IS BETH MOORE Your Idol?
This is NOT an attack on Beth Moore but rather an expose’ of Beth Moore’s attack on the LORD. WHO do you love more?
If a person gets upset because the teachings and influence of their favorite mere human celebrity teacher are examined against Holy Scripture, perhaps this identifies an idolatrous worship of that person in lieu of the LORD Himself (Ezekiel 14:3; Zechariah 11:17; Matthew 6:24).
Does Beth Moore have nail scarred hands and feet? (1 Corinthians 2:2)
The first video shows her saying that the Catholic church is part of the true body of Christ which is a huge RED FLAG revealing Moore is part of Satan’s end time apostasy of bringing all the churches – daughters of the great whore – under the banner of the one world Babylonian, apostate church (Revelation 17-18).
ANY person or organization being used to corral people under the illegitimate authority of the pope and Rome, is under the delusion and dominion of “the spirit of antichrist” and being used to bring about the prophesied one world religion (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12; 1 John 2:18; 4:1-6; Revelation 17-18). “Come OUT of her my people” says the LORD or you will perish with her! (Revelation 18:4) | Catholic Corruption
ANY person defending an antichrist or antichrist system is still under the spirit of antichrist and should at once repent and put their full faith in Jesus Christ alone, the only One who bled to redeem us from our sins.
“I think it is so telling that none of the false teachers that people are heaping to themselves, ever warn their following about End-time false teachers who people are heaping to themselves. It is a dead give away. The reason is because they are “It”. If a believer does not know the Word of God and does not understand the abomination that eastern mysticism and Catholic spirituality and beliefs are, they will not be able to discern the incredibly cleaver deception that is about to flood the Christian World. These hugely influential leaders are going to convince multitudes that uniting with anyone who calls themselves a Christian is the Biblical plan for the Church. They are convinced they are taking Dominion in order to usher in Jesus and that they will undergo great persecution and resistance but they are really ushering in the Anti-Christ and his One World Religion. Ammaaazzzing! You can see it happening, as you listen to Beth Moore describe the future, as she sees it. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DECEPTION !” Karen
“Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?” Ezekiel 14:3
Any person who knows and loves the LORD Jesus Christ, is not even slightly impressed with the person or ministry of any mere man or men. The true disciple has rid his heart of all idols and only KING Jesus reigns there!
“… Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.” 1 John 5:20-21
“But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: 14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:” Exodus 34:13-14
Only the Son of God can save the individual and if one refuses to relinquish all idolatry, he cannot be saved. If my identity is in my religion, denomination, or pastor, hell awaits my wicked soul.
“Beth Moore’s church also allowed a Muslim speaker who apparently read verses out of the Quran and chanted. This ‘bishop’ explained it as we have a inter-faith ministry and we are open to all faiths. Inter-faith simply means one world religion (ecumenical/catholic).” Karen Cochran
“Thou shalt have NO other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3
The remnant of Christ’s elect identify themselves by their bold and unrelenting identification with the Person of Jesus Christ.
Cease today looking to a human idol. Repent and ask the LORD to forgive this vile sin. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN – in the sense of trusting and learning of the LORD. DO NOT depend on any man or system or you will not be with Christ. God sent His Son – not any other mere sinful man, system, pastor, or religion. It’s only in His only begotten Son that He is pleased and in those who are IN HIM – the divine Person of Christ whom He sent that we might know Him (John 17:3).
“NO OTHER” – get it? “Thou shalt have NO OTHER gods before me” saith the LORD Almighty (Exodus 20:3). Do we think this is the very FIRST commandment by accident?
To illustrate how so many people simply want to be entertained and so really could nearly care less about the content of what someone is talking about (Acys 17:11; 2 Timothy 4:2-4). To illustrate this, concerning Beth Moore, Cynthia A. notes:
“She could go out and talk about a toothpick and people would be in awe! I can hear it now! ‘I was in a restaurant and I saw a toothpick, and it came to mind. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. You know what I am saying, ladies. I know you do because I see some of you nodding your heads! You know that feeling when you have a million things to do…drop the kids off at school, ball games, and prom dresses to pick out, the last thing you need is to meet someone with spinach in your teeth. God put that toothpick there for a reason…USE IT!!! Don’t get caught with spinach in you teeth. That is how the enemy steals your confidence. Does somebody get what I am saying!!!!’.
I used to watch her. She preaches self-esteem. She will take bits of verses and put them together and makes them what she wants them to be. I would never falsely accuse as that would make me as bad as she is. She is an emergent church apostate who leads people to the contemplative prayer, “Christian” yoga, “the god within prayer” which is an abomination to God.”
“I don’t think too many people consider the fact that if ANY one or ANY thing is on our minds more than GOD then it’s an idol.” Kim T.
“TRUTH!!!! That’s y they never talk about repentance… Awesome post .. I pray that all who follow them wake up soon before they all fall with them…. Anyone who doesn’t preach repentance is NOT for the true one and only Jesus.. I notice too about them.. They never go deep into the bible.. It’s always faith and prosperity which is not the GOSPEL at all… GBY.” Anna S.
“I put one her videos on about a year ago. The title was great! I had never heard of her. I was like, honey–just call yourself your a poor story teller and give it up! Nothing like the Bible! And people PAY her to this!!! She is somebody who always wanted to go into acting….blah. Sorry…I was just soooo let down!” Pamela M.
“I have no interest in all these women that think they are great teachers/preachers….they have ruined many women that try to copy them. They get their plastic surgery and make tons of money merchandising the gospel, to pay for it!” Joyce H.
“Too many women are too hungry for a woman to follow after. They will elevate the woman above the Truth of God, and He will never share His Glory. Beware the Jezebel spirit~ Often women will listen to a she~wolf simply because they are too offended to learn from the godly, biblical teaching of men. They are easy prey for the female false prophet who is seeking to devour them. Flee from evil! ~In Jesus name!” Bonnie R. Hutchins
“This is the problem with America today…and all the False Teachers in the pulpits and churches! God’s judgment starts with them. For they are far worse than unbelievers! It is a sad state of affairs – when we have millions of souls thinking they are serving God. Yet, in reality they serve nothing but man – and themselves! The enemy IS very subtle in having the REAL thing look just like that of God..remember what Pharoah’s courts could do..when Moses went in to show them Gods power and might…but Moses serpent ended up eating theirs! BUT..it goes to show how many saw the powers that look so real…and how the enemy appears as a”light” and can deceive many! Spiritual Discernment is NEEDED more than ever…it is a gift..only Holy Spirit can give..IF he is living within you as a true believer..for even the very elect can be deceived! We can still preach Gods word..spread the Gospel message FREE….without becoming RICH off it! Beth Moore is and has been into the ~~Emerging Church~~~ Apostasy for a very long time! She believes in Contemplative Prayer..a newer form of prayer that brings in Eastern Mythical beliefs! She also condones and promotes MANY of these people for their books and beliefs as well on New Age techniques! A very good website to get on and learn from is~ Lighthouse Trails~ they expose MANY False Teachers!” Frances P.
From lighthousetrailsresearch.com :
“[I]f we are not still before Him [God], we will never truly know to the depths of the marrow of our bones that He is God. There’s got to be a stillness.”–Beth Moore (In her book, When Godly People Do Ungodly Things), Moore says that “practicing God’s presence” has become extremely important to her; she points readers to Brennan Manning several times in the book and suggests that his contribution to “our generation of believers may be a gift without parallel” (p. 72). Her participation in Richard Foster’s DVD project, Be Still, and her recanting of an apology for being in the film which included a promotion of the Be Still contemplative message backs up Moore’s statements about Manning and the stillness.”
In essence, biblical meditation is thinking; and contemplative New Age meditation is simply not thinking … and that is something to think about.”
Concerning meditation, Richard Epps notes:
“All the eastern religions seek to eliminate the thought and yet the most productive thoughts are to meditate on the Wisdom of GOD in its many facets and there are many.”
Of Beth Moore’ teachings, carm.org concludes:
“We must be very careful when listening to a teacher. Beth Moore, in my opinion, is not to be trusted to properly teach from the word of God. She is leading many astray with her approval of contemplative prayer, personal revelations, and faulty biblical exegesis. Yes, I know that many claim to have been helped by her. That is fine, but the experience of feeling helped is not where truth lies. Rather, it is God’s word that is the standard of what is good and bad, not if we are helped through the wolf of pop psychology in Christian terminology. Therefore, I cannot endorse Beth Moore.”

FEEDBACK:
“This is so spot on! My ex pastor praises this women! She is the best of them all at Bible-twisting! I took a copy of When Godly People Do Ungodly Things, Page 121. I showed him how she quotes Catholic mystics and practices contemplative prayer. He shouted at me that, ‘If it was not for Beth Moore’ that he could not get up every Sunday and preach the gospel!” Cynthia A.
“Last week’s (Beth Moore) study I went to, she spent an hour and a half TALKING about John 1:1. It was excruciating. She tells personal stories and hardly ever talks about salvation. It’s all about self esteem with her, you have to value your self and know you are priceless in the sight of God. How can we be priceless in the sight of God if we are walking in sin and damnation?? I give her the OSAS preacher stamp. I’m not going to finish the study book I have, might just throw it away.” A. S.
“Thank you for continuing to sound the alarm. The Beth Moore industry is truly another illustration the spiritually impoverished mainstream.” Mark Case, ProclaimIt.org
“Great stuff. I was hoping someone would call out the errors in Beth Moore’s teachings. She’s right up there with Bill Hybels, Joel Osteen and others. Thanks for this article. I gladly shared. Keep on keeping on my friend.” Steve Sande
“Beth Moore never says a word about salvation or repentance. It is all self-esteem. To be a Christian you have to be lowly, and hated by the world. It is much easier to sit under these people and hear how great we are, but we are not. I have the fear for the Bride of Christ…she will come out of them. On Page 121 of her book “when godly people do ungodly things” she quotes Brother Lawrence, a Catholic mystic, and writes that this is her life’s goal. Jesus said I will never leave you, nor forsake you, yet with contemplative prayer you have to give God permission to come down to you… I think people that like Beth Moore keep the focus on man and not on the return of our blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, which is our hope. They never warn we are in the last days, and that we should be leading people to the Lord.. Beth Moore uses a few of words God to promote the many words of her own. Jesus taught us how to pray, she teaches a different and dangerous way. Jesus taught us to humble ourselves. She teaches the lifting up of one’s self. Jesus gave the Gospel for free. She charges to get in. Her simulcasts are upwards of 3000,00, then the churches charge $10-20 a ticket. What of the poor? She dresses like a china doll and speaks from high and lofty places. To see her in person can cost $100.00’s a person. If one is looking for the Gospel it can be found where it has always been. Perhaps on a street corner, or where we least expect to find our it, but always hated, despised, and rejected my men. The was one who lifted himself up, who should have been humble…..Lucifer. The was one who was the Most High and became a lowly…..Jesus. Please, my dear Christian friends, we need to wake up. Time is short. The spirit of Antichrist is here.” Cynthia A.
I wrote the following to a man who asked who Beth Moore was and “why should I care?”:
Reply:
You should care because:
- Beth Moore is a teacher/celebrity who influences millions,
- If you love Jesus you will obey Him and “care” for those she is misleading and “mark” her so others can be warned and protected (Jude 3-4; Romans 16:17-18, etc.).

“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves (harvest, eternal reward) with him.” Psalms 126:5-6
“The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” Psalms 34:18
“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.” Psalms 51:17
“Blessed are the poor in spirit (desperate for God): for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:3
“Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4
The words “mourn” and “mourning” appear 96 times in God’s Word. Ever heard a message on it?
“Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” James 4:9-10
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10
“Sowing in tears suggests a time of hardship or distress, possibly due to famine, exile, or personal trials. The imagery of sowing is often used in Scripture to represent the act of investing or laboring in faith, even when circumstances are difficult. This can be connected to the Israelites’ return from Babylonian exile, a period marked by sorrow and uncertainty. The tears symbolize the pain and suffering endured during such times, yet they also imply hope and trust in God’s promises. The act of sowing, despite tears, indicates faith in a future harvest, a theme echoed in Galatians 6:9, which encourages perseverance in doing good.
will reap with shouts of joy
Reaping with joy signifies the fulfillment of God’s promises and the reward for faithful endurance. The transformation from tears to joy highlights the redemptive power of God, who turns mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11). This phrase assures believers that their labor and suffering are not in vain, as God will ultimately bring about a joyful harvest. The joy of reaping is not just personal but communal, reflecting the collective celebration of God’s people when His promises are realized. This concept is seen in the return of the exiles to Jerusalem, where their restoration was marked by joy and thanksgiving. The imagery also points to the eschatological hope found in Revelation 21:4, where God wipes away every tear, and eternal joy is established. The phrase can be seen as a type of Christ, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him (Hebrews 12:2), illustrating the ultimate sowing in tears and reaping in joy.”
“Psalms 126:5
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy – This is either a maxim which they gather from their own history, or it is a fact which they are now witnessing. We see the benefit of humbling ourselves under the mighty hand of God; we have now a sweet return for our bitter tears. Or, We have sown in tears; now we reap in joy. We are restored after a long and afflicting captivity to our own country, to peace, and to happiness.” Adam Clarke
“126:5, 6 The first year after their return would be especially difficult. There would be no crops to harvest right away. They would have to make a fresh start by planting their crops and waiting for harvest time. It would be a period of austerity, of doling out the meager food supplies as frugally as possible.
There would be a certain sorrow or frustration about sowing the seed for that first crop. Here is a farmer whose barrel of grain is low. He can use the grain to feed his family now or he can sow most of it in hope of an abundant supply in days to come. He decides to sow it, but as he dips his hand into his apron and scatters the seed over the plowed land, his tears fall into the apron. He is thinking of his wife and children, of the skimpy bowls of porridge, of how sacrificially they will have to live in the days till harvest. He feels as if he is taking food out of their mouths.
But a cheering word goes out to the returned exiles:
He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. So they go forth and sow the seed. Their present anguish will be more than compensated by the joy of bringing their sheaves of ripened grain to the barn.
The principle applies also, of course, in the spiritual realm. Those who live sacrificially for the spread of the gospel may endure present privation, but what is that compared to the joy of seeing souls saved and in heaven worshiping the Lamb of God forever and forever?
It is true also in the matter of soul winning. Someone has wisely said, ‘Winners of souls are first weepers for souls.’ So our prayer should be:
Let me look on the crowd as my Savior did,
Till my eyes with tears grow dim.
Let me view with pity the wandering sheep
And love them for love of Him.”
—Author unknown” Believer’s Bible Commentary
“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30
“Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.” Psalms 2:8
You are the LORD’s—”Ye are bought with a price”
“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Many who were bought by the precious blood of Jesus are now serving mere men – they are serving men who are building their own kingdom instead of Christ’s kingdom.
“Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.” 1 Corinthians 7:23
JESUS did not come and die on the cross and rise again from the dead to make you a “good church member” or so you could squander your one life on politics. “Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:60). If you are not actively seeking His face for and participating in executing His Great Commission mandate, you are out of the will of God (Matthew 28; 18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 24:47; Book of Acts). Read that again. Share.
All who committed to Christ are absolutely committed to His stated will—the Great Commission.
“Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:60
Jesus repeatedly declares to us the commission He’s sent us on and for which we shall all give personal account.
“Go thou and preach the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:60
All who committed to Christ are absolutely committed to His stated will—the Great Commission.
Those who have forgotten, and are not obeying Christ’s Great Commission command, clearly reveal that they have forgotten and departed from Christ. Matthew 7:21
“And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. 4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:3-4
“It seems the remnant is sensing the urgency of responding to God’s call as they see the hour is late. They are seeing the need to invest in things that are lasting and eternal not temporal. Satan knowing his time is short is coming down with great fury and wrath and will manifest himself with great intensity (Revelation 12:12). As we are beginning to see, Satan wants to take as many souls with him into the eternal flames as possible. Be awakened to the Great Commission that the Lord has called us to (Matthew 28:18-20). Win souls to Jesus so they can be in Glory with Him forever and not burning in the eternal flames of fire from which there is no escape.” Karen Cochran
The Harvest Is Plentiful, the Laborers Few
“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, HE WAS MOVED WITH COMPASSION ON THEM, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:35-38
Jesus’ compassion that HE puts in us immediately causes them to respond to Him… endears them to Him as their hearts are crying out for Him and His mercy. Amen.
ARE THOSE not engrossed in the Great Commission mandate of Jesus, wasting their one life on earth? Read that again and repent. Obey God. Read the end of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Then Acts. Now.
Let’s roll saints! Ministry updates.
“People are more sold out and supporting politics than surrendering to Jesus Christ and supporting sharing the Gospel. Temporal over eternal is wrong every time.” Dana Phyllis Carter
IF you are not participating in the the “Father’s business,” the Great Commission, it’s because you are full of your self, evil hearted, self-centered….. and in need of true repentance before it’s too late—which will always bring forth the fruit of obedience, of good works, of Great Commission action (Matthew 3:7-10). Repent now and when you do, for real, you are going to scamper, hasten, to fervently seek the face of the Almighty and be all about HIS business, not your own. The reason you’ve been doing your own business and not His, is because you do not know Him (Matthew 7:21). The Great Commission mandate is seen here Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 2:49; 24:47, 49; Book of Acts.
When God matters to you, when you love Him, truly, His work, His mission matters to you.
IF you claim to be saved and aren’t doing YOUR part in the Great Commission…. it’s time to repent. Anyone not doing the mission of Christ is lukewarm at best.
The true remnant body of Christ is about the “Father’s business” of edifying the saints and winning the lost—not their own or any other business. While on earth Jesus said “I must be about my Father’s business” and those who are truly following Him are doing the same (Luke 2:49).
May all who are godly pray for increase in order to increase Christ’s kingdom and not their own standard of living in this fleeting sinful world but rather their standard of giving to His work so others can be saved and the saints of Christ equipped, nourished, fed, fruitful and blessed (2 Corinthians 9:6-11; Ephesians 4:28).
“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” Deuteronomy 8:18
The Great Commission is the Father’s Business and all who are known of Christ are participating. Notice how if you are truly a member of Christ’s bride, you are busy about HIS business—“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely” (Revlation 22:17).
All of God’s people are LOSERS …. We lose, we give up our own lives in this world to gain HIS—resurrection life now and forever.
As God is stripping us through the daily cross life, the persecutions, the fruit-bearing resurrection victory is going to transpire in our lives!
“As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” Romans 8:36-37
“I welcome His stripping. Throw me in the fire of affliction dear Lord. Because the more of His resurrection life is breathed into you the more you want!” Karen Cochran
The Great Commission: Jesus is Holding YOU Accountable to participate with the other members of His remnant body.
Weeping Men also Protect Others, Protect Christ’s Body
Here’s the passage—please read this carefully:
“(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.) 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.” Philippians 3:18-21
The 3 Ways God’s People Participate in Christ’s Great Commission
1. Praying for Christ’s labourers (Matthew 9:35-38).
2. Witnessing, sowing and communicating the Word (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 8:11).
3. Supporting, supplying those of God’s people who are doing His Great Commission, preaching the Word (Matthew 6:1-21; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11; Philippians 2:25; 4:16-20).
YOUR PRAYER
Father, in Jesus’ name, please grant Your people that heart of flesh to be “moved with compassion” upon those who do not yet have You as their Great Shepherd. Break me dear LORD, please. Use me for Your glory in this last hour as we are on the precipice of Your return dear LORD, Master Jesus! In Jesus’ name.

“Lord, I Believe; Help Thou Mine Unbelief” [podcast]
“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” Mark 9:23-24
God wants us to depend on HIM, not self. What a prayer from this father who was seeking Jesus for his possessed, embattled son!
“And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” Mark 9:24
Now that is a great prayer for us today—“Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” Mark 9:24
Is this not kin to the prayer Christ’s disciples prayed to Him—“And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith” (Luke 17:5) ?
Some ask “Lord, how can I increase MY faith?”
Read that again.
It’s not how I can increase my faith! No. That is all self-centered. We pray as did the apostles, “Lord, Increase our faith.” In other words, You do it please dear LORD!
There are two ways the Word prescribes that we walk in more faith:
Asking for it (Luke 17:5)
Reading and heeding the Word for it—“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).
“9:24 The father expressed the paradox of faith and unbelief experienced by God’s people in all ages. ‘Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!’ We want to believe, yet find ourselves filled with doubt. We hate this inward, unreasonable contradiction, yet seem to fight it in vain.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
Another person commenting on this text writes:
“Help thou mine unbelief – That is, assist me against it. Give me a power to believe.”
“[Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief] A prayer that all can pray with great profit.” Dake
“VII. The profession of faith which the poor man made hereupon (Mrk_9:24); He cried out, ‘Lord, I believe; I am fully persuaded both of thy power and of thy pity; my cure shall not be prevented by the want of faith; Lord, I believe.’ He adds a prayer for grace to enable him more firmly to rely upon the assurances he had of the ability and willingness of Christ to save; Help thou my unbelief. Note, 1. Even those who through grace can say, Lord, I believe, have reason to complain of their unbelief; that they cannot so readily apply to themselves, and their own case, the word of Christ as they should, no so cheerfully depend upon it. 2. Those that complain of unbelief, must look up to Christ for grace to help them against it, and his grace shall be sufficient for them. ‘Help mine unbelief, help me to a pardon for it, help me with power against it; help out what is wanting in my faith with thy grace, the strength of which is perfected in our weakness.’ Matthew Henry
Learning to trust and depend upon our LORD:
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” James 1:5-8
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:5
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6
“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27
“All it takes is a mustard seed of faith to move mountains. Meaning even the smallest of faith can do miracles. It is belief in God not in self that matters. Mark 11:22 says ‘Have faith in God.’ He will provide the increase. Even the disciples prayed for more faith! And we know them to be men of great faith!” Karen Cochran
LET’S PRAY: Holy Father, we come to You now, because we know You are our Source for all blessings and answered prayer. Yet, we lack faith and ask You now to “Increase our faith” and to “help thou mine unbelief.” Please fill in dear LORD where we lack, where we are weak. We know You are all powerful, loving, and desire to and are ready to answer our prayers. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

All these fake Christians are an abomination to the Word of God. So many out there. Even Trump was fooled by Paula White because sadly Trump had no discernment he let this disgraceful woman pray over him. But it’s okay, God says that he uses the weak and foolish ones to confound the “wise.” There is still hope for Trump in being used by God if he himself admits and sees these phony fake Christians who did the same thing with Obama….wolves in sheep’s clothing…..all such evil diabolical fools who sold themselves out….we can only hope that more and more real believers wake up and see the lies and fools among them and come out of this cesspool of fakers and frauds and stand firm in what we know to be true. What good is it for a man or woman to gain the whole world but forfeit their soul? So many evil people everywhere in high positions so many my God it’s overwhelming at times, isn’t it? We feel overwhelmed by such liars and frauds and evil people, but take heart….these things must happen to usher in the antichrist, the one who will come and want us all to take that mark of the beast, right? Right. So be awake, be alert, don’t be fooled…we can’t lose heart because HE who is in us is GREATER than he who is in the world…GOD will win. God is in control. God knows what is going on. God sees all this evil and confusion and all the people who mislead so many people walking them off a cliff, selling lies and evil but we know who we belong to and who we must follow. Never give up. Never give in. At the name of Jesus EVERY knee shall bow and EVERY tongue shall confess that JESUS IS LORD. We don’t bow to anyone to appease the masses. We won’t bow to the evil ones. We are covered by the blood of Christ and we know that our Lord is the only one we can trust because there is no other name under heaven by which anyone can be saved than by the name of JESUS CHRIST the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. God save us all. Be safe be smart. Stay the course. Semper Fi.

Amen brother. Semper Fi to Jesus Christ, right! Psalms 2. As you said Heaven’s KING is coming and it’s not going to be pretty for the wicked! Blood bath to the horse’s bridle! Explosive is an infinite understatement! Revelation 19:11-16. Blessings in Christ to you and your family brother.
