COVERING Witchcraft Busted and Exposed! [podcast]
WHO is your covering?
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalms 91:1
SUMMATION of the Eternal Plan of God: Jesus Christ died on that cross, was buried, and raised again from the dead to save you so you could serve HIM and not mere sinful men (John 17:3; 1 Corinthians 7:23; Philippians 3:6-14, etc.). Beware of those who seek to intercept that vital, intimate union Christ died to secure! Jesus died, was buried, and raised again from the dead so that HE alone who can save would also be the LORD of the lives of HIS people! “For to this end (for this chief purpose) Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.” (Romans 14:9)
The “Covering” Doctrine of Control is the Invention of Devils! Beware!
IF you aren’t COVERED by Jesus you aren’t covered at all!!! Somebody is misleading you!
YOU are called to “liberty” and where the “Spirit of the LORD” dwells in the life of the born again abiding (obedient) believer, “there is liberty.” (2 Corinthians 3:17)
Jesus Christ is the only covering, the only “Head” for the true blood-bought New Testament saint and anyone seeking to bring you under some other counterfeit “covering” is an absolute wolf from hell! Those who deceive their gullible prey by convincing them they need their mere sinful human “covering” are operating in pure witchcraft and usurping the place reserved for Christ alone in the life of every blood-bought individual believer (Colossians 2:18-19).
Only One bled to purchase you out of sin and from Satan and into His eternal family!!! He alone is worthy of your worship and no other!
YOU’VE BEEN PURCHASED BY JESUS AT THE CROSS! JESUS is your “HEAD” and you are submitted first and foremost to Him who shed His sinless blood to buy you back from sin (RE-deem). Nothing, no relationship is to supersede this one! Jesus Christ Himself must be the very “first love” or He is no love at all (Revelation 2:4-5). Most who preach a heavy submission to men and their supposed self-appointed “authority,” the “covering” witchcraft doctrine, intentionally never preach on the believer’s relationship, identity, and submission to the “HEAD” of the body, the nail scarred risen LORD and Savior! Beware! Become intimately familiar with 1 Corinthians 7:23; 2 Corinthians 1:24; 8:5; Colossians 2:4, 8-10, 18-19.
None of this denies proper submission among believers yet it forcefully rebukes the undue control of the few who attempt to bring other believers under their own control unduly. The Bible addresses this evil. Make no mistake: The false covering doctrine is only in the interest of those false leaders perpetrating it and at the expense of those under their abusive control.
In these camps, some more out in the open than others, these false leaders coerce their cult following to submit to them unduly and to submit all the decisions of their lives. They teach that believers should not trust God for themselves, firsthand, but rather be forced to go to their so-called spiritual authority, covering, to ask permission on who to marry, who they can date or not, where to live, if they can move or change jobs, etc. Pure witchcraft! Run.
“For to this end (for this chief purpose) Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.” Romans 14:9
IF JESUS CAN’T COVER YOU, CERTAINLY NO MERE SINFUL MAN CAN! WHO WILL YOU TRUST?
Do you know what the “covering” doctrine is? Perhaps an quick overview here. Proper submission one to another in the body yes, but the covering doctrine is witchcraft, undue control where people are forced to go to the pastor they are under the control of to ask him if they can move, get a new job, if they can date a certain person etc…..Any person who has been involved in a covering cult type local church situation and has since been delivered can tell you just how evil this is.
The blood purchased individual priesthood of the believer should never be infringed upon (1 Cor 7:23; Col 2:4, 8-10, 18-19, etc.).
The warlocks who perpetrate the demonic “covering” doctrine over the gullible want you to submit to them but they don’t want to equally submit to you: “Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble” (1 Peter 5:5). these agents of satan want you under their so-called “covering” so they can control you life! pure witchcraft!
Saints, let’s beware of the controlling people in ministry. Make no mistake, undue control is witchcraft. Yes Jesus addressed this very witchcraft in Revelation 2:6, 15…. the Nico-laitans. Nico means to conquer and laitans means the people….. conquering the people through positioning oneself above them supposedly by title, position, seduction, influence, manipulation, etc.
It seems apparent that Jesus hates the deeds and doctrines of the nicolaitans because they are interfering with, intercepting the relationship, headship of those they prey upon! Jesus Christ is the only HEAD of HIS blood-bought body and each member therein! So it stands to reason that any person daring to interfere with that relationship, is under divine judgment. Beware! (Colossians 1-2).
Attempting to exercise control over another person is witchcraft and it’s always perpetrated by those who don’t even have their own life in order. Jesus calls them hypocrites and if they don’t repent, they are 100% guaranteed to be in hell (Matthew 7:2-5). “Witchcraft” is a soul damning sin (Galatians 5:19-21). All “sorcerers” are as sure for hell and the lake of fire as if they were already there! A sorcerer is anyone who uses drugs or anything else in order to control another person – to kill them, to manipulate them, etc.
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and SORCERERS, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8
“For without are dogs, and SORCERERS, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” Revelation 22:15
Witchcraft Exposed | Nicolaitan Wolves Exposed (Shocking Expose’ of False Ministers)
BEWARE of the manipulating evil workers who would dare use against you a past sin you’ve already been forgiven for. GOD is our Judge and He is merciful, gracious, and ready to forgive! (Psalms 86:5, 15).
“Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” Romans 8:33-34
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“Who is your “covering”? I am submitted to my pastor. To whom he will give an account to god how I was under his care Heb 13:17. And acts 2 they were under apostles teaching.
Ephesians 4 – gave apostles… for the saints. No covering, not biblical.
Dude who hurt you??? I feel for you. Hiding behind these verses to justify you’re rebellion trying to sound spiritual. I’ve seen this too many times. Prayers.
REPLY:
Also, in Acts 2:42 we read that “the apostles doctrine” was continued in by the earliest saints of Christ but that doctrine, those teachings did not include and in fact rebuke, contradict undue control over “God’s heritage.” (1 Peter 5:1-6) Accountability to other believers is to be grounded on what God’s Word states and does not include undue control where mere sinful men make themselves “lords over GOD’s heritage.” (1 Peter 5:1-6)
WHO is your so-called “covering”? THERE’S only 1 COVERING for the disciple of Jesus and that’s the Almighty Himself, not some fraud positioning his sinful self over you which is pure witchcraft!
god or God? Also, WHO is your pastor submitted to? AND who is that mere man submitted to? And all the way up the line….. The point is that someone some where has to submit to the LORD…. you are in a catholic system, where you have been taught that you have to submit to them. Same thing as what you are in. You don’t yet realize it but you are under a spirit of witchcraft…. through wolves who’ve convinced you that you need THEM. You see instead of preaching CHRIST to you they’ve convinced you to submit to them, mere sinful men as your so called “covering” which is a sham. There’s only one divine covering – “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” (Psalms 91:1)
Jesus addresses this exact “covering” witchcraft doctrine. The Son of God says He specifically hates the evil, controlling, witchcraft deeds and doctrines of the “Nicolaitanes” which means “control/conquer the laity” or the people. This is what deceivers and false apostles do (Revelation 2:6, 15) Nicolaitans – NICO means to conquer and LAITANS means the people! Nicolaitans means conquer the people!
This covering heresy is basically the catholic model where mere sinful men place themselves between Jesus and His people.
Beware!
“I was raised catholic, and this whole “Covering” idea is, to me, nothing more than a repackaging of the abhorrent, nicolaitan, antichrist, demonic Roman Catholic system of baal-worshipping, sodomite evil priests who hold men captive with their evil “Confessional” doctrine and lead men’s souls to hell. I am VERY sensitive to the idea of any human trying to get between me and Jesus. The Holy Spirit is our covering. Absolutely! This covering idea is a very dangerous doctrine.” Stephen Michels
WHENEVER you hear some dupe talking about “covering,” you know you have a cultish bewitched individual on your hands. It’s like they’re proud of being under a mere sinful man’s so-called “covering” which is nothing more than a sham, putting them in total bondage to sinners. they have Traded Jesus for the sinner they brag about being submitted to. if you are truly right with God, your joy is to submit to God, not a sinner and JESUS is the only covering you will ever need or want! The “covering” Doctrine is a of Control! Beware!
Many of the covering doctrine handlers take Hebrews 13:7 and 17 out of it’s context for their own self-serving purposes:
BEING GROUNDED IN THE WORD
“Remember them which have the rule over you, WHO HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU THE WORD OF GOD: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.” Hebrews 13:7
The covering wolves who’ve deceived people are not speaking God’s Word in context and therefore do not qualify to be submitted to!
Conducting a “church service” on Sunday mornings to entertain goats doesn’t qualify for watching over the souls of God’s people and so such a wolf is not to be submitted to:
“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for THEY WATCH FOR YOUR SOULS, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” Hebrews 13:17
A true elder of Christ will watch for your soul by fostering your dependence upon Christ and not his sinful self!
Clincher! I bet that self-promoting wolf will never show you this:
“Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.” 2 Corinthians 1:24
No man has “dominion” over the faith of individual believers.
Seeking to have or to exercise dominion over others, over their faith, is witchcraft! Peer again at this truth ….
“Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.” 2 Corinthians 1:24
There’s only one self-existent being in the universe and that’s the One who made the Universe and all that is. And, it’s only in Him making us one with Him that we will have an established identity according to His wisdom and will. See John 17 – we should pray for this oneness that our LORD prayed to the Father for – for us.
God’s Word tells us that we owe no man anything except to love them (Romans 13:8).
“Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.” Romans 13:8
“Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.” 1 Corinthians 7:23
The Bible tells us that when you receive a lie, you will be brought under bondage to the sinful wolf who told you that lie. Listen closely:
“While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome (by lies, heresies), of the same is he brought in bondage.” 2 Peter 2:19
Here’s how they are playing you …. For the fool!
Flattery is their Tool!
So you go visit their “church.” They eagerly greet you with a smile that hides the darkness of their hearts. Little do you realize that they are setting a trap to catch you in. So, the flattery and disingenuous concern begins. The flattering things they will tell you go alone these lines……like:
- “God has put His favor on you”
- “The LORD has called you”
- “The LORD is going to use you”
- “He’s gifted you”
Like a hunter after his prey, controlling wolves, have to position you, to trick you in order to get you ensnared or trapped in their clutches.
“Biblical order”? What is biblical order? GOD first, not man. Read 2 Cor 1:24; 8:5 and Matthew 22:37-40 and Exodus 20:3; 34:14
Let’s read it again …. I bet that wolf will never show you this Bible verse:
“Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.” 1 Corinthians 7:23
Someone is hurting you, deceiving you out of the reward of Christ and you are blind so don’t see it!
“Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” Colossians 3:24
The LORD alone is our REWARD!
“I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” Genesis 15:1
The diabolical mission of Satan’s wolves in sheep’s clothing in our midst, is to rob believers of the reward of God which is Himself, CHRIST!
“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 2:18-19
Did you catch this? –“not holding the Head” Bam! There it is! False ministers are known in that they are not preaching, exalting, elevating, and upHOLDING CHRIST! No, instead, these warlocks are going to preach themselves, their position, their ministry, etc., all in order to isolate a couple of verses they take out of context to get you submitted to them! Pure witchcraft!
“COVERING”? If you laughably believe you are “covered” by mere sinful men, you are a deceived soul. ONLY Jesus can cover you – repent and submit to HIM sinner!
It’s suspect when you hear men brag about how they are submitted to other mere men. Sad. These same men are obviously not submitted to the LORD and somehow think the Almighty doesn’t see their every intent of heart including their idolatry of mere men.
Flash Point! – If you are not submitted to the LORD, your submission to other mere sinful men is useless and foolish!!!! Those under the control, the witchcraft of other mere men, brag about being submitted to those mere men while never speaking of their submission to the LORD! That’s because they aren’t submitted to God at all!
If you are going to boast, boast in Christ. If you are going to talk about submission, speak of how you are submitted to the nail scarred risen LORD and Savior, not men.
“Hiding behind scripture”? YES!!!! So, yes I am hiding in Christ, the Word while you hide under the “covering” sham of a mere sinful man.
So many pastors will not preach the whole Gospel. It seems they would rather flatter your flesh so that you continue to patronize their church business. Trust God, not a mere sinful man. Read God’s Word daily! The King James Bible.
Proper Submission
“Submitting yourselves one to another.” Ephesians 5:21
“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3 NEITHER AS BEING LORDS OVER GOD’S HERITAGE heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:” 1 Peter 5:1-6
The younger should only submit if the leader(s) are NOT making themselves “lords over GOD’s heritage.” The heresy of “covering” is only used by those who DO exercise undue control over “God’s heritage,” making themselves “lords over God’s heritage.”
Without exception, all who seek to control others are not saved, they are full of self! Run!
Those who flatter you by refusing to preach the absolute necessity of repenting, taking up the cross daily and following Jesus…. Are setting you up for the kill …. You may vainly believe that it’s all fun and games now but judgment is coming if you don’t repent and diligently study and adhere to the whole counsel of God’s Word. When you do truly repent, you will no long put yourself under a smooth talking wolf who refuses to preach the whole counsel of the original Gospel of Christ (Isaiah 30:9-10; 2 Timothy 4:2-4).
“A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.” Proverbs 29:5
What was Christ’s apostle Paul’s concern? His concern is that God’s individual saints were submitted to THE LORD “first” and foremost (Matthew 6:33; Revelation 2:4-5). Watch this:
“And this they did, not as we hoped, but FIRST gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.” 2 Corinthians 8:5
Paul let God’s people be who they were, as they chose, exercising their individual priesthood and God given liberty with the one Savior and …… Notice below, when he was speaking of Apollos, Paul never once tried to control or be the “covering” over him or any other saint!
“As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.” 1 Corinthians 16:9
As we see in this example, when Paul wanted something greatly of Apollos but Apollos being his own man, chose not to comply. Paul did nothing to manipulate or control others.
The Bible tells us to first and foremost and primarily “Submit yourselves therefore to GOD” not men (James 4:7). Ministers of Satan himself, posing as representatives of Christ (2 Corinthians 11:12-15), take a couple of verses out of context in Hebrews 13 to wield their witchcraft over biblically-illiterate, gullible people who are then brought under bondage to Satan himself. Jesus didn’t die to save you so that mere sinful men could then rule over your, rule your life! Beware! Discern biblically! Know the whole counsel of God’s Word so that you will not be destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6)
“Lot’s of immature Christians out there being fed nothing but milk (or less) who remain immature and therefore vulnerable to being swayed by Nicolaitans who want to rule over them as lords.” Paul Roberts (former victim of the covering doctrine)
Personal note: Based upon the Word of God and the full counsel thereof: IF I sense that a person dare attempt to manipulate or control anyone at all, including myself, that wolf will be met with strong rebuke and called to repent of your sin, lay down your life and truly submit your own self to the LORD. The root of witchcraft is that those wielding it are simply not submitted to God themselves. This deception fools some young believers because they erroneously think that if men set up a “ministry” that God Himself must have ordained them to do so. After all they have a degree, a following, and a building, right? Not! These are trap ministries operated by Satan’s ministers. Let’s learn all the warnings of Scripture concerning false leaders. Here’s one:
“But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” 2 Corinthians 11:12-15
“Yep — years ago I was in a ‘covering’ church.
Although it was nowhere near an “extreme” case, it was still “off.” At that time it hadn’t dawned on me how un-scriptural it was. I wasn’t sure why I became uncomfortable with it (and other things) but, praise God, He led me out of that church. I will never forget the meeting when the Lord spoke to my heart these words: “You don’t belong here any more.” As soon as I heard those words I got up and left — right in the middle of the meeting — and never went back.
And yes, I did get the “concerned” reaction from some people asking (to my face!) if I was backsliding and walking away from the Lord. It was as if I didn’t attend that particular fellowship, I was going to Hell!
So, even in my self-induced ignorance and gullibility, the Lord showed His awesome mercy and care for me and rescued me. He’s done that several times in my life!” Debbie
Of course there’s liberty in this topic…..Someone who wants to mentor you???? GOD can cause growing in grace in His saints as He sees fit and through whomsoever He chooses. Recently, as in times past with others, I came into contact with a couple who was basically “mentor intensive”…. They were a bit too eager to “mentor” folks…. and have been grieving the Spirit and running people away. There’s control there. Submission is “one to another” in Christ’s body and this topic has been the occasion for some to overly assert themselves. “YEA, ALL OF YOU BE SUBJECT ONE TO ANOTHER, AND BE CLOTHED WITH HUMILITY: FOR GOD RESISTETH THE PROUD, AND GIVETH GRACE TO THE HUMBLE” (1 PETER 5:5)
Submission to the LORD ALMIGHTY, upholding Jesus as the only “HEAD” of His blood purchased body is the preeminent truth (Colossians 2:4-10, 18-19). This priority of worship must never be removed from its divinely declared and ordained place. Submitting to men is complete futility if one is not submitted truly to the LORD. And, when one is submitted to Christ, he will serve and submit properly to everyone around him, serving them. And sometimes serving someone means bringing correction.

Jacked Up Jezebel Rebuked [podcast]
“Jezebel is a widely rampant spirit of rebellion that is hard to get rid of, rooted in pride, self-will, and self-sufficiency. Only the LORD can deliver but only if the individual truly repents and submits to Him, to His Word.” Anita Villarreal
Any person defending this jezebel heresy that women can be pastors, elders over men, is under the control of Satan, period. And in need of true repentance (James 4:7).
—-There are NO female apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, or teachers under the New Testament (Ephesians 4:8, 11-12). Jesus gave these “gifts unto MEN.” (Ephesians 4:8) There is not even one woman mentioned in 27 books as an elder over Christ’s flock. Such is clearly forbidden (1 Timothy 2:11-12). In Acts 21:9 we read of Phillip’s daughters which “did prophesy” which is a gift of the Spirit (one of the nine-1 Corinthians 12:7-10). The office gifts are eldership functions for men called to be overseers over Christ’s flock, which is completely different than the gifts of the Spirit which every believer can function in and certainly women are seen doing such as Phillip’s daughters and how women are mentioned concerning operating in the gifts of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 14.
Classic case of a jezebel lashing out when the Word of GOD corrects her (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Her rebellion is against God. Jezebel is utterly rebellious. She hates what God’s Word says and so the demons that control jezebels will lash out in personal attacks against the men who stand on the truth unwaveringly (such as did Elijah whom Jezebel sought to kill).
“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” 1 Timothy 2:11-14
“As I look around America I ask myself who can find a virtuous woman? Whose whole life is surrendered to God. And centered in the fear of the Lord. No woman will submit to their husbands unless they first submit to God. Ephesians 5:22 says women are to submit to their husbands, “as unto the Lord.” That must come first. And what is a great price in the sight of God? A woman who has a meek and quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:4). This is true beauty to God. But Jezebels are the complete opposite. Full of rebellion, pride and hatred! God says throw her down!” Karen Cochran
From the divine perspective, this is not about oppression but rather about protect. See Revelation 2:20-24 to see what Jesus warns when a woman is allowed to lead as an elder in the body of Christ. He uses the words “The depths of Satan” and speaks of the death and destruction that will result when the men allow a woman to lead in a manner that is outside of the stated role God ordained for the woman.
Yes the LORD said He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, sons and daughter, but not to anoint a woman to do something HE forbids. Women are to teach women yes but not the general body of believers (Titus 2:1-5). There are NO female elders in the New Testament. God forbids it. Eldership is reserved for men – to humbly teach, lead and protect and cherish women and children.
“There’s a crazy role reversal across the land and men should always lead. Even our women’s prayer group was led by the pastor because that’s what he believed. Women are more emotional and men more logical. Both have their designated roles . God meant them to compliment each other rather than to compete.” John Umlauf
When people don’t like what God’s Word states, they will attack the mere messenger as if that changes the truth. Not. And, they heap judgment on themselves by doing so (Matthew 7:1-5; James 2:13). Persecution
“For we are not as many, which corrupt (twist, adulterate) the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:17
“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47
“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13
Jesus Addresses the Ahabs and Self-Appointed Jezebel at the Church at Thyatira
Revelation 2:20-24
Revelation 2:20-24 is about a certain self-appointed woman who was allowed by the spineless men in Thyatira to operate out of the biblically-stated order for women in the church setting.
Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Rev 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

Laboring in the Spirit, not the Flesh
“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” Jude 21
It’s not about the color or your skin, it’s about what kingdom you’re in!
What Should be the Response of the Body of Christ? – LOVE!
Reading 1 Corinthians 13 each morning this week is a life changer. Nothing in our lives is going to work out right if we don’t prayerfully endeavor to walk in God’s love – loving God and our neighbor, above ourselves. I love pouring prayerfully over 1 Corinthians 13 and Philippians 2:3-5. Life changing is an understatement!
Racism is hatred and is not a skin color. It is a heart condition – coming from a sinful heart. Memorize Romans 2:11.
In the time of tribulation for the believers at Thessalonica, the Holy Spirit spoke through Paul and said this:
“And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.” 2 Thessalonians 3:5
By this we know of a certainty that the Holy Spirit is leading, directing our “hearts into the LOVE of God” and not the flesh, not a fleshly response. We now face tribulation and can be assured by this truth that our unchanging God is directing our hearts into His love and not hatred.
This is a divine truth for every era, every hour…. and we sure know that sin is exponentially abounding in this late hour…. which means divine grace is even greater – to save, heal, bless, deliver, and make whole!!!!
“But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:” Romans 5:20
Here’s more evidence of God’s leading His people into the love walk in trying times:
“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:7-8
Any person who does not walk in God’s love is not saved and we know that from many Scriptures. No hate, no hater shall enter Christ’s kingdom, no matter what justification that sinner thinks he has to warrant hating anyone. “He that loveth not knoweth not God.” (1 John 4:8) “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” (1 John 3:15)
When His disciples ask Him “what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”, Jesus gave them this answer:
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation (ethnic group) shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 24:4-13
“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.” 2 Timothy 2:3-5
The Church began, will end as containing precious souls from every nation, kindred, and tongue (Acts 2; Revelation 5:9; 14:6).
The New Testament church began with men from every nation under Heaven and will be the same throughout eternity in glory.
Acts 2:1-13
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;” Revelation 5:9
Nation/ethnos, ethnic yes…groups at odds was foretold by Jesus – Matthew 24:7
Yes we can be at peace, Jesus told us to fear not and to be at peace …..
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

When God Says to STOP PRAYING! [podcast]
Reconciling with God and other Saints
“He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law (the Word), even his prayer shall be abomination.” Proverbs 28:9
Those who do not love God enough to seek Him in the Word, to learn, and to obey Him, will not be heard by Him.
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13
In general, because God is “Holy, holy, holy,” when there is sin, God will not answer prayers – until the sinner repents and reconciles with the LORD and any person involved as needed (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8; Proverbs 28:9, etc.).
“And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? 11 Israel hath sinned …” Joshua 7:10-11
In other words, God said to Joshua “Why are you seeking My face, praying to me, talking to me, when there is sin in the camp? Get the sin our of the camp and then you can approach Me in prayer.”
STOP PRAYING AND LEAVE IT!
God is not going to bless our lives unless we are willing to sincerely admit our sins, repent and confess them, and make amends (restitution) with anyone we’ve harmed. In the divine economy, there’s no such thing as being right with God when you’ve done another person wrong, haven’t repented, and haven’t made amends for what you’ve done. Such a person will be outside of the will and blessings of God until he makes things right with God and man.
God is not hearing the prayers or worship of any person who has done someone else wrong and refuses to make restitution (Matthew 5:23-24).
“Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; FIRST be reconciled to thy brother, and THEN come and offer thy gift.” Matthew 5:23-24
God will not answer the prayer of any person who does not honor and obey His Word and if a person has an outstanding offense He wants them to clear up these matters (Proverbs 28:9, 13).
Here Jesus gave us the instruction to stop praying! What!? Someone may be thinking “Todd, are you being sacrilegious now!? What is your problem brother!?” Keep reading okay.
“If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:” Psalms 66:18
“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:7
According to the Son of God, just when (if ever) should the believer stop praying? When he remembers that a brother has “aught against” him. Yes, I know this may raise eyebrows to say that Jesus told us to stop praying, but He certainly did. That’s what we read of His very words in Matthew 5.
He instructs us not to wait for the other person to come to you. Go to them and make peace. Work things out so that neither of your relationships with God will be in any way hindered. Forgive. Seek restitution and forgiveness. The Christian life is all about relationship – vertically first and them horizontally.
Jesus is saying here: “Stop praying or doing any form of worship until you have first done all you can possibly do to make peace with that person you had strife or misunderstanding with, offended, or wounded – the person that still has aught against you, whose heart isn’t yet clear in the matter. Your prayers and any form of supposed worship will not be honored in Heaven until you take care of this matter. Since I am holy I require certain things of you and one of them is that you do your best to keep unity with others, especially My people. Remember how I told you to love one another and to treat others as you wish to be treated? I love you and want clear communion with you and am simply not going to allow you to have a clear conscience until you work things out with that other person who has aught against you. Remember that though I love you, I care about others as much as I care about you. Get that human relationship right first and then come and seek My face in worship and we shall commune.”
God forgives us through Christ’s perfect sacrifice and as we choose to give it out to others! WHO might you have aught against in your heart today beloved?
As a believer, the LORD holds me personally accountable to facilitate reconciliation and peace in others when there is a rift and no matter whose fault it is (Matt. 5:23-24).
First and foremost we must realize that when we sin it is against the One who is “holy, holy, holy” (Isa. 6:3; Rev. 4:8). After that fact, we at times sin against or offend men (James 3:1). So, when we have wrongly offended someone who is created in the image of God, we should first confess that sin to the LORD and then do whatever it takes within our power to make it right with the person.
“Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. 28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.” Proverbs 3:27-28
“Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27 Neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:25-27
Child of God, are you aware of anyone who might be upset with you for something you have done or they thought you did? Is anyone offended at you?
This writer is no stranger to wronging people, but is learning to follow this simple truth in Matthew 5, making sure to openly and transparently facilitate healing in those I have brought hurt to or who are offended at me for any legitimate reason.
Granted, we are going to offend people at times when it is not our fault. I am not talking about that. I am talking about when it is our fault or the situation is questionable or a close call.
Have you been offended? Have you ever found yourself in a situation where someone else held the key to your closure, your healing? Think back in your life: Have you ever needed someone else’s help in getting free in your heart from something concerning a situation?
Jesus called the divine Person of the Holy Spirit “the Comforter” (Jn. 14:26; 15:26; 16:7). God is all-powerful and can help us walk through a heart-rending ordeal where another person has hurt us and is unwilling to partake of the healing process according to the Word/instructions of the LORD. This He can and will do, yet He holds that other person responsible for doing their part – “Leave there thy gift before the altar – FIRST be reconciled to thy brother.”
Those made righteous by the blood of Christ are to do all in their power to facilitate healing in others.
“If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” Romans 12:18
Jesus Christ came to make captives free and such freedom is the desire of all who follow Him. They desire also to see people set free and do their part when it is in the power of their hand to help (Prov. 3:27).
“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2
When need be, we are to work hard to make sure God’s peace abides among the saints.
“Endeavouring (working hard) to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:3
“Endeavouring” – it’s hard work at times to keep unity in the body. Have you noticed that things happen that need attention, patience, humility, admission where wrong has been done, etc.?
It is our personal responsibility to keep schisms out of Christ’s body as much as it is in our power.
“That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” 1 Corinthians 12:25-27
The LORD promises us that He commands His precious peace where brethren dwell together in unity.
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there (in the unity of believers) the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.” Psalms 133:1-3
The person who is truly born again cares for the body of Christ. Peace among the saints is where God’s blessing abides.
“We know that we have passed from death unto life (we know we are saved), BECAUSE we love the brethren.” 1 John 3:14
Without love we are nothing (1 Cor. 13). Divine love, authentically demonstrated in our lives, is the earmark fruit of the Heaven-bound disciple. There are no exceptions – “He that loveth not knoweth not God” (1 Jn. 4:8). If such charitable love does not presently appear in our lives, we should consider going before the throne of grace and making things right with God (repentance). The genuinely born again person is filled with God’s love and teachable in the precepts of the LORD. When he discovers a previously unknown (to him) truth, he swiftly hearkens and obeys. Remember, God’s eternal kingdom and the terms for entrance into it are based on the LORD’s terms and not any individual’s. Either we meet the terms and conditions or we shall be found without (Matt. 7:21-23; Lk. 6:46-49; 13:24-30; 1 Jn. 2:3-5; Rev. 2-3).
“We know that we have passed from death unto life (we know we are saved – been brought from spiritual death to spiritual life), BECAUSE we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” 1 John 3:14-16
Child of God, do you have a key that would help another get free? If you possess the key that would assist in obtaining their freedom, the LORD holds you personally responsible to use it to help unlock that person’s heart and assist in their returning to a heart that is right with God, free from anything that hinders that relationship.
“Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” Ephesians 4:26
Don’t let the sun go down upon that which you can do to cause reconciliation in Christ’s body for which He bled. Leave your prayer closet and any and all worship and go get things right with that person the LORD may be placing on your heart. You will be glad you obeyed the LORD in this.
You see, if we truly have an intimate and saving relationship with Christ, we realize that nothing could be more important to us – and others. Knowing Jesus is everything. Armed with this knowledge and moved upon by the Holy Spirit, we are to be compelled to help others in their relationship with Jesus in any way we possibly can.
PRAYER: Father in Heaven, thank You for sending Your only begotten Son Jesus to live and die for me – for all of my many sins. This moment, I turn my life to Thee O God – asking Your merciful forgiveness on my sin of departing from You. Right this instant I ask You to please be my first love LORD Jesus! Bless this heart with sensitivity and a deep conviction for Your truth. Please allow this heart to have godly conviction! Please bless this life You graciously gave lift others to You and help them in any and every way I have opportunity. I am all Yours and You are all mine my LORD. Quicken my heart in any matter that You wish me to make amends with another person. Right now I now humble myself under Your mighty hand and ask You to use me to help facilitate peace between You and others Jesus, and in Your body. Please bless Your body to live in Your love, and Your truth and in peace with You and one another. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
