending the faith which is the command of God? Jude 3 hmmmm
“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.” Jude 3
Let’s stick to the topic. Do you realize that in Matthew 7:1-5 Jesus is talking about hypocritical judgment and not all judgment? “JUDGE righteous judgment” says the LORD John 7:24…
So please give us all the Bible verses that instruct Christ’s true disciples to sit back and let other of His sheep, bought by His precious blood, be deceived by the “many false prophets” He so often warned us about…. waiting. Any person who doesn’t now see the evil of their way, the hatred they are displaying before the very Savior they claim saved them, is in deep darkness and in need of repentance before it’s too late.
If you are going to judge and defend, please tell and/or show us all about the cardinal Biblical doctrines of the Christian faith being preached at Asbury please. We’re all waiting because none of those who are foolishly defending this delusion have produced an iota of evidence for what they are falsely claiming. All due to not loving the truth of God and attaching their emotions to something instead of being true disciples who love God’s truth. God is sending them “strong delusion” and they will be “deceived” and “damned” to hell (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).
“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” Revelation 3:11
GOD’S WORD FORETELLS A GREAT FALLING AWAY AND NOT A GREAT REVIVAL IN THE LAST DAYS. READ 2 THESSALONIANS 2; 1 TIMOTHY 4:1-2; 2 TIMOTHY 3:12-13; MATTHEW 24:10-14, ETC.
When Jesus warns His followers about “MANY false prophets” who will “deceive MANY,” is the Son of God just being jealous?

The Danger of Bidding Godspeed to the Wicked [podcast]
“I am set for the defence of the gospel.” Philippians 1:17
HAVE you noticed how many people are so diligent to defend mere sinners, mere men and women and movements they like? This they do in the face of God’s Word, rejecting Christ for mere men/women. The divine mandate is to earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints and “MARK” deceivers (Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3). They seem not to truly love Jesus and therefore are more interested in defending mere men than defending the faith of Christ for His glory and the protection of His sheep for whom Jesus died (Philippians 1:17) These flesh defenders seem to have no concern for the millions of people their “Christian” heros are misleading.
“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.” Jude 3
WARNING: Those who bid Godspeed to false leaders will be judged with them! 2 John 10-11. Are you an accessory to the fact? Are you aiding and abetting the enemies of Christ? If so you will be damned with them. Repent now and get into the King James Bible.
“Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.” Proverbs 9:6
This fake “revival” has drawn many an older, ministerial counterfeit out into the open. Many of these men once walked with God and yet didn’t keep under their body and shall soon and foreever, irrevocably be “castaway” from the LORD into the fires of eternal damnation for forsaking the Son of God (1 Corinthians 9:27; 2 Peter 2, etc.). These are the apostates Scripture so often speaks of (2 Peter 2; Jude, etc.). Several men I’ve personally known for many years, who’ve been in ministry for decades, are coming out in defense of this delusion, manifesting their apostasy, their darkness. As the younger prophet fatally found out, never follow anyone except the LORD Himself. He was eaten by a lion which represents the “roaring lion” who is Satan (1 Kings 13; 1 Peter 5:8). Never follow any mere man – namely elders who have departed from the Word itself and Himself! Read Proverbs 3 and 4. Beware.
“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. 9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes (leaders).” Psalms 18:8-9
Any person defending this delusion is living and judging things by their carnal senses and not the Word which proves they are apostate. They did not “endure to the end” and are fallen away (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; Luke 8:13; Hebrews 3:6, 12-15; 10:26-39; Revelation 2-3, etc.).
“Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” James 1:21-25
SMH: We continue to hear delusionals declare that we can’t judge asbury because we are not there in person, present. Is this true or false?… Absolutely false. #1 DOCTRINE must be judged AND it’s all on record that they are not preaching, teaching the Bible. Boom. Case closed. Time to wake up. NO NEED to patronize this delusion by going there. They are on full display. Sorry, but have you ever heard of a video platform called Youtube? “It’s all media”? So you can’t SEE what’s going on video the hundreds of hours of video available? It’s interesting how several people this week who had not themselves gone to KY but yet they swore this was an authentic revival. YET they told me I couldn’t possibly know asbury was true or false unless I went there in person. These people are in deep darkness.
Can’t Discern if Asbury is True or False until Going there in Person? Not.
For those who ingest and obey God’s Word, even our senses can become so attuned and molded by God’s truth, His written Word, that they can “discern good both and evil” by their “senses.” – “even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
“But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” Hebrews 5:14
Those who are Christ’s and mature, seasoned by studying daily, learning, and walking in His Word, are like Paul, able to discern “as absent in body, but present in spirit.” They don’t even have to be present. Read this closely:
“For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,” 1 Corinthians 5:3-4
The Holy Spirit showed Paul that their was sin in the Corinthian church and that they weren’t dealing with it. Read 1 Corinthians 5.
Those who’ve seen how Satan has used his human agents, wolves in sheep’s clothing, over a long period of years, become accustomed to the devices of Satan to mislead God’s people and that’s why we are told not to be “ignorant of his devices.”
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11
“Brother Todd… I want to thank you for exposing this fake revival for what it is. God help us to stay vigilant and remain walking with the full armor of God in discernment always so that we don’t fall prey to Satan’s last day antics. He knows he has a short time left so he’s doing things big now like what you see in Asbury to confuse lukewarm Christians and others who don’t die to self or walk in the Spirit as a way of life. We need to pray without ceasing and stay covered in the blood of Jesus to not allow one small crack in our armor. Only those who die to self daily for the one who died for us, will make it to Heaven in these last days. Let’s pray for each other that we stay strong and thank you for preaching TRUTH as alway brother.” Suzanne
We are witnessing on full display, out in the open for all to see, the separation between the wheat and the tares, the sheep and the goats, the remnant from the counterfeits (Matthew 13 and 25). …. Now that the evidence is laid out to clearly prove the Asbury “revival” is a demonic delusion, ALL who still attempt, in any way, to defend or even more deceitfully, seek to insidiously cover for this enemy operation in Asbury, will expose themselves as tares. They will be rejected as heretics according to the command of God.
THIS IS A COMMAND OF GOD TO YOU – “A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition REJECT; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.” Titus 3:10-11
THIS IS A COMMAND OF GOD TO YOU – “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.” Matthew 7:6
Jesus told us it would be this way as His return neared. amen. Read Luke 21; Matthew 24
ALL these men who defended this asbury fraud should humble themselves before God in repentance (Isaiah 58; Ezekiel 18:30-32; Hosea 10:12, etc.). And IF they truly repent they WILL bring forth fruits to prove it – by coming out publicly and admitting they were dead wrong about the asbury delusion and apologize for anyone they misled and for bidding Godspeed to the enemies of Christ (Matthew 3:7-10). IF they do not come forth publicly, they are to be rejected as unrepentant, hell bound heretics, swine, dogs (Matthew 7:6; Titus 3:10-11).
The silence is telling. They leveled a firestorm to defend this demonic collusion in asbury and now, crickets. Does that seem to be evidence of moral cowardess?
ALL who get saved and then do not continue in the doctrine of Christ – Genesis to Revelation – are hell bound lost souls.
Read this carefully and please share – and notice how ALL who condone, defend, “bid Godspeed” to false leaders, will suffer the same eternal judgment which is hell (2 Peter 2:1-3):
1 John 7-11
“For MANY deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”
It’s interesting that we have people who keep saying things like: “Well, let’s just give it time. I am not there in person so I can’t know for sure.” Nonsense! Here is my reply to one such man:
Can you see a car in a video and know it’s a car or do you have to travel to see that car in person???? Yes or no? YES! Let’s get real…..The point is, there are hundreds of hours of “ministry” at this supposed “revival” and little or no teaching of the Bible…. false revival 100% on that point alone. Period. Let’s stand up like men infused with the holy fear and Word of God…. and stop pandering, stop being spineless, now. It’s 100% FALSE. It’s catholic, it’s pro-homo, pro-sodomite which is pro “abomination” to God (Leviticus 18:22). JUST WHAT more does one need to know it’s false???? Repent and stand up now.
Charismatic, NAR (New Apostolic Reformation), evangelical, Catholic …. apparently it’s all mixed into one actually…. with Rome at the center, Ecumenical one world religion, perfect storm for the antichrist to take his temporary place, but it won’t last because Jesus is going to judge that whore – Revelation 17-18. | The Reign of Christ [podcast]

“John 4:24 “God is a Spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth.” The foundation of Christian worship must be the truth. What’s happening in Asbury (though many are surely sincere) is that there is a mixture of unscriptural practices. This college teaches contemplative prayer for one thing. I saw an advertisement that they also celebrate the Eucharist. If God the Holy Spirit (the spirit of truth) were leading it the first thing up would be the repentance of these false teachings. There is no doubt they are ‘experiencing’ something but we don’t discern through subjective feelings but rather the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12; 5:14). Anyone who disparages the Word of God – seeing it as unnecessary or not final divine authority – is clearly not of God – for He stated that He exalts His Word even above His name. Psalm 119 and 138:2, carefully studied, reveals the eternal importance of God’s Word itself – and it’s through the foolishness of preaching men are saved (1 Corinthians 1:21). The enemy HATES the Word of God and works through the spirit of religion (the harlot) to offer mankind any other alternative- music/worship (and I love it) but it has become the drawing card – this is idolatry in itself. Pure and simple, if Christ and Him crucified is not the focus, the object our love, worship, and heart affection, you will end up worshipping ‘another Jesus’ which the apostle warns us about (2 Corinthians 11:2-5). Contending for the faith is not for cowards. Picking up the cross and following the LORD Jesus of Scripture will be involving fewer it seems going forward.” Lynne

Revelation 17-18. This is 100% proof that anyone who didn’t see this as a fake revival is walking in absolute darkness and in need of truly repenting, going on an extended fast, crying out to God to have mercy upon them, to grant them true repentance, and to break and to strip them (Hosea 10:12; Ezekiel 18:30-32; Jeremiah 17). Beginning In the 1950’s the Jesuits began infiltrating the protestant seminaries and churches under the Vatican’s counter reformation campaign.
Christianity cannot, can never possibly be mixed with the antichrist pagan cult of Roman Catholicism.

“This is a highly dangerous national movement launched at Asbury. They even have a new Hollywood movie to go along with it: Jesus Revolution. Make no mistake this is antichrist and great deception. Yes, the actor that plays Jesus in the apostate show the Chosen. Kelsey Grammer and a number of other Hollywood people. Like The Chosen this is worldly entertainment with a Satanic agenda. Anytime the world supports something supposedly Christian, our radars should go up. We are at the end of days- never was the world more evil and against the true Jesus Christ of the Bible. God’s ways are eternal- they haven’t changed since the beginning of creation. If you don’t hear or don’t recognize the Lord’s voice, that is something to get serious about doing (hit your knees) today. ‘My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

“I too have concerns about this ‘revival.’ I too want young men and women to repent.
‘Spiritual Awakening’ brings a connection with NAR (New Apostolic Reformation witchcraft cult) beliefs and mystical practices.
* Asbury Theological Seminary seems to align with
Progressive Christianity (social justice).
Other concerns that can be found :
1. Contemplative prayer
2. Spiritual Formation- they list as FLEX
3. Eucharist
4. Lectio Divina …. Google
5. A quiet garden for meditation with a Labyrinth is Christianity mixed with mysticism.
Is the gospel of Jesus Christ being preached?
Are they praying that men and women will surrender their lives, repent, and obey?”

Also Rick Warren, retired pastor Saddleback church. Not sure if this should be called Ecumenical, or Interfaith? I think at this point Ecumenical. Everyday, new News 😥 NAR leakers are coming for the 200th anniversary of the 1st Asbury revival , …not sure if Bethal directly, but IHOP , and others with the NAR, New Apostolic Reformation are going ….including Rick Warren, an Ecumenical leader who headed up a group of NAR to go to meet the Pope. 🌹”“
“This is all leading into a one world church. The antichrist church of lies. People following the crowds. They are following that which feels good to the flesh. Read Matthew 24 KJB.” Darlene
It’s fitting that rebels love anything that does not cost them their own life in this world which God requires that they sacrifice in the daily cross. They want the promise but they’re not willing to meet the condition and so they are sitting ducks to run after anything that claims to be a revival. They will travel for many miles and spend thousands of dollars to go try to get a fix, a quick fix, but they won’t spend one minute praying and fasting and seeking God in the Word, in prayer, and fasting.
IF you don’t love, stand on, and obey the truth of God – HIS written Word – you are a godless hell bound rebel. Repent now sinner.
“IF ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But IF ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.” Isaiah 1:19-20
“IF ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT” – Talk is cheap (1 John 3:18). Only those who willingly, obediently repent, and obey God, prove they love and worship Him above all.
What you’ve got is a bunch of gutless quitters who refuse to repent right where they are, deny themselves, take up the cross daily and follow Jesus whereby He will revive and raise them up and propel them into victory. So all you have to do is stage a fake revival and all the gullible come running from far and wide to support and to defend such a catastrophe that is going to bear no fruit for the glory of God. God works by the economy of the cross, which means you die and are buried and He raises you up. That will never change, and anybody walking outside of this cross life is not increased. They have rejected Christ, and that’s why they run to get their fix which only perpetuates them in their delusion.
Defenders of this fraud have provided no biblical proof that this is an authentic revival from God. The earmarks of a biblical revival are not present. When there’s no repentance and the cross there will be no reviving or raising up or resurrection power of God manifesting.
Regrettably, this is just another fake revival that is misleading God’s people by leading them to believe they don’t have to repent and obey God by being daily crucified with Christ (Romans 6). It pretends to give them another way, a shortcut, It doesn’t have the earmarks of being truly of Christ, according to the original Gospel.
The whole covid/death vax scam was a test and as you know, so many gullible people took the bait, hook, line, and sinker. Well Asbury is a test and as you can see by the interaction on my social media pages, many have taken the bait. They are ripe for the antichrist picking. The Vatican is laughing at the stupidity. Beware saints. Be not deceived. Read Revelation afresh this week beloved. Jesus is coming.
Cross-less counterfeits refuse to die – and that’s what this is all about. Counterfeits are easy to play, to deceive. All you have to do is make a false promise to them, to offer them another way, a way around dying to self, right where they are, where God has them. So, they vainly believe they can get a quick fix in some “church” building in another state. And it’s all because wolves are putting a sales job on them to convince them God can’t do His work in their life right where they are on His planet, and so they need to pack up their vehicle and travel to another state. Little do they realize there are no shortcuts to the cross. None. Not one (Galatians 2:20; 5:19-24; Colossians 3:3). You either die the death or you live in sin and die separated from God and go to hell (Romans 6; Hebrews 12:14; Ezekiel 33:12-13). You either truly repent and confess your sins and forsake them or you remain in them, in darkness, in denial of the truth, in denial of Christ, and hell bound (Proverbs 28:13; Luke 14:33; 17:33; 19:27; Mark 9:43-49). The unrepentant love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil and they refuse to repent and let Jesus reign in their daily life. They will spare no money or time to go to the furthest lengths to put a band aid on a gaping wound – their sinful heart. They will do anything except repent and die to self as Christ commanded (Luke 9:23-24).
“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. :21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:19-21
Cross-less counterfeits will always be perpetuated in their delusions until they truly repent, right where they are, lay down their life in this sinful world, deny self, take up the cross, and follow Jesus daily (Luke 9:23-24; 14:33; 17:33; 19:27; John 12:23-25, etc.). Traveling to another location on the planet changes nothing other than prolonging the misery of sin. God will not deliver anyone until they truly repent before Him – and it’s only then that He forgives their sin and shuts Satan out (James 4:7). There are no shortcuts. God wants to bless you right where you are on His beautiful planet and He sure will – if you will come afresh to Him in repentance and confession of your sins. “Times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the LORD”… a divine promise (Acts 3:19). | Fresh Start with God

“Hey Todd,
Here is a testimony from one of my very dear friends that took a trip yesterday to Asbury…
He wrote:
‘Just came from the revival in Asbury. There’s so many detailed reports and photos posted already. I just can’t give language to all I saw and encountered. I had waited over 50 years for this moment to be back where I had attended this school in my youth. To see this with my eyes again! My heart was strangely warmed. God’s sweet presence swept Hughes Auditorium at Asbury University. There was so much worship, confession and repentance, joyful responses to love him more. And the call to missions. Acts 4:20. It was so good!’“
MY RESPONSE:
Your friend is under a demonic delusion…. same as the Mormons. Your friend is emo… not a man of truth, he’s living by his feelings…take a look at:
Luke 24:32, “our hearts burning within us,” and the Mormon testimony
The “Word of the Holy Spirit” is on record between Genesis and Revelation. No one needs your supposed “Word from the Holy Spirit” because He gave it to us in His Word. Time to get Gospel grounded – Genesis to Revelation. Repent and get over yourself! Primarily, Jesus reveals Himself to His people in His Word, leads His New Testament church by His written Word, led by His Spirit (Luke 24:44-45; John 5:39; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21).
If you have to get into a vehicle and travel somewhere far away to somehow get revived, it can only be for one reason – you are a rebel who refuses to repent and lay down your life in daily crucifixion RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE – and so now you’re running for the fool’s gold, the quick fix, the trinket. Not going to work. Unrepentant rebels are dismal, dark, degenerate, miserable, blind, naked, and ashamed no matter where on God’s green earth their feet tread. Read Romans 6 to see how Christ’s remnant disciples are to live, to walk.

“Strangely definition: in an unusual or surprising way. Should not the people of God know their God? (John 8:32; Heb. 8:11; Isa. 52:6) Should not students at a ‘Christian’ university be ‘born again’ believers (John 3:3) and therefore students of the word of God? (Isa. 57:15) Should not repentance do a work beyond human reasoning or feelings? (Rev. 2:5) I’ve watched some of the videos about 4 hours and heard maybe 5 minutes of speech between hours on hours of contemporary Christian music. I like contemporary, but where are the Psalms and hymns we were instructed to sing and make melody in our hearts to the Lord?

“Many people think it’s knowledge in the world but the Lord is speaking of knowledge in him. This is why so many don’t know the truth because they rather run to everyone else for it other than truth himself…Jesus Christ.” Tina
Numerous people are sending me Fox News links etc. To them I am replying with….
Unless you can show us where the actual preaching of God’s Word is going on in Asbury, I will never believe it is authentic, from God. Those who truly are “of God” honor God and preach, teach, communicate, and ground everything in Him from His Word.
SETTING YOU UP TO DECEIVE YOU
MANY deceivers today misuse the verse below to say that somehow, God is doing something different, something contrary to what He says in His Word. Beware, God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33):
“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:19
It’s easy to deceive the gullible masses. They are only gullible and being destroyed because they have chosen to chase rainbows instead of diligently devouring God’s Word daily. Their house is built on sinking sand. Hell awaits (Matthew 7:19-29).
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6
First off, let me say that God is moving in the hearts of His true remnant. All others are outside of His kingdom, though many claim, swear they are Christ’s, “Depart from me” is what they are going to hear as the Almighty vanquishes them as rebels into eternal hell, if they don’t repent.
“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” Revelation 3:11
God’s Word foretells a great falling away and not a great revival in the last days. Read 2 Thessalonians 2; 1 Timothy 4:1-2; 2 Timothy 3:12-13; Matthew 24:10-14, etc.
MORE CLEAR EVIDENCE OF THE PROPHESIED GREAT FALLING AWAY:
“…because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.” Isaiah 5:24
It’s interesting how so many come out of the woodwork on social media to defend a supposed “revival” using no biblical evidence that it’s authentic, and yet these same people do not daily interact with the Word of God on social media. Think about that. And that’s the problem….. all of a sudden THEY are the authority, they come to the rescue to conclude that a fake “revival” is authentic, when there’s no biblical proof, all because of how it makes them feel – because they are not circumcised in heart and so not men of truth, but rather men in the flesh, carnal, not men who are “valiant for the truth,” earnestly contending for the faith of the original Gospel once delivered to the saints (Jeremiah 9:3; Jude 3-4).
ALL who cast away the Word of God will be destroyed by God.
“Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.” Isaiah 5:24
“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13
The man of God will NEVER bid Godspeed to that which does not align clearly with Holy Scripture. And this Asbury “revival” clearly does not.
IS GOD’S WORD FRONT AND CENTER OR IS IT APOSTASY? It’s one or the other.
Question: If and where God’s Word is not honored, diligently taught and observed, is that place “of God” or “NOT of God”? I am expecting your Yes or No answer. Here’s some help…. What did Jesus say?
WHO is “of God” and WHO is “NOT of God”? Jesus told us, did He not? Read this carefully:
“He that is OF GOD heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are NOT OF GOD.” John 8:47
If you are not a man of the WORD, you are “NOT of God” according to Jesus (John 8:47).
With no exception, those who are “of God” hear and obey and embrace, and hold as the highest divine authority, the written Word of God which is the “MORE sure word of prophecy” (2 Peter 1:12-21). Men of God declare with Christ’s apostle Paul – “Let GOD be true and EVERY man a liar” (Romans 3:4).
Counterfeits are insisting that “God can move anyway He wants to” and in doing so are openly revealing they are “NOT of God” and acting as if God is confused and contradicting Himself. See John 8:47 to see who Jesus says is “Of God” vs who is “NOT of God.” Boom.
“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” 1 Corinthians 14:33
THIS is why God gave us His Word – to keep us safe from the “MANY deceivers” and false prophets among us (Proverbs 30:5-6).
“For MANY DECEIVERS are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.” 2 John 7
Say it out loud with me…. “God is not confused and is not the author of confusion and anyone contradicting His written Word is a demonic fraud!”
“Thank you Bro Todd Tomasella. We all know when YT or other social media allows a sermon like this to spread, its always preaching another Jesus. Because if its the truth, they will cancel it.” Marcus Crassus
“I listened to the YouTube sermon and it was pathetic. I had heard about this supposed revival and was excited believing God was really moving but based on what I’ve just watched, which I had to put on double speed in order to get through it, this ain’t it!!” John Umlauf

“I’m getting some very good reports from Asbury from those I trust…they’re all saying that people are crying out in repentance…the “Cross” is the only thing that can produce that…I would encourage you to take a quick trip out to Asbury just to confirm or otherwise your personal conviction on this move…could be genuine brother!”
REPLY:
That’s totally subjective. Why not trust God instead of mere man? “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). “He that trusteth in his own heart (much less another mere man’s) is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered” (Proverbs 28:26). Before we condone such a “revival,” why not test it against the only One worthy to be trusted – His Word?
WHERE O WHERE is the preaching of the Word of God in Asbury? Not just some lame feminized 30 something-year-old standing up there talking, but rather a crucified with Christ man who is teaching or preaching the BIBLE itself, straight from the Scriptures.
Hundreds of people repenting and being saved at Asbury? hmmmm Any professing Christian wants young people to come to Christ, but is this what is happening at Asbury? What are they repenting of if they aren’t even hearing God’s Word preached and thereby being convicted of their sin? Which they aren’t because the Bible is seldom if ever opened at Asbury. What are the attendees being converted to? God’s unchanging pattern is that His Word be preached and this is how He convicts them of their sin and saves souls (Matthew 28:20; Mark 16:15; 2 Timothy 4:2, etc.). Oh and what are they actually being won into if the Word of God isn’t present? What spirit is present on the wings of the rebellious refusal to communicate God’s Word? – “seducing spirits (demons) and doctrines of devils” are inseparable in the apostasy (1 Timothy 4:1-2).
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith (apostatize), giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1-2
HOPEFULLY PEOPLE ARE REPENTING EVERYWHERE ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH, IN SPITE OF THE REBELS WHO ARE MISLEADING THEM BY NOT PREACHING THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD’S WORD. See Jeremiah 12:10; Isaiah 9:16; 2 Peter 1:3, etc. That’s not the concern being communicated. We sure do hope so, we hope people are truly repenting, in spite of the overlording agenda of the handlers, we praise God for any and all who will repent there or anywhere, in spite of the WORD not being preached. On that note, WHY is one little gathering in one place getting so much attention? WHAT’s the agenda behind it? Not good I can tell you that. God holds all the false prophets there who refuse to preach His Word personally responsible for their rebellion (Isaiah 5:24). “…because they have cast away the law (Word) of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.” (Isaiah 5:24)
Was there preaching when 3,000 then 5,000 souls were saved after Pentecost? Yes. Acts 2 and 4. Notice when we see the church gather in the days recorded in Nehemiah that the elder read the Bible itself, then helped the people understand it. ALL, everything was grounded in the Word. Anything else is apostasy, period. When shall we learn? Egg on the face is coming, again, if we dare be so gullible, rebellious.
“So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.” Nehemiah 8:8
Dear Asbury defender….. Please tell and/or show us all about the cardinal Biblical doctrines of the Christian faith being preached at Asbury please. We’re all waiting because none of those who are foolishly defending this delusion have produced an iota of evidence for what they are falsely claiming. All due to not loving the truth of God and attaching their emotions to something instead of being true disciples who love God’s truth. God is sending them “strong delusion” and they will be “deceived” and “damned” to hell (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).
SAINTS, we are seeing the prophesied great apostasy before our very eyes, where you have biblically-illiterate, don’t-care-what-God-says, professing Christians who have no regard for or fear of the LORD. EVERYTHING goes – just slap the word “Holy Bible” on a butchered content book (fake “bibles”) and they buy it wholesale. Get a big hooray going with good music and stage it as a revival, and they will buy into it wholesale and defend it. They will evade the Word itself, will deny Christ instead of self daily. These same people have no cross or testimony of the precious blood of Jesus, the saving power and grace of Jesus Christ in their personal lives – because they are not in God’s Word as if their life depends on it, they are not taking up the cross – living the crucified life – and following Jesus (Luke 9:23-24; Romans 6; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 4:5, 10-12; Galatians 2:20; 5:34, etc.).
“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.” 2 Timothy 4:1-5
THIS ONE GOT HEATED!
MESSAGES REC’D:
“Pharisees see through religious lenses. The prisoners in china who get jailed and killed for Christ is their life and relationship fake because they can’t read the bible during their worship time in jails and underground churches?”
REPLY: (he repeatedly called me a pharisee due to not agreeing with him – no different than delusionals calling everyone a “r.a-cist” who doesn’t agree with them. He swore that at Asbury they were reading much Scripture and yet when asked, could produce no proof – as in video proof, which there is at least dozens of hours of on youtube) Here’s was one of my responses to him:
So adhering to the written WORD as Jesus said He is the Word and says that we are to search the WORD and the WORD shall never be broken…He’s a pharisee? John 10:35; 5:39-40….do we have Bibles? Yes. The Chinese Christian’s tear pages out of the Bible and pass them around and so they don’t even individually have the whole Bible and yet know it much better than the typical lame American “Christian.” Boom. Christians, everyone in America has Bibles, so no excuse. Case closed. Yet you are bidding Godspeed to those who don’t honor and therefore preach God’s Word. “PREACH the word.” 2 Timothy 4:2. Repent now sinner. Or you will perish with the counterfeits you are defending. 2 John 7-11
WHEN they are saying that signs and wonders are happening, TEST IT as God instructed you to do. Discern against the WORD.
Notice the order here – first comes PREACHING the Word, then the signs and wonders. Hmmmmmm. Is there a rat to smell in Asbury?
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and PREACH the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.” Mark 16:15-20
“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3,5
How can sinners be getting saved when repentance is not even being mentioned, much less preached?
“I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Luke 5:32
Repentance is a change of one’s whole life and direction or it’s not real. It’s a falling upon the mercy of God in Christ in total sorrow for sin…. and surrender.
“But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” Matthew 3:7-10
True repentance always, with no exception, brings forth a changed life:
“Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 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 7:19-21
Actually, I hope we are all wrong who believe there is no original Gospel being preached at the Asbury “revival.” What I’ve personally seen so far is not the original Gospel. There’s no repentance in it. So, it’s false. And they are using fake “bibles,” and until you can clearly demonstrate that repentance is being preached, please cease defending this “revival.” Do you know what Acts 17:10-11 and 1 Thess. 5:21 reveal? Fox News is not represented by Bible believing Christians… Bereans who test everything against Holy Scripture.
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“We allow the Lord to Move. Who made you God and King?”
REPLY:
You say: “We allow the Lord to Move.” So, mere man is in control? Do WE dictate how God moves or does He? Does the LORD move contradictory to His own Word? He’s confused? See 1 Corinthians 14:33. Was there preaching of His Word when 3,000 then 5,000 souls were saved? Yes (Acts 2:41; 4:4). Tell us where there’s the preaching of the Word at this “revival”? God has spoken. Do you have a King James Bible? WHO made you queen? You offer no Scripture which clearly defines that you are biblically illiterate and just going with the flow of the prophesied great falling away. God is calling you to repent and be soundly grounded in His Word.
Some claim that many are repenting. How can people be repenting, for real, if there’s no preaching, especially on the essential of repentance? On the day of Pentecost, when 3,000 and then 5,000 men repented it was at the preaching of the apostles Peter and John (Acts 2:41; 4:4). The very first word, divine command from the mouths of John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostle Peters was “Repent.” (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19) Has God changed? No. There is no preaching of God’s Word which means there’s no honoring of God Himself at this Asbury “revival.”
“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13
“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Acts 17:11
138 times in God’s Word “preach,” “preached,” and “preaching” appear. Has the Almighty changed? Is He doing things some other way, OR are gullible, biblically illiterate people staging a fraud?
In the Old and New Testaments, the revivals we see are lost people getting right with God and they always involved the preaching of the Word of God. See Jonah and the 8,000 souls who were saved at Pentecost when the church was born (Acts 2 and 4).
WHEN 3,000 souls were saved and then 5,000, was there preaching? Yes, in both cases. Read Acts 2 and 4. “Preach the word” (2 Timothy 4:2). Peter, anointed by the Holy Ghost, preached. God moves in conjunction with the preaching of His Word. So, when there’s news of a supposed “revival,” look for the preaching of the WORD, not some lukewarm pansy standing there talking and musing about life on his own terms. Look for a man who is crucified with Christ, with Holy Spirit fire in his eyes, consumed by the Holy Ghost. Or, a man who is simply teaching the Bible itself – which is a lost art in God’s Word and is making way for the prophesied great apostasy (2 Thessalonians 2). Jesus is coming saints. Cling to HIM – to His words. Pour over the Word daily, memorize, and meditate upon it.
God ordained the preaching of His Word, of the Word of the cross. Here’s a mere sampling:
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and PREACH (proclaim, declare) the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15
“For the PREACHING of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:18
“PREACH the word…” 2 Timothy 4:2
“Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. 2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. 3 For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. 4 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 4:1-4, 20-23

Apparently, you are not a man of the Word of God, a man of truth, by your own admission (Matthew 12:34). Where do we see all this public praise and worship in the New Testament church, among the earliest believers? You’ve made an idol of it apparently. If you have so much grace, as you seem to infer, WHERE is it in your words here? WHERE is the Holy Scripture? Apparently, you are being led around by the nose by the great apostasy that was foretold and it’s all because you aren’t grounded in the Word for yourself (2 Timothy 2:15).
Paul instructed Timothy (and us) to “Study” the Word (2 Timothy 2:15). Did Paul ever instruct anyone to “praise and worship” as we know it today? Nope. What does the biblically-stated imperative of the written Word vs the gross lack of emphasis on “praise and worship” say? Did God forget to tell us something we needed to know, or have sinful men, misusing His holy name, over emphasized it?
Acts 16:25-26 record how Paul and Silas sang praises in jail and God caused an earthquake. This was amazing and yet, in the gatherings of the saints, do we see an elaborate praise and worship session or set up anywhere in the New Testament canon? No.
So, instead of offering Bible truth they stand on, gutless cowards lash out emotionally, having no substance to offer when their apple carts are flipped, and begin to attack the mere messengers of the Word of God. They call you “jealous” since they have no substance to offer. The true remnant disciple declares with David that “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Psalms 119:105).
One of the utterly lame defenses of false revivals is “Oh, but you’re just jealous.” Was Jesus jealous when He rebuked the false leaders and their falsehoods in His day? Matt 23, etc…. How about the apostle Paul? Was he just being jealous when he rebuked false doctrine such as in Galatia?
When Jesus warns His followers about “MANY false prophets” who will “deceive MANY,” is the Son of God just being jealous?
“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
“the enemies of the cross of Christ”
“Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision… (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:2, 18-19
BEWARE OF THE “ENEMIES OF THE CROSS OF CHRIST” – THOSE WHO REFUSE TO DIE, TO DENY SELF, TAKE UP THE CROSS DAILY – LIVE THE CRUCIFIED LIFE – AND YET THEY RUN AROUND DEFENDING THINGS THAT HAVE NO BIBLICAL RECONCILIATION.
Isn’t it time to get into God’s Word and stop defending the enemies of Christ? Bidding God speed to them will land you in hell with them according to 2 John 7-11.
“Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision… (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:2, 18-19
God will never raise up that which is still alive under it’s own power, but only that which is dead and buried “with Christ” (Romans 6).
“Any first responder will tell you. You can only revive what is dead or dying. Been saying this for years. Want revival then die to self/ the flesh. Be born again. You were first born a living soul. We are born again a living spirit. If you’re full of The Holy Spirit and dead to self, walking circumspectly, seated in heavenly places in Spirit ~ then you’re truly alive and there is no need for revival – because you need no reviving, you are being raised up.” Todd McAdams
Had a guy insist that I could not discern whether Asbury was false until I literally went there in person. Is that true or false? Let’s examine together…. Here’s my response to him before blocking him per the command of Matthew 7:6 and Titus 3:9-11:
You have provided no proof that Asbury is a God revival. It’s not. Delusional. Yet you have not been there and insist it’s authentic while telling me I can’t insist that it’s fake since I also haven’t been there. Neither of us have been there. No need to go there. You have no video proof with hundreds of hours of video available, to demonstrate that God’s Word is being preached at Asbury. You are dead wrong. Think about it….So, here you are right now, via a social media platform, making conclusions about me while simultaneously insisting that I can’t make determinations about something that has mountains more information available than you have on me, and it’s on video. Think about your convoluted delusion here…. In reality, you simply do not want to die to the self life. You want to believe there can be a quick fix, a magic pill to undo all your rebellion, your refusal to lay down your life in this fleeting world and die the death, truly, practically, daily be crucified with Christ, for real. Romans 6. God is calling you to freshly repent and return to Him, before it’s too late (Hosea 10:12; 14:1-2).

“Have you been there, Todd? I’ve heard totally different versions then what you’re espousing. So with that being said, hearsay from a 3rd party isn’t sufficient enough for you to make critiquing posts. Maybe you should go check it out for yourself and then come back with your subjective opinion.”
REPLY:
Have you watched the videos? Where is the preaching of the Word, the Gospel, the cross, sin, hell, repentance? Those are all cardinal doctrines of the original Gospel and every true disciple, Bible student, knows such. Please demonstrate where the Word is actually being preached, especially under the power of the Holy Spirit. The burden of proof is on you – to demonstrate, to test, to weigh in the balance this supposed “revival” against Holy Scripture. Do you understand what Acts 17:10-11 teaches?
Are they preaching that “ALL have sinned” and repentance? If not, it’s false, period. we must discern what they are preaching.
Acts 17:10-11
2 Timothy 3:10
Look at the doctrine, not the fanfare. If sin and repentance, are not being preached it’s “another gospel” 100% (2 Corinthians 11:2-5; Galatians 1:6-9). What are they preaching?

One lady claimed God was showing her that “screaming repent” is wrong and that those exposing this false revival were acting grossly immoral.
MY REPLY:
So obeying God by preaching the Word, reproving, rebuking, and exhorting, as He expressly commanded (2 Tim 4:2) is being immoral and showing gross behavior? Were the prophets of God, John the Baptist, Jesus, Peter, Paul, John “screaming” repent? No. But they preached it and commanded that HIS people preach it – “And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem” (Luke 24:47).
“God … commandeth ALL men every where to repent” (Acts 17:30). No one gets restored, refreshed until they repent (Acts 3:19). The burden of proof is on you to reveal where sin and repentance are being preached at this Asbury “revival.” Until you can do that, not only is your doctrine in error, but you are out of order. What you are claiming God is showing you is subjective, not the Word, and it contradicts His Word. You are not speaking the truth of God’s Word but rather going by your emotions, your own feelings. I suggest you evaluate what spirit is driving you. God doesn’t contradict His own Word. He’s not the Author of confusion (1 Cor 14:33). Was Christ’s apostle Paul being evil, behaving grossly toward others when he openly rebuked the apostle Peter for assimilating with false doctrine and wolves at Galatia? See Gal. 2.
It’s beyond dangerous to attach the name of the LORD to something that He could not have told you because it contradicts His own Word.
“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.” Jeremiah 23:16
“How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;” Jeremiah 23:26
“Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,” Ezekiel 13:17
To defend a false revival commandeered by those in error is to bid God speed to the enemies of God (2 John 7-11).
Those who “mark” false prophets and heresy are obeying God by earnestly contending for the faith once delivered to the saints – in obedience to the LORD and so His saints can be protected in His truth (Proverbs 30:5-6). So, they are acting justly.
“He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.” Proverbs 17:15

Perhaps the best thing about these supposed and staged “revivals” is singing old hymns. But who needs to travel across the country for that? Isn’t it time to go back to the early church model of simple, organic gatherings of just two or more saints where Jesus promises to be present and bless? Bam. Read and live Acts 2:42-47 beloved of God.

Please prove 500 people got saved? If so it is in spite of the lack of preaching of repentance. Show us in God’s Word where it says: “You can’t thump ppl on the head about sin and expect them to listen.” heretic….. Waiting.
In your definition, John the Baptist, Jesus, and His holy apostles were false – because “REPENT” was the first command of the original Gospel (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30; 20:21, etc.).
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.” Acts 17:30
“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3, 5
“Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38
LAME. FEMINIZED. FAKE “bible.” NO REPENTANCE. NO CROSS: Any message of “love” being preached which isn’t coming from the cross, beginning with repentance, is false love. Please demonstrate how THIS is a “revival”? If you are pushing or defending this Asbury “revival”…. this will embarrass you if you have any conviction in your heart for God, truly.
No cross being preached at Asbury – Christ’s cross and the one He commanded that His followers take up daily (Luke 9:23-24).
John the Baptist, Jesus, and His holy apostles preached repentance. Anyone not preaching sin and repentance is preaching “another gospel” and is an “accursed” antichrist (Galatians 1:6-9).
“And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” Luke 24:47
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now COMMANDETH ALL MEN EVERY WHERE TO REPENT.” Acts 17:30
If they aren’t preaching repentance, it doesn’t matter what else is happening – IT’S FALSE.
Repent now and buck up to the original Gospel – which begins with the command to repent – and that doesn’t take getting in a vehicle or flying to another state! God’s presence is everywhere in HIS earth – ready to save if we repent, right? Isaiah 59:1-2. For the essential doctrine of repentance, see Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Luke 13:3; 24:47; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 20:21, etc..
“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;” (Romans 10:8)
Andre writes:
“Concerning the Asbury ‘revival’, I haven’t heard anyone preaching repentance or sound doctrine.. just 24/7 worship.”
“I heard this….. some Bethel and Hillsong music and Todd Bentley was showing up to ‘soak’.” J.
One man looking into, reporting on the Asbury “revival” noted:
“Not A Good Sign At Asbury: When Todd Bentley And Queer Students Like Your Revival”
Do we really see 24/7 worship in the NT church in God’s Word? I don’t think so….. Jesus prayed all night to select His 12 that’s the only thing we have on it… “And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God” (Luke 6:12).

“You don’t preach ‘repentance’ btw. Repentance is something that takes place after the GOOD NEWS IS PREACHED.”
REPLY:
One apostate man just told me: “you don’t preach REPENTance”. Wow. Totally biblcally illiterate.
The words “repent” and “repentance” appear 72 times in God’s Word – the King James Bible.
WHO preached REPENTANCE?
John the Baptist
“And saying, REPENT ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 3:2
Jesus
“From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, REPENT: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17
Peter
“Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38
“REPENT ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” Acts 3:19
Christ’s Apostle Paul
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to REPENT:” Acts 17:30
No one will be saved without REPENTing (Luke 13:3, 5, etc.). AFFIRMATION without salvation, regeneration, is rampant in today’s apostate modern church world. Beware.
One is hard pressed to hear any modern pastor use the word and essential divine command to “REPENT.” This was foretold for these final days in which we live. Any man not preaching the essential biblical doctrine of REPENTance, not using the Bible word “REPENT,” is preaching “another gospel” and is an “accursed” wolf with no exception! (See Galatians 1:6-9.) Run. If you sit under, if you patronize any preacher who isn’t regularly using the divine essential command to “REPENT,” you are as deceived and hell bound as this vile antichrist you are bidding Godspeed to (2 John 10-11).
GOD NEITHER FORGIVES NOR BLESSES ANY MAN WHO DOESN’T FIRST REPENT.
“I use to see (as I’m not on YouTube much anymore) so many people/teachers talking up a ‘billion soul harvest.’ It didn’t matter that that flies in the face of Jesus’ own words:…”narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matt. 7:13-14″ Jon Crane
What does it say for those who run to get a quick fix in a supposed “revival”? It seems to indicate that the LORD is not important enough to them to seek, to worship and to walk with, to love, in their daily life and so now they’re going to run to the staged “revival”.
Asbury Revival?
WHY would anyone take a trip to Asbury when the You tube evidence shows no preaching of God’s Word? What did Jesus tell the woman at the well concerning limiting God to a physical location? Read John 4.
For many reasons, I’m always leery when a “revival breaks out.” Historically, in our day especially, there have been so many “revivals” that were 100% staged by wolves to get the masses of the gullible to flock there…and give their money and draw attention to a certain ministry. Beware. God is present right where we are on HIS planet. “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save” (Is 59:1).
History will show those who ran to some location to try to participate in some “revival” did not retain such. In other words, there lives were not bettered when they returned – in the biblical sense.
We’ve all heard about the suction technology that instantly removes the fat around the patient’s belly. But is this the best solution for their life? No. Yet, people will pay big money to undo their own irresponsibility. What have they learned? Nothing. Do we not realize that when a person loses weight by working out and eating correctly, that they learn something in that journey. It forges in them the desires to keep that fat off their body, right? Quick fixes are not always gold, even though they tempt people with the glittering prospect of quickly undoing something wrong they did over a long period of time. Seems wise to learn something so that one doesn’t have to repeat the error.
Jesus teaches us that real change and the “manifest” presence of the LORD only come to those who embrace His Word, who love, worship, and obey Christ (John 8:47; 14:21-23). These blessings don’t come from praising and worshipping the LORD. There is no magic bullet in Christ’s kingdom but there is a cross to be born, “daily” (Luke 9:23-24). Time to get into the trenches and stop buying Satan’s lies. The cross, the trench equals your own death and burial and guarantees the resurrection of Christ – raising you in His glory, His grace, His power, and His victory! (2 Corinthians 4:10-12)
God only touches people who repent, trust Him, and obey Him… Read John 14:21-23 to see who Jesus and the Father camp out with and bless. Too many shallow, counterfeits seeking for a quick fix, chasing rainbows at false “revivals.” They want God to undo all the wages of their sin in one quick shot so they can just go out and live in sin again. But this won’t happen – God will not bless, will not save any person who does not truly repent. Period.
Jesus teaches us that real change and the “manifest” presence of the LORD only come to those who embrace His Word, who love, worship, and obey Christ (John 8:47; 14:21-23). These blessings don’t come from going to a supposed “revival” and praising and worshipping the LORD endlessly. There is no magic bullet in Christ’s kingdom but there is a cross to be born, “daily” (Luke 9:23-24). Out of that abiding relationship with Christ, practically walking with Him daily, will be the progression of “fruit… more fruit, much fruit” produced in our lives (John 15). Time to get into the trenches and stop buying Satan’s lies. The cross, the trench equals your own death and burial and guarantees the resurrection of Christ – raising you in His glory, His grace, His power, and His victory! (2 Corinthians 4:10-12)
Even if it were true that people could run to some location, to flood some church building, and truly get revived, that would NOT change the non-negotiable need for the daily cross – for dying to self daily so Jesus is raising your upward, reviving you with His resurrection power (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20; 5:24). God only revives those who are dead and buried with Christ, truly. No supposed “revival” changes God’s Word because nothing does. There is no shortcut or replacement for a crucified life.
A HISTORY OF FAKE “REVIVALS”
“Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” Isaiah 59:1-2
God’s people were in need of true repentance, not offering vain worship.
Is the LORD calling, leading anyone to travel to find “revival”? No. God is calling us to travel to our knees (figuratively at least) in repentance. It’s then that His mighty arm, His strength will be manifested to conquer all our enemies.
Have you noticed that most people will do ANYTHING except truly repent? They are willing to try any principle, prescription, or gimmick, as long as it doesn’t require their own crucifixion. These are whom Jesus says “loved darkness rather than light” (John 3:19-21). Like Israel, they will render fake repentance (Psalms 34:18; 51:17; Isaiah 66:1-2). Remember, true repentance always, 100% of the time, results in a changed life – a life that pleases God, that is sanctified, set apart, and fruitful to His eternal glory (Matthew 3:7-10; John 14-15, etc.).
Many want revival but not repentance. They want the crown but not the cross. They want the prize but not death to the self life. Beware (2 Timothy 4:2-4).
The only thing that stands between you and true divine resurrection grace is your own repentance, laying down your life, dying and being buried. It’s then that He will raise you up – revive your life! No need to travel to try to find the “presence of God.” Beware of the constant gimmicks.
The principle is no different than the click bait videos, or throwing things up on social media in order to get likes, clicks, etc. This is the same thing certain ministries will due to attract traffic, attention, dollars.
Most people refuse to repent and will do anything except truly repent. Yet they want to simply drive somewhere where there’s supposedly a “revival” transpiring. The last time people had to be in one specific place to “receive power from on high” was on the Day of Pentecost when the church was born (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 2:1-42). Christ Himself organized that one!
“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.” 2 Chronicles 16:9
To the woman at the well, Jesus seems to make it clear that He is our Salvation, our Source, and that goes for anywhere we are on HIS earth… He’s looking for His people to repent and trust Him and not travel to attempt to find Him. He’s not hiding – He simply isn’t revealing Himself to the casual seeker and requires that we repent right where we are. Refreshing and revival will follow (Acts 3:19). Does Christ not openly dispel this false notion that worship happens due to a certain location? Yes. Not even in Jerusalem.
“Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.” Jn 4:22-26
God’s glory fills the whole earth! Here are some examples of How the LORD tells us that His earth is His handiwork and is full of His goodness, His riches, and His glory:
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.” Psalms 19:1
“He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.” Psalms 33:5
“O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.” Psalms 104:24
“And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.” Isaiah 6:3
Nigh thee – just obey
Does God instruct people to search out, to find, to travel to get in a “revival” as if He’s specially touching a certain group or place? What New Testament example of such do we have? Chasing “revival” or Jesus?
Repent, trust God, and flourish with fellow disciples right where you are.

What Eternal Security Wolves Refuse to Teach [podcast]

THE 5 SINS THAT KEPT ISRAEL (God’s own covenant people) OUT OF THEIR PROMISED LAND OF BLESSINGS and will keep us out if not relinquished. Friend, please read 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 with all your might. Make this text your meat.
The world seeks to romance sin but if God says it’s sin, that’s what it is. Toning down the terms changes nothing. Judgment Day is on the way.
We are fighting the good fight of faith, “striving against sin” and “more than conquerors” over sin through Jesus who loves us and bought us with His own blood! (1 Timothy 6:12; Hebrews 12:4; 13:12; Acts 20:28; Romans 8:37)
There are the 5 sins listed here that kept God’s people out of His blessings. We all need to L.I.F.T.M. up to the LORD in repentance and for His perfect forgiveness and cleansing. God the Holy Spirit warns us here through Paul’s pen (1 Cor. 10:1-13), that Israel and these sins are “examples” (vv. 6, 11) to all NT believers. God destroys those who go back on Him after knowing Him (transgressors – Ps. 68:21; 73:28; 125:5, etc.). If not ridden out of our lives, any one of these 5 sins WILL keep us out of our promised land. God is holy (Heb. 12:14). As taken in order from 1 Cor. 10:6-10, here are those 5 sins:
-
Lust
-
Idolatry
-
Fornication
-
Tempting Christ
-
Murmuring
This simple acronym should help us to remember these sins and remain separate from them as we grow today to know and love our Savior more fervently. “Keep thyself pure” (1 Timothy 5:22).
Committing the sin is one thing (1 John 1:8-10, right) and refusing to repent of it is yet another. Refusing to acknowledge, repent, confess, and cease is what snares the soul and ousts us from Christ (Proverbs 28:13).
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13
If the Holy Spirit has quickened any offences of your heart, simply L.I.F.T.M. up to Christ the Redeemer, Forgiver, Cleanser, and Transformer of lives.
Fornication Defiles
“It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have (Gr. possessed and wouldn’t repent) his father’s wife. 2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.” 1 Corinthians 5:1-2
1 Corinthians 10 completely destroys the OSAS / eternal security argument.
Notice the word “OUR” in verses 6 and 11. This is directly spoken to warn NEW Testament saints that they are going to hell if they live and die in sin.
Case closed.
1 Corinthians 10:1-12
1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Now these things were OUR examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also LUSTED.
7 Neither be ye IDOLATERS, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit FORNICATION, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us TEMPT CHRIST, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10 Neither MURMUR ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for OUR admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
The cross. Christ raises up those who are crcified with Him – outside of which no man can overcome sin. Romans 6.
“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
Eternal security is a false teaching. 1 sin separated Adam and Eve from God and “The wages of sin is (still) death” because God is Holy (Rom 6:23, etc.). Moral coward counterfeits hate, despise the Gospel essential of the cross, the crucified life. They want Jesus to save them to Heaven but not from sin. These are the sin-justifying, grace-perverting “ungodly men” Jude warned us about (Jude 4).
The divine declaration that “The wages of sin is death” which means separation from God, appears throughout Scripture (Romans 6:23).
“He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.” Proverbs 19:16
Die or death always means separation.
OSAS/eternal security is a lie from hell. OSAS was Satan’s first lie and so it’s blasphemy to teach this doctrine of devils and claim it’s part of the Gospel. You are attributing Satan’s lie to the LORD Jesus. Repent now sinner. See Genesis 2:17; 3:4; Romans 11:20-22; 1 Timothy 4:1; Hebrews 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39; 2 Peter 2:20-21; Jude 4, etc..
The concept of an un-conditional eternal security is not established in Scripture … Except for it being Satan’s first teaching, His first lie – the “Ye shall NOT surely die” lie (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).
“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:25-27
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” Revelation 19:7-9
“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” 2 Corinthians 7:1
“And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.” 1 John 3:3
“Psalms 51:1-19
Psalm 51: Sweet Perfumes of Penitence
Alexander Maclaren once said, ‘The alchemy of divine love can extract sweet perfumes of penitence and praise out of the filth of sin.’ We have an illustration of this in Psalm 51. As the heading explains, it was written by David after Nathan the prophet had boldly exposed him for committing adultery with Bathsheba and for murdering Uriah. Utterly convicted of his sin, David pours out this torrent of penitence from his broken and contrite heart.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
Read and pray Psalm 51.
Prayer of Returning: Holy Father, You gave all when You gave Your only begotten Son who came and died for our sins. You’ve also called me to lay down my life, to lose my life in this fleeting world. I have not done well at giving over my life to You … You alone who are worthy of my full, unreserved worship. Right this moment I ask You to forgive my sin of having another god before You which is self idolatry and spiritual adultery. I have alienated the affections of my heart away from You LORD and onto myself. For this I ask You to forgive me and I right here and now turn to You Jesus. Right this moment I lay my life in Your holy hands LORD. Into Your hands I submit my spirit – my whole being. Not my will but Thine be done LORD Jesus! I am no longer my own. I am Yours. I am dead and my life is hid with Christ in God. I love You Jesus and am ceaselessly grateful that You bought me with the price of Your own blood! You must increase but I must decrease. I ask You to unite my heart to fear Thy holy name! Teach me daily to lay myself aside and to give the reins over to You! In Jesus’ Name, amen.

“THE GREAT DRAGON” [podcast]

Excerpt from the book Lie of the Ages
Origin of Evil
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” ~ Revelation 12:9
Like it or not, you have a sworn enemy. He has drawn a line in the sand. You are in a war for your eternal soul and you must fight or you will be destroyed.
The introduction to the God of all creation and lover of His highest creation—mankind, is of supreme importance. And so is realizing and understanding the existence of the most wicked and iniquitous being in this universe. He is one of the major themes and realities in this record of mankind’s beginning. The Word of our God unveils creation’s account, leading to our present day and into the eternal future. What is set forth in the book of Genesis would set the stage and affect all of the history that would follow.
This book of origins is about that fatal falsehood which emanates from the Garden where it all began—a garden that was sinless bliss and perfection until the lie was introduced and acted upon by the first two people.
Of this very archenemy of the Most-High, from whom all lies originate, the Word states: “Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God” (Ezek. 28:13). The serpent, animated by the vilest of all beings, was allowed to slither into the innocence and purity that originally existed in the sanctuary of creation. This was due to the fact that perfect divine wisdom has seen fit to allow His creation to have the opportunity of choice between good and evil (Deut. 30:19; Josh. 24:15; Job 12:16; 1 Cor. 11:19).
Satan has a purpose. Since love is volitional by its very nature, our Creator has seen fit to permit this evil and beguiling villain to remain present amidst those professing sanctuary in the LORD. Life on earth is a test for all—all humans are on probation. Love is a choice and so is rebellion. The Maker of all made man with free will so that the choice could be made to love or not to love Him. Among volumes of other Scriptures found in Holy Writ which demonstrate this, the following words from on high make plain that the LORD made Man with free will: “Choose you this day whom ye will serve” (Josh. 24:15).
Such a statement would not have been spoken by the LORD if He had not made man with the ability of choice. Man was created with the ability to “choose” every “day” whom he will serve, and this choice is ongoing while men are upon the earth in this temporal life.
It would be remiss to attempt discussing the very lie of the ages without opening the grand subject of the one whom Christ said was the father (originator) of all lies. Of Satan, the Son of God informed us, as He spoke to the rebellious religionists of His day:
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” ~ John 8:44
All men are born in sin and are “by nature” the “children of disobedience.”
“Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.” ~ Ephesians 2:2-3
There are, at this moment only two classes of people in the earth—those who have relationship with the One who made us all, and those who don’t. According to this passage (Ephesians 2), all those who have not been brought into the kingdom of God through Christ, have as their father, the devil. The reason the Son of God came to the earth was to sever the ties and claim of Satan from mankind. He came to deliver men from this relationship of fear, domination and bondage that is only enabled by sin.
“To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” ~ Acts 26:18
“Who (God the Father) hath delivered us from the power of darkness (Satan), and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.” ~ Colossians 1:13-14
The mission of Christ was to reconcile or restore the relationship that had been severed by the sin of the first man and woman which caused death (separation) to fall upon all men, the whole race (Romans 5:12). He fully accomplished His mission and is now seated at His Father’s right hand, enforcing this victory (Heb. 4:14-16; 7:25-26).
From the dawn of the creation and fall of mankind, all evil, tragedy and pain in history has been caused by Satan and enabled by man’s sin (Prov. 26:2). Only the LORD, the One whose holiness is violated when sin is committed, can save, restore and heal (Jer. 17:14; 1 Cor. 15:57; Rev. 21:4).
Victory was obtained through the precious blood of Jesus (1 Pet. 1:18-19). Being forgiven and released from all sin and its evil effects and the dominion of Satan, comes through Christ alone. Jesus utterly conquered His enemy on the cross (Col. 2:13-15; 1 Jn. 3:8). Blessed forgiveness and spiritual power enables the individual disciple to serve the LORD without fear and bondage to sin. Sin enables Satan’s rule and only those who are free from it by Jesus Christ can rule over His enemies (Ps. 8:6; 17:4; Jn. 8:31-36; 1 Jn. 4:4). Christ triumphed over the enemy of all souls with His death on the cross and resurrection from the dead. Read the following passage for all it’s worth:
“For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel.” ~ Colossians 1:19-23
The Son of God accomplished complete victory in bringing God and men back into perfect union by “the blood of His cross” (Col. 1:20).
“And you, being dead (separated) in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened (made alive) together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show (sport; spectacle) of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” ~ Colossians 2:13-15
The “serpent” who was in the Garden of creation and still “walketh about” in the midst of the earth, is specifically identified as Satan and the devil (1 Pet. 5:8; Rev. 12:9; 20:2). This ultimate enemy of all that is good took control of the serpent in his attack against man. The serpent, animated by the enemy of souls himself, was used as the instrument that led to the fall of mankind and the righteous retribution of the holy Creator. Yet, Jesus Christ accomplished mankind’s redemption through “the blood of His cross” (Col. 1:20).
Know Your Enemy
Allow me to parenthetically say here that if one does not personally believe in a literal devil (Satan) and his insidious work of evil among men, then perhaps that person will do well to begin to search God’s Word for the volumes of Scripture which identify and describe him along with unveiling his wicked purposes. The LORD inspired the Scriptures and has much to say about His enemy—our enemy. It is interesting to discover that the word “devil” appears 57 times in the Bible. The word “Satan” appears 50 times. These are the most utilized terms to describe this darkest of fallen beings, and yet there are several more which identify this enemy of all souls who is the personification of evil, such as “serpent,” and “adversary” (1 Pet. 5:8; Rev. 12:9).
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” ~ Revelation 12:9
His goal may be summed up this way: Satan’s complete and total purpose that underlies all that he does is to cause men to fall from grace just as he himself did and was banished from fellowship with the life-giving God. There is a horrible prison of fire which will be the eternal home of all who leave this earth apart from a personal and intimate relationship with the One who died for sinners.
On Judgment Day, that Great and Terrible Day of separation between the righteous and the unrighteous will include these horrible words “from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away”:
“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” ~ Revelation 20:11-15
To those whose existence in this temporal life ends disconnected from the only Savior, the following will be the verdict delivered to them in Judgment: “Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matt. 25:41).
Hell is a place of indescribably horrid eternal punishment and was created by the LORD for his archenemy and all those who are not His.
Back to the enemy, the one who wants you dead and in hell: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet. 5:8).
One may find great intrigue in uncovering this iniquitous fallen foe and gain much insight into the dark world of demons and deception along with gaining perception into the real battle in the spirit realm that rages over mankind.
“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” ~ Ephesians 6:11-12
By the volume of information about His enemy included in His Word, we know that the LORD intended for us to know our enemy—His enemy.
Believers are to give him no place: “Neither give place to the devil” (Eph. 4:27).
Believers are to set themselves against him: “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (Jas. 4:7); “Stand against the wiles of the devil” (Eph. 6:11).
Believers are to know his scheming goals and ways and avoid them lest he gain advantage of us: “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices” (2 Cor. 2:11).
The devil seeks to trip up, war against, wear out and devour the sheep of the LORD’s pasture. He has come to wreak havoc among the Lord’s highest creation: “The thief (devil) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).
Power Over All the Power of the Enemy
Believers are warned to live in obedience to the Word of God in order to escape falling into “the condemnation of the devil” and being caught in “the snare of the devil” or giving an “advantage” to him (1 Tim. 3:6-7; 2 Tim. 2:26; 2 Cor. 2:11).
The enemy of our souls prospers through the ignorance of God’s people—he is shut out and his work nullified by the knowledge and obedience of God’s people.
“By the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.” ~ Psalms 17:4
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” ~ Psalms 91:1
Disciples of Jesus are kept from being destroyed by the enemy in obeying the Word of God. Holy Writ informs us that Jesus came to successfully “destroy the works of the devil” and that “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 Jn. 3:8; 4:4).
Christ promised power to those who are truly His:
“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.” ~ Luke 10:17-20
Jesus Christ, the eternal Word, became flesh so that He might destroy the works of the enemy of our souls:
“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.” ~ Hebrews 2:14
Believers are told to be of a sober mind and diligent in light of the proactive and evil plans of Satan to destroy them:
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world”. ~ 1 Peter 5:8-9
Here’s what the Bible says about Satan’s work in the last days:
“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” Revelation 12:12
As foretold here, the work of the evil one is accelerating in this late hour before the destruction of all rebellion and return of our LORD Jesus Christ.
The Alpha and Omega is coming back, and His enemy’s end is sure:
“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.” ~ Romans 16:20
“And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.” ~ Revelation 20:2-3
“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” ~ Revelation 20:10
Surrounded and Outnumbered
Elisha’s servant was brought to the understanding that there are more angels of God with God’s children than there are fallen angels who rebelled:
“And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he (the prophet Elisha) answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.” ~ 2 Kings 6:15-17
The one who is following Christ need not fear. LORD Jesus open our eyes! Nothing has changed—there are “more” angels of the LORD “with us…than they that be with them (the enemy).” The saints of the Most High are promised protection and His angels are part of that plan.
“Are they (God’s angels) not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation.” ~ Hebrews 1:14
“The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.” ~ Psalms 34:7
In Heaven and in eternity past, two-thirds of the then-angelic beings remained under the command and blessing of the Almighty, while a third chose to depart with Lucifer and are forever alienated from the Most High. Let’s take a glimpse into a war that took place in Heaven in eternity past, a war that has great impact today:
“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. ~ Revelation 12:7-12
It would remain difficult to understand this life and present world system, and the world to come if one were to pass lightly over this war of wars that occurred (took place) in Heaven. When we begin to delve into the data given in this matter, understanding comes of our great God and His arch adversary. Enlightenment and understanding into the 6,000 years of mankind’s history open to us when we know what preceded this time period. Knowledge into what we are told prophetically is transpiring before our very eyes. As we are seeing, the Holy Scriptures reveal much about that dark and sinister being called “Satan” and the “devil” who is and will have a large part to play in the fulfillment of prophecy. Although his rebellion against the Almighty began in eternity past, the serpent’s workings among men began in the Garden of Eden. He crept in to accomplish his wicked agenda. He has seemingly succeeded for this moment, yet the divine promise is that his time is running short. “The devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time” (Rev. 12:12).
The First Fall-Out: Eternal Termination
We all understand what it means when someone says, “John and Mark had a falling-out.” This means they were friends or business partners, and then because of some disagreement, they parted company and are no longer friends. Well, the first falling-out occurred between the Almighty and Lucifer. The angel Lucifer fell out of the favor of God and consequently fell out of Heaven. Of Lucifer’s ejection from Heaven, the Son of God stated: “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven” (Lk. 10:18).
The evil one was evicted from Heaven when he turned against God. Originally, he was a good angel, “the anointed cherub,” who led the worship of the Almighty, until the day that “iniquity was found” in him (Ezek. 28:14-15). Lucifer, who became Satan and the devil, led a third of the angels of the Most-High God in rebellion against Him. “And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth” (Rev. 12:4).
Ultimately, all deception and all lies have their origin in this greatest of all enemies who brought about the sin and fall of mankind and wages war today against the Almighty’s highest creation (mankind). Of Satan, the Son of God said: “for he is a liar, and the father of it” (Jn. 8:44). He also informed us that this supreme adversary has come to do three things— “to steal, to kill, and to destroy” (Jn. 10:10). He wages war against God and His people. He is defined as and called “the accuser of our brethren” (Rev. 12:10).
Satan is a real being. He is not a figment of someone’s imagination. In fact, anyone who is convinced of such has already been conquered by his deception. He is forever the sworn enemy of the LORD, and will ultimately be put away for good, never again to tempt another soul to rebel against the Maker of all that is. “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever” (Rev. 20:10).
The one who studies the Word of God will gain priceless insight into the reasons for the current condition of the world, and, into the future blessedness of all those who know and follow the One who bled to save us from God’s holy wrath against sin and Satan (Rom. 5:9). In fact, a divine blessing is pronounced upon all who read and obey the words of Holy Scripture: “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand” (Rev. 1:3).
PRAYER: Holy Father in Heaven, please bless me to know You more and to be kept from the evil one and his wicked schemes against Your people. Right this moment I ask You for and receive a fresh cleansing of all my sins by the blood of Jesus Christ my LORD and Savior, whereby I am blessed to overcome, along with the word of my testimony of how you have washed and delivered me. I declare afresh and aloud, right this second, if never before, that Jesus Christ is LORD of my life, and He alone will I worship and serve. Glory to His precious Name! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

The Deaths of Voddie Baucham vs Charlie Kirk [podcast]

Yes it’s an amazing impact and effect God is doing in the lives of so many through Charlie Kirk’s life and death. Undeniable. His life wasn’t perfect, neither was Abraham’s, Rahab’s, Noah’s, Moses, Samson, Peter…. etc. God has each of them with Him now. Dare you pretend to self righteously pretend to be wiser and more just than the Almighty? You’ve been telling everyone else to repent and yet perhaps now it’s your time to obey the LORD’s command to repent (Acts 17:30).
Compare how people are reacting to Voddie Baucham vs how they are reacting to the death of Charlie Kirk.
Interestingly, some of the same people condemning Charlie Kirk listen to Voddie Baucham.
A simple search confirms Voddie Baucham’s Calvinism. He died a heretic. He never renounced the false teachings of Clvinism. In contrast Charlie Kirk denounced bribe money, Catholicism. My inclination is to blast Catholics but Charlie Kirk’s method was much wiser… and so he retained the ear and attention of the Catholics which has and will continue to lead many to Christ. My own family member is now saved due to Charlie Kirk.
The error man can do does not negate the WORD of God, the truth that the same man may have spoken – because GOD’s Word shall always “accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11
Judas was sent by Jesus to preach the Gospel, heal the sick, raise the dead, etc. See Matthew 10:1-8. Then after that, Judas sinned and betrayed the Son of God. Should we believe that Judas’ sin thereafter somehow negates, does away with the work God accomplished through him previous to his rebellion?
Now I hear and heard Charlie saying he salutes the Mormons due to their sending missionaries all over the world, etc. Not good. I don’t think Charlie knew the slightest bit about what Mormons really believe. I remember after being saved that I thought Mormons were just another Christian group, till I was pulled aside and enlightened by true disciples. Had Charlie been enlightened to what Mormonism really is, he’d have denounced them as he did the Catholic church, who he started out believing were true. He later found out what they believed and denounced it. Is it a sin to be immature in the faith, to not understand everything? No. If that were the case why would God have ever address those immature in the faith? Hebrews 5:11-14; 1 John 2:14
Has God used you?
Does God use imperfect vessels?
Surely you wouldn’t claim sinless perfection, would you? (Job 9:20; Proverbs 20:9; 1 John 1:8-10)
Isn’t finishing strong in faith in Christ what is most important? Yes (2 Timothy 4:6-8).
What about Noah who got drunk? (Genesis 9:21)
How about Abraham who lied and even adulterated with his Egyptian handmaid? (Genesis 16)
What about Moses who killed a man and also struck the rock instead of speaking to it as God instructed him to do? (Numbers 20)
How about David who committed adultery with Bathsheba and then had her husband murdered and then sought a cover up? (2 Samuel 11-12).
No this does not justify sin and yet, God is just and holy and yet He’s merciful to His own, as they repent (Psalms 103:10-12).
Can you disprove the veracity of the above?
“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 2 Timothy 2:19
Charlie Kirk vs Vodie Bauchum
Bauchum, like Washer, Piper, and MacArthur, spent his life pushing Calvinism, a false system of theology. Every false teacher shall have eternal “damnation” (2 Peter 2:1-3).
Voddie was close friends and Calvinist ministry cohorts with the likes of Paul Washer, John Piper, and John MacAthur, all Calvinist heretic false teachers. See Ezekiel 22:25-27.
The Idiocy of Calvinism
Some claim that Charlie Kirk pushed a false Christianity. Is that true?
In my opinion, Sam Adams seems to have no joy, the fruit of the Spirit…. (Galatians 5:22-23). He’s reading from a script in this video. Just because someone is exposing something doesn’t mean they are in the truth and giving a fair, thorough, just assessment of such. I’m not buying into Sam’s version of this. The facts seem to reveal something different. Sam is a hardshell baptist type and though he’s said some good things, he seems to be going dark. Remember, Sam Adams teaches the heresy of OSAS/eternal security, which was Satan’s first lie and it led to the fall of mankind then and is now doing so (Genesis 2:17; 3:4). The facts seem to indicate that Charlie finished in the faith. He rejected Catholicism and other cultic persuasions. Where were the Sam Adam’s when the young man was being misled? Were they reaching out to help him as did Aquilla and Priscilla when they encountered the young man Apollos when he needed help in maturing in Christ? Acts 18. Be careful what you listen to saints. | Eternal Security is a Life from Hell
Wisdom sees beyond the surface. Charlie was a young man whose discernment was very shallow at best. In the end, he died in the faith, declaring that it’s all about Jesus and that Jesus died for our sins to give us eternal life. Like Samson his life was spotted as are all of our lives. He defended the Bible and faith against a Mormon who was trying to convert him, literally seconds before he was assassinated. A month before that he denounced Catholicism as false. What many fail to understand is that every evil system of antichrists will come after those who have a platform, so that they can have that platform, they can seize that opportunity to get their evil message to the masses. The facts reveal that Charlie was gaining traction against these evil systems and that’s why they murdered him. He hard rejected, turned down $150 million to compromise with Israel. That’s the fair fruit we should see him by it seems (Matthew 7:16, 20).
Samson finished strong
“And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:” Hebrews 11:32
Reminder: The thief on the cross lived a whole life of sin. In his dying moment he called on Jesus and was forgiven, pardoned, and promised paradise. He’s been there with Jesus and the saints for 2,000 years (Luke 23:42-43).
“Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” 1 Timothy 2:4-6
Are we underestimating the mercy of God for “all men”? Are we looking for ways to exclude eternal souls from His kingdom? If YOU died right now, would there be things you did that people could isolate and blow up into a huge issue and yet ignore that you died in faith, you died in the faith?
“For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.” James 2:13
Have you fought a good fight? Have you fought a perfect fight, a fight with no sinful set backs?
Who did Jesus say was seeking to sift the apostle Peter?
“And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, SATAN hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.” Luke 22:31-32
This reveals to us that Satan who “walketh about seeking whom he may devour”—seeks to devour, to swallow up, to sift all who are in Christ—just as he did with Peter the apostle of Christ (1 Peter 5:8).
After being sifted by Satan and sinning, Peter was then restored to the LORD and soon after went forth to preach to 8,000 people who all repented and received Christ! See Acts 2-4.
As a recent example, do we think from the evidence that Satan sought to sift, to seduce, to devour Charlie Kirk? Yes he did and yet it seems that as it was with the case with Jesus and Peter, Charlie finished in faith.
Some choose to emphasize the things Charlie seemed to dabble in and yet ultimately openly forsook (Catholicism, compromising for money, etc.). They are dead set on him being in hell. They just can’t seem to get past his vulnerableness to temptation and sin, so easily forgetting all the temptation and sin God has saved them from AFTER He saved them.
SOMEONE might say “they are a MASON”! Even when there is no real proof and fruit that says otherwise. Well I was worse, a CATHOLIC! Which is a worse system. I was farther from God but not unreachable by Him. Thank You Jesus for finding and saving this wretch!
Is there more proof that Charlie Kirk was a mason or a Christian?
There are only 2 types of people on earth—saved and unsaved! Lost or found. Washed in the blood or not!
God is able.
None of us are the Savior (Luke 19:10).
God is love. God is holy. God is merciful. God is just.
One of the final things Charlie Kirk stated before he was assassinated. He could have said ANYTHING and here’s what he chose to say. Matthew 12:34 anyone? Jesus says we know people “by their fruit” and not by what some others are saying (Matthew 7:16, 20). Sticking with the facts.
Solomon had 1,000 women right?
What did he say of women?
“Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.” Proverbs 14:1
“Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.” Ecclesiastes 7:28
Have we seen anything of overt wickedness with Charlie Kirk? He was being courted, played, seduced by the enemy of souls and yet seemed to finish in faith as did Samson after a life of inconsistency. He did this while being surrounded by evil doers.
The fact that no one from TPUSA is calling for a real investigation is beyond suspicious in my opinion.
I don’t trust nor like Erika or any woman at the helm .
It appears possible that God blessed what Charlie did for HIM. The others were riding on God’s blessing upon Charlie. It’s all too typical to see that the pride of men leads them to believe they can do better, in this case, better than Charlie. We can count on this being a catastrophe as it always is. Perhaps they thought that getting rid of Charlie would be the best move (John 16:1-2). It seems now that these evil doers who surrounded Charlie will make a mess of TPusa. It will be controlled by Netanyahu and/or other evil interests. It seems plausible that they murdered him in order to take over his organization, just like Jezebel had her husband Ahab murder Naboth, murdered to take over his land. They offered him a sum of money to purchase his vineyard, but Naboth refused the money and so they murdered him to get his land. See 1 Kings 21. In this case apparently Netanyahu offered $150 million to Charlie Kirk for influence over TPUSA. Charlie refused the money and many believe it was his Israeli security detail that killed him.
