Update: Recently someone sent me a new video from Jim Staley. Regrettably, he continues to push the heresy that one must understand the old before they can understand the new.
This is heresy. He’s teaching that we who are born again, the Holy Ghost (divine Teacher) indwelling us, CAN’T understand the things of God under the NEW Covenant we now live in if we don’t first understand the mere types and shadows that were under the old testament. 100% a lie. Beware. Jim Staley is a typical judaizer who sees the new through the old, instead of seeing the old through the New Testament. Read Hebrews 8-10 which informs us that the New Covenant replaced the old and is infinitely superior to it. Staley seeks to seduce saved-by-grace-through-faith NEW Testament saints to go back under law-keeping for righteousness – that’s his end goal. Read Galatians and you will see that Paul would have him “cut off.” (Galatians 3:1-3; 5:12). No where in the New Testament Scriptures do we see such a statement – that NEW Testament saints can’t understand what’s written for them in the 27 book canon of the New Covenant Scriptures without knowing the mere types and shadows of the old covenant. This is “the spirit of antichrist” at work, denying that Christ has come in the flesh and died to take away law-keeping for righteousness, having paid in full for the sins of mankind, blotting out the law for rightesouness, taking it away (Romans 10:4; Colossians 2:14-19; 1 John 4:1-3). “It is finished.” (John 19:30) Read Galatians.
“Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.” Proverbs 25:14
These videos make it clear that Jim Staley is what the Bible calls “a novice” who is not fit to be in public ministry “lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.”
“Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.” 1 Timothy 3:6
Jim Staley seems to be the typical young guy here who vainly believes that because he can draw a crowd that he is a divinely called out pastor/elder. I am told that Jim has 60-70 church attendees. Yet, the videos seem to project him as a mega church pastor, whether intended or not. (video below)
Pray for this man. He seems to clearly attempt to position himself as spiritually superior to others, wielding his witchcraft over them in order to gain that top position in their lives – In place of Christ! THAT IS the “spirit of antichrist” which means “in place of Christ“! (Colossians 2:8-10, 18-19; 1 John 4:1-3, etc.). | Seminary Scam Industry (video) It’s the Nicolaitan leadership Jesus hates (Revelation 2:6, 15). Nico = conquer. Laity = the people.
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power …. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.” Colossians 2:8-10, 18-19
When we allow a man to overcome us by lies, seeking to position himself over us and between us and God, dissing Jesus the only Savior/Mediator, that is witchcraft.
“for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.” 2 Peter 2:19
When we allow a man to “overcome” us with lies, he then brings us “in bondage.”
Paul said: “Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.” (2 Corinthians 1:24) This is Nicolataine lies which Jesus said He hates! (Revelation 2:6, 15) Nico-Laitane is two words conjoined. Nico means “to conquer” and “laintanes means “the people.” | THE DEEDS AND DOCTRINE OF THE NICOLAITANES
This is yet another airbag wolf. People are so gullible. WHY would anyone waste 60 seconds looking to this mere sinful man who doesn’t simply preach the Word? 2 Timothy 4:2-3 in fulfillment.
“These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.” 2 Peter 2:17
“These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;” Jude 12

FEEDBACK:
“I can’t tell you how frustrated I am with this anti-christ stuff. A few people have tried and tried to convert me to the HR (Hebrews Roots) movement, sending me Staley’s videos, books, etc. Sigh………..Honestly, I feel very sad for those who get led away from the Freedom found in Christ and are led right back into bondage and works of the law, trying to justify themselves before God. Did they not learn anything from Paul’s teachings on the matter? Unfortunately, some of the HR people completely reject Paul, saying he either was mistaken, a false prophet/teacher, or we just are misunderstanding his teachings.” Cindy W.

Are You a Follower of Jesus and Considering Moving to Mexico? [podcast]

Could the LORD be shaking off the dust of His holy feet against America?
“And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.” Matthew 10:14
HAPPENING NOW:
Just handed a tract to a man named Ruben. He said “Thank you. I’ve been searching and was thinking of visiting the JW (Jehovah Witness) church near me. Thank you.” Then a conversation ensued. He was informed that that JW and Mormons are cults. Ruben was given the law to convict, and saving Gospel, and exhorted to pray in repentance today and receive Jesus for the remission of his sins. He was told by way of testimony and the Word that Jesus is exactly Who he was looking for.
We exchanged numbers and will be meeting again soon. Please pray for this man. He’s in ripe mode if you will….. ready to repent and receive Jesus, Heaven’s Treasure, Salvation! Would you like to pause and lift Ruben in prayer?
*** Saints, as your brother in Christ, let me encourage you to dare pray something like this today if you are inclined: “Dear LORD, I am all Yours. You created me. You came and died for me. I am Yours. Please put me on Your planet, just exactly where You want me, and use me dear LORD! In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Saints the JW and Mormon cults are here in Mexico. There are few if any Christian missionaries. “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are 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
I don’t believe any American would regret moving to this great country. The peace and tranquility are off the charts. If you need someone to talk to, let me know.
One thing is certain, you will be immediately spoiled by the preciousness of the Mexican people and their acceptance of the message of Christ! You will minister to no one who won’t say “gracias.”
Are you printing out your supply of JESUS tracts to pass out daily? Never leave home without your supply of the Gospel of Jesus to share with others. Download Jesus tract PDF with one click here – English and Spanish
“Love this Jesus Tract! The other day, at the home we minister in (retirement home), Tom asked me to read this to the people as they usually follow along. Half way through it the reality of what Jesus did for me and all of us, on the cross hit me and the tears began to stream down my face. I could no longer read it. This tract is so filled with the truth and how much God loves us, even in spite of how wicked we are, how could anyone not be convicted?” Karen Cochran
“As this sanctification process happens in our hearts we will see more and more of Christ’s light shining in our hearts. Proverbs 4:18: “But the path of the just is the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” As we surrender daily, as we die to ourselves, as we die downward and are buried with Christ, Jesus’ resurrection life (newness of life) will shine brighter and brighter in our hearts! Until that perfect day when we shall be taken up into glory to be with our Savior forever. Then God’s glory will fill our hearts and the heavens! Until now let the Daystar arise in our hearts each day so His light can shine forth into this lost world. We are to be the light shining Christ’s light into this broken and dark world! Jesus alone is the Answer! His resurrection light! Glory hallelujah!” Karen Cochran
Francisco repented and received Jesus! As our LORD would have it, our paths crossed by divine ordination. Francisco was preached to and gladly received a Jesus tract. Upon showing him the prayer of repentance and faith on the back, he immediately raised his hands to pray. It caught me off guard, in a good way, and so he was instructed to pray in repentance and faith… as he was led, and he did, out loud, acknowledging that he has sinned against God and then calling on our LORD Jesus to forgive, save, wash away his sin.
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. … 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13
Beloved Francisco was showed and encouraged to download the Reina Valera Spanish Bible onto his devices and wake up to seeking God in His Word and prayer first thing each morning (Matthew 6:33). He was given the idea also of reading the Proverb of the day each morning.
This continues to happen here with these precious people. They are so hungry for Christ and only need someone to show, to lead them to Him. Several times when instructed to go home and pray in repentance and faith, they overtly lift their hands and hearts and begin praying right on the spot – which demonstrates that they’d been waiting eagerly to hear the message of Christ’s Gospel!
“HOW shall they hear without a preacher?” Romans 10:14
Ensuing his repentance toward God and faith toward our LORD Jesus (Acts 20:21), the discipleship began. We’ve already been communicating and he’s got the Born Again book in Spanish with three more of the ministry books which will be sent to him this week.
The life being lived with any other purpose except to please God and serve others, is a wasted, hell bound life.
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Psalms 90:12
“Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” Ephesians 5:16
Remember, flights back and forth from Texas to Mexico are only a 2-3 hour flight.

Is Romans 7 Before or After Paul’s Salvation?

“The truth is that while Christ dwells in the believer’s new nature, He has strong competition from the believer’s old nature. The warfare between the old and the new goes on continually in most believers.” AW Tozer
The law of God is “holy, and just, and good.” (Romans 7:12)
The holy law of God and the depraved nature of fallen mankind could not be further apart – the righteousness of God inherent in His law vs the “old man,” the iniquitous fallen nature of mankind (Ephesians 4:22; Colossians 3:9).
Nothing but a caustic reaction, explosion could be the result of the 2 colliding (Romans 7). One or the other must reign.
“For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.” Galatians 5:17
In what tense did the great apostle speak in when addressing this “old man” that wars against the Spirit in us?
“O WRETCHed man that I am! (presently) who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” Romans 7:24
Paul’s flesh was and our flesh is a constant reminder of the ever momentary need for the cross, burial, and resurrection grace of Jesus (Romans 6:3-10; 8:11; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20, etc.). Read Romans chapters 6-7 each morning this week.
“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.” Romans 7:18
No, the apostle wasn’t admitting to living in sin but rather that that “old man” – the flesh – was present and must be crucified with Christ daily. Is that not exactly what Jesus taught?
“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
I believe Romans 7 applies to both before and after one is saved …. Because if the saved person departs from the daily cross walk, that same “old man” will take center stage. “O wretch man that I AM (present)” (Romans 7:18) ….. we are born again children of God, saints of the Most High and yet that potential to evil, that “old man” must be crucified and “put off” by the daily cross so the “new man” can reign with Christ in this life and eternity. What Paul calls the “old man” must be “put off” and so we can conclude that there IS an “old man” to be “put off” otherwise no such instruction would have been given. We are not to deny the “old man” – the sinful bent – but rather to crucify it (Romans 6; Ephesians 4:22; Colossians 3:9).
Charles Pray writes: “So many want to hide their sins, especially those who like to appear Holy on the outside while inside they are dark, unholy ministers of the flesh. They have become a product of their own desires. Dear Lord, please bring them back to their first Love–Jesus! Amen.”
Saints, we cannot possibly begin to appreciate this “so great salvation” that is Christ until we understand how lost, helpless, and alienated we were in our sin (Ephesians 2:1-10; Hebrews 2:3). We must study to understand the biblical doctrine of inherent sin, fallen mankind, and the holiness of God …. in order to begin to be able to appreciate the redemption that is in Jesus Christ.
What to “Put Off” and What to “Put On”
“That ye put off concerning the former conversation THE OLD MAN, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on THE NEW MAN, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” Ephesians 4:22-24
“Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off THE OLD MAN with his deeds; 10 And have put on THE NEW MAN, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:” Colossians 3:9-10
“When we embrace the crucified life we are given overflowing rivers of new life! New life is breathed into us. Walking in the flesh only makes our soul sick with sin! And sin kills and destroys! (Romans 6:23). Rotting us from the inside out! But the way of the cross brings life to our flesh! (Proverbs 3:8, 4:22). Our flesh meaning our whole spirit, soul and body. 1 Thessalonians 5:23. We cannot be a whole person until we are completely given over to the Lord! And this can only happen through the cross. When we are dead and buried and raised up in the newness of life Jesus offers us, then the joy of the Lord will fill our hearts!” Karen Cochran

SHOCKING List of False Prophets Most Believe are True
Brad Maggard
March 28, 2024 at 6:52 pm
I’ve seen no proof of what you are saying. He doesn’t present himself as a megachurch. That is laughable. The camera shows his audience every so often and it doesn’t portray or try to portray a megachurch. What difference does it make a difference anyway? I know smaller churches that the spirit moves in, way stronger than the megachurches. I would be very careful as you are more on the lines of judging, not calling out sin. Everything I have watched of Jim Stanley comes right out of the Bible with the scripture, the book, chapter, and verse recited. Seems to me, you are judging this man for the crime he committed. All make mistakes and we are all cleaned by the blood of Jesus if we accept him and repent our sins. There are so many of you now pointing your finger at someone when ten fingers are pointing at you. The man seems very knowledgeable and maybe you resent his ability to explain the Bible. I have not seen any false teachings that I have seen. I ask you to post your evidence on Jim Stanley spreading false teachings. In fact I challenge you to do this.
Todd
March 28, 2024 at 7:12 pm
Okay Brad, let me get this straight, you are making the claim that I am wrongly judging Staley while you simultaneously judge me? Wow. Isn’t that hypocrisy? In other words you are saying that it’s ok for you to judge me with no specific evidence that warrants such all due to the soul tie you have created with Staley. Interesting. The fact that you claim that YOU haven’t seen any unbiblical doctrines that Staley is teaching is no evidence that he’s not teaching falsely. Staley is a judaizer. Do you know what a judaizer is? Have you ever read the book of Galatians? If he is a judaizer he is teaching “another gospel” and is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) The intent of exposing Jim Staley is to protect the body of Christ (Rom 16:17-18; Col. 1:28; Jude 3, etc.). Watch this and repent and cease defending, cease bidding God speed to the enemies of Christ. 2 John 10-11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-E2mflKEJw

I am not going to engage in an argument about a man’s faith, that is not our duty. Also, I never judged you, so please step down from the high horse. I only asked for proof, as your video proved nothing. The only statement I was making was to be careful, because I feel you are teetering judgement and calling out sin. That’s it. I was calling out a potential sin to give awareness so you can search deeper in the Lord to make sure where your heart is about your stance. I have not seen Jim Staley forcing the Hebrew movement. I do see him giving a Bible study to give a better understanding of some scriptures. I have been in Church since a very small child, and I’ve seen many preachers giving Hebrew meanings as well as Greek. Again, never judged you, only said be careful, meaning that I would pray, watch some more of Jim’s message, and see where you are at then. You only mentioned a few things in the video. This is not solid proof for me. Who knows, the more I watch him, the more I may lean on your side. Again, not going to argue a mans motives. That is not up to us. If he is a false profit, it will become evident to believers who study their Bible.
Todd
March 28, 2024 at 9:40 pm
If you will reread your first comment, you may see that yes, you did judge me. Not a bother to me at all, just pointing things out to help you to repent and truly get into God’s Word and cease making statements and conclusions that are not biblical. Memorize 2 Tim 2:15 KJB You make yet another un-scriptural statement when you say: “I am not going to engage in an argument about a man’s faith, that is not our duty.” Jesus says otherwise – “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matt (7:15-20)
If the evidence in those videos doesn’t prove to you that Staley is a false prophet, you are in need of getting saved. You are the one in sin for covering for a false teacher and so you need to not “be careful” but rather to repent.
Know the Truth and Do Not Conceal Lies or Liars
“Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou CONCEAL (cover for, defend) him.” Deuteronomy 13:8
Never “consent” to nor “conceal” an enemy of God lest you be the enemy of the LORD.
In Deuteronomy 13, we are instructed not to “conceal” a false prophet. In this specific case the LORD tells His people not to “conceal” any prophet who accurately foretells the future (prophesies), which actually does come to pass, yet seeks to lead God’s people astray through false teaching.
Those who have empathy for Satan’s agents and no mercy for those they’ve deceived and hurt, are pitifully demonic. Repent now you vile devil or you will go irrevocably to the same hell as those evil doers you defend! (Ezekiel 14:10; 2 Peter 2:1-3; 2 John 10-11)
The LORD is calling us to maturity in His holy fear. We are to come to the place where we refuse to conceal or hide any person operating as a Christian leader who is leading God’s people astray through his false doctrine.
The Deuteronomy 13 text holds an extremely important discernment key that will surely help save people from the deceptions that abound in today’s church-world. So many Christians today believe that, where there are miracles or accurate prophecies, it has to be of God. They do not consider though that the devil has always had power to unleash miracles.
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders. ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:9
A plethora of “strange fire” experiences and phenomena are being pawned off as being from God (Lev.10:1-2).
One of the biggest errors believers make is thinking that any miracle automatically validates that phenomenon as proceeding from divine origin. This is simply not true. All miracles, signs, and wonders are not from God. “Satan” works in our midst “with all power and signs and lying wonders.”
Deuteronomy 13:8 tells us not to “conceal” those who work against the LORD by leading people away from Him while claiming to be one of His leaders. God instructs us NOT to hide, make excuse for, or in any way cover for deceitful workers, and if we do, we become enemies of the Almighty.
The exposing of those who have determined to undermine the doctrines of the LORD is a matter of walking in obedience and truthfulness. “Lie not against the truth” (James 3:14).
Did you realize that those who befriend God’s enemies become the LORD’s enemies?
And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer (prophet) went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the LORD? Therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD. ~ 2 Chronicles 19:2
Those who “bid Godspeed” to false teachers enable and endorse and condone them. And, by doing such, make themselves the very enemies of Christ.
The reason you condone the evil wolves posing as Christ’s ministers is that you do not know Jesus but are rather a self-serving devil, full of self, refusing to repent for real.
“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.” 2 John 10-11
Apparently you are biblically illiterate since you continue to state YOUR own points using no Scripture.
If a man is publicly teaching false doctrine. He must be exposed by the true body of Christ (Rom 16:17-18). He never said “beware of judging other men’s motives.” He did say to “mark them” that teach false doctrine (Rom 16:17-18). Yet you are working for the enemy to question such – to question “earnestly contending for the faith once delivered to the saints.” (Jude 3) Jesus says to should the darkness from the housetops, boldly, with no fear of mere men (Matthew 10:26-28) Your own words and agenda are betraying you. “Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.” (Prov 20:11) Jesus says: “O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” (Matt 12:34)

Thanks for the link Tom. Here’s my comment under that Staley video you sent:
Regrettably, he continues to push the heresy that one must understand the old before they can understand the new.
This is heresy. He’s teaching that we who are born again, the Holy Ghost (divine Teacher) indwelling us, CAN’T understand the things of God under the NEW Covenant we now live in if we don’t first understand the mere types and shadows that were under the old testament. 100% a lie. Beware. Jim Staley is a typical judaizer who sees the new through the old, instead of seeing the old through the New Testament. Read Hebrews 8-10 which informs us that the New Covenant replaced the old and is infinitely superior to it. Staley seeks to seduce saved-by-grace-through-faith NEW Testament saints to go back under law-keeping for righteousness – that’s his end goal. Read Galatians and you will see that Paul would have him “cut off.” (Galatians 3:1-3; 5:12). No where in the New Testament Scriptures do we see such a statement – that NEW Testament saints can’t understand what’s written for them in the 27 book canon of the New Covenant Scriptures without knowing the mere types and shadows of the old covenant. This is “the spirit of antichrist” at work, denying that Christ has come in the flesh and died to take away law-keeping for righteousness, having paid in full for the sins of mankind, blotting out the law for rightesouness, taking it away (Romans 10:4; Colossians 2:14-19; 1 John 4:1-3). “It is finished.” (John 19:30) Read Galatians.
