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:

  1. Beth Moore is a teacher/celebrity who influences millions,
  2. 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.).

    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.

DETOX THE DEVIL OUT OF YOUR LIFE!

Your money doesn’t make you!

Your Mercedes doesn’t make you!

Your House doesn’t make you!

Only your Maker makes you!

— 2 EXPLOSIVE books that have ministered to many.  included is a personal testimony about being delivered from the heretical cult of the word of faith. Listen and pass this on by hitting share please.

Confessions of a False Teacher

Any preacher who is tickling your ears with the old recycled, worn out word of faith heresies is merely regurgitating what he’s learned from his wolf handlers, puppet masters. He has no life in God’s Word for himself and never has. He’s a counterfeit doing “ministry” for his own self-serving purposes as he leads others to attempt to use God to get what THEY want. There is no cross in this greed-driven, self-worshipping false gospel. These are “enemies of the cross of Christ.” (Philippians 3:18-19)

CONFESS THIS!

My Personal Testimony of Being Delivered from being a False Teacher

FEEDBACK:

“Man this guy is good! He hit the nail on the head on every point!” Mike C.

“Thanks. I have not followed their ministries for many years since we became wise to their wrong ways but I was slack in getting rid of the tapes etc. Really gives one a wakeup call though.” Gloria G.

Question Received:

“Don’t you think it takes money to preach the gospel and take the gospel to all nations? I am seriously wanting to know, I am not being funny. I am having questions since you are calling preachers I listen to wolves. Please explain, I am interested in your take on it.” Tammy

Reply:

Hi Tammy. Yes, it sure does take money to publish the original Gospel, namely on certain platforms, that is, communication mediums. Yet, we are often warned of “false prophets” who “make merchandise” of people for their own self-serving purposes (2 Peter 2:1-3; Philippians 3:18-19; Isaiah 56:10-12, etc.). The word of faith wolves are NOT preaching the original Gospel as given us in the New Testament Scriptures and so they are raising money under false pretense and to make themselves rich on that money – not to spread the original Gospel of Jesus which begins with the repent to “repent.” (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19, etc.). We are actually mandated to “earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints” in the original Gospel and so, we are to “contend” against these wolves, not fund them! To fund these deceivers is to bid them God speed and become the enemy of the LORD (2 John 2:7-11; 2 Chronicles 19:2).

Hypocrites or Disciples?

Is There a Difference Between a Disciple and a Hypocrite?

God-fearing people have integrity. They love the truth and are like Jesus, the table-flipping Son of God – they fearlessly call out and expose hypocrisy and hypocrites (Matt. 10:26-28). Read Matthew 23.

QUESTION RECEIVED:

“If someone loves God, prays, reads the Bible, wants nothing to do with worldly entertainment, loves the truth even when it hurts, but still struggles with a sin, is that person a hypocrite and a liar?  I have a few people that say things like that. They say that if someone is struggling with a sin that they really aren’t saved, being saved, born again. However you want to say it. Or they say that if you struggle with sin you don’t love God. I don’t get that at all, because isn’t the spirit at war with the flesh? I don’t know… It’s confusing!” Misty L.

RESPONSE:

The Bible speaks of us “striving against sin” (Hebrews 12:4) and that “the flesh lusteth (strives) against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh (Galatians 5:17-18) and so we know that is a war going on in our members.  The daily cross is to crucify that old man and his sinful deeds and as we do we are raised up by the Holy Ghost in His victory (Romans 6; 8:12-14, etc.) … we are to “fight the good fight of faith”and yet at times we fail but that doesn’t mean we are hypocrites (1 Timothy 6:12) In fact, as long as we are fighting – learning to live the crucified life – we manifest that we are Christ’s. Peter sinned against Christ in the worst way and Jesus did tell him to “get thee behind me Satan” but didn’t call him a hypocrite as He often called the religious posers, actors, the pharisees (Matthew 23). That’s actually the definition of a hypocrite – a poser or actor. When Jesus foretold Peter that he would deny Christ three times, the Son of God then told him that He would pray for him to be restored (Luke 22:31-32). Again, Jesus never called His disciples hypocrites though He had much opportunity to do so. Furthermore, Paul speaks of those believers who are “weak” in Romans 14-15.

We certainly are commanded to “Be ye holy as I am holy” and to “cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit” and to perfect “holiness in the fear of God.” (1 Peter 1:15-16; 2 Corinthians 7:1) This is accomplished by our submission to the LORD daily – presenting our bodies a living sacrifice – and the power of the Holy Spirit, raising us up in His holiness to bear fruit to the LORD glory (Romans 1:4; 6:1-23; 8:1-14; 12:1, etc.).

On this topic Theodore W. writes:

“It depends on personal attitude toward that sin. If one is struggling, and is humble repenting and praying to God for help, they are in the process of growth in their spiritual life. If they care nothing about sin and God, doing what they please, having NO remorse, then there is a good chance they are in eternal trouble.” Theodore W.

FEEDBACK:

“Misty asked a very good question. It is sad that so many self professing Christians don’t know the truth to her question. Looking to the Scriptural truth of God’s Word we find all the answers. Thank you brother Todd for all the Scriptures to back up your answer~! PRAISE GOD!” Darlene T.

“We have to keep our eyes on Jesus, and have faith that He will guide us in all things, and that He will give us strength to say no to the devil and his temptations. Thank you, brother, for answering me with gentleness and in truth. God bless you, and all others on this post!” Misty L.

“Amen, it’s such a joy to know that when we accepted the finished work of the cross, we’re no longer slaves to sin, that means we can say no!! and by the power of the holy spirit, he’s provided a way of escape, when we’re being tamped or struggling.” Paula W.

“1 John 1:8-10 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. ( I have met people who tell me they don’t sin, and they go to church and never have been born again, and you can discern that when you talk to them, there is no renewing of their minds, no spiritual words coming from spiritual thoughts.” Diane V.

The Cross Imperative [podcast]


The cross is not about self effort but rather self denial.

“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30

Dear LORD Jesus, please take all of me. Have Your way in this life.

“not my will, but thine, be done.” Luke 22:42

The cross, the blood of Christ’s cross is what He commanded we take up daily in order to follow Him (Colossians 1:20; Luke 9:23-24). The divine economy is a cross economy and that is the only way one can truly walk with the LORD, pleasing Him in all things. Pouring over the words of 2 Corinthians 4:10-12 is an imperative. Also reading Romans 6 each morning this week, prayerfully. Memorize Galatians 2:20; 5:24; 6:14. John 3:30 and Colossians 3:3.

You have to die if Jesus is going to reign in your life (Romans 6).

Most men pretending to represent Christ are so busy telling people how wonderful they are that they don’t have time to preach that Jesus is the only “Wonderful” One and that we are “desperately wicked” without Christ (Isaiah 9:6; Jeremiah 9:17; John 15:5; Romans 3; 7:17, 24, etc.).  The few true servants of Christ are known in that they preach the original Gospel of Christ which begins with us repenting, believing upon Christ, and then abiding, remaining in Him by denying self, taking up the cross daily and following the King (Luke 9:23-24; 13:3; John 15, etc).

Remember how Saul served God partially, didn’t count Him important enough to meticulously do His will, exactly how the LORD instructed him? Read 1 Samuel 15. Saul is ousted and so shall every half-baked fake “Christian” who makes excuses for their sins of ommission and commission – because they have not truly repented, flattened themselves before the Almighty. As was the case with Saul, so shall the LORD declare to all rebels – “Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” and Hell awaits (Matthew 25:41).

“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33 

Anyone who is not walking the way Christ mandated, the crucified life, is in rebellion.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.” 1 Samuel 15:22-23

Saul partially obeyed God and the LORD calls this unrepentant fake offering rebellion, sin, witchcraft, stubborness, iniquity, idolatry. Like Cain, Saul and his half truth partial offering to God were rejected.

Jesus says that to follow Him….

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.” Luke 9:23-24

Christ mandates your death and His reigning life in you.

“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3

“Until I embraced the cross, I had no lasting victory! No seed-bearing fruit, like clouds without rain, all promise but dry bones within. Christ will only indwell a vessel emptied of self and only he can give complete salvation to overcome all sin to be enjoyed at the marriage supper of the LAMB. Til then we press in abiding in Jesus, so that he may work in us his great salvation. (John 15; Rom 6; Php. 2; Col. 3; etc.) I die -> He raises me up.” Jon Crane

It seems that some among us have more faith, more confidence in themselves sinning than they do in God being able to forgive and establish them in His righteousness to overcome all sin. Jesus asks, “WHERE is your faith?” (Luke 8:25). It’s time to re-turn to the LORD, afresh, and to learn to apply the cross.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”  Galatians 2:20

Recently I saw a clip of a pastor saying that the #1 reason God hates sin is because He loves us and sin separates us from Him. While these things are true, what is missing?

Of holiness, one writer profoundly notes:

“Holiness speaks more to nature than it does conduct. Good conduct is the spontaneous byproduct of the new nature of the new creation man through the cross and death to the old nature. We are new creatures in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17-18). To preach holiness as conduct without the new nature through the cross understanding is legalism. Holiness is actually derived from ‘wholeness’ meaning the thorough transformation of the whole tripartite man (1 Thess. 5:23). So many of these ‘holiness’ preachers are preaching nothing but conduct under law. Law arouses sinful passions and causes sin to increase and was given in order to provoke transgressions (Rom. 7:5; 5:20; Gal. 3:20). They are enemies of the cross!”   

#1 reason God hates sin – is not because He loves you…. it’s Because He is holy! (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8; 1 Peter 1:15-16). And yes He loves His people also. It’s time to let Jesus reign in all things and cease making everything about us. HE is first.

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. … We love him, because he first loved us.” 1 John 4:9-10, 19

Does sin separate one – anyone – from God? Yes. Did God cease to be holy? No.

“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

“Death” means separation.

“But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:22-23

How do we know if we or others are truly “Christ’s”?

“And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.” Galatians 5:24

Interesting how we never hear verses, divine mandates – essentials, imperatives – such as the scriptural truth below:

“Awake to righteousness, and sin NOT…” 1 Corinthians 15:34

There are a few ministries which declare “stop all sinning,” etc.. Yet how?

How can we possibly preach holiness, something nearly no pastor does today…. and not be preaching the cross, the crucified life as the only answer?

Yes God mandates, requires, and fully expects each of His people to “Be ye holy; for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:15-16). Again, how? The crucified life.

The cross and nothing else is the LORD’s solution to overcoming sin. It’s only when God Himself is raising us upward out of the state of death and burial that victory is transpiring in our lives. Saying we are sinless perfection,  praying, reading the Bible, going to church, or fellowshipping with other saints, etc. is not the answer. These are all important and yet the cross is the answer to being right with our God. Nothing else is the answer, nothing is the remedy for sin but the cross of Christ and the one He commanded us to take up (Matthew 16:24-25). There is no other divine prescription for victory over sin but the cross. | Sinless Perfectionism Rebuked

Any man pretending to be a representative of Christ and not regularly preaching the crucified life, is a false teacher (Philippians 3:18-19; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; 6:14, etc.). Such a man is not teaching the original Gospel and so is teaching “another gospel” (Galatians 1:6-9).

Make Romans 6 your spiritual meat each morning this week. Read it prayerfully, asking God to teach you His ways.

“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Romans 6:3-4 

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, I here and now repent of my wicked sin, my rebellion, my unbelief, not trusting You, self-idolatry, and spiritual adultery. Please wash and cleanse me now dear LORD. Fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me Jesus in this last hour. In Jesus’ name, amen.
