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.

Jesus Answered Questions with Questions [podcast]
“AVOID FOOLISH QUESTIONS”
Could it be that one way to “avoid foolish questions” is to ask questions when questioned?
“But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition REJECT; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.” Titus 3:9-11
One of the best ways to “avoid foolish questions” is to answer them with questions. Read that again.
All questions that come to us are not evil and yet, as we see with Jesus’ religious enemies, some questions do come from evil hearts with ungodly motives.
“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
Jesus used the art of asking questions and so should you. This will revolutionize the way you interact with others, if done correctly. And, this should never be used from a heart that is not pure in the eyes of God. The disciple must beware of the evil that lurks within his own heart (Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 7:18, 24, etc.).
“Asking questions was central to Jesus’ life and teachings.”
Jesus used this method of answering questions with questions in order to shift the burden of proof, expose the motives of his critics, and force his listeners to think deeply.
One commentator notes:
“How many times did Jesus ask questions?
In the Gospels Jesus asks many more questions than he answers. To be precise, Jesus asks 307 questions. He is asked 183 of which he only answers three. Asking questions was central to Jesus‘ life and teachings.”
The Big Question is … What’s behind the question?
WHERE is the questioner seeking to lead this conversation?
We should pray for discernment to know whether there is evil intent or the noble desire for answers behind the questions asked of us.
Questioners with evil hearts ask questions in order to get themselves off the hook or deny what the Bible plainly states. This some do to distance themselves from the conviction of conscience the truth is causing them. And if you buy the package, if you take the bait, they will suck you in and devour you.
Beware of the enemy’s tactics.
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices (schemes, tactics).” 2 Corinthians 2:11
“Jesus frequently asked the Pharisees questions. He challenged them. Most of the time He answered questions with questions! He called them out! Which angered them greatly. Jesus was skilled in the art of asking questions! I could learn much from a study of questions Jesus asked.” Karen Cochran
ALWAYS GIVE GOD’S ANSWER AND NO OTHER (1 Peter 3:15): Beware that when God’s Word is spoken, those who love darkness rather than light, those who are unrepentant will divert from the Word by asking you questions off of the WORD itself in order to divert the conviction from their unrepentant hearts (John 3:19-21). STAY with the Word – whether they like it or not (Isaiah 55:11). You owe no man an answer other than to give them what God says – what the LORD stated in His unchanging Word (Mark 13:31). Jesus tells us that such men as will not hear His Word, are “NOT of God.” And, that if they were “OF GOD” they’d be humbly, astutely looking for and hearing HIS Word (John 8:47). Memorizing the words of Jesus recorded in John 8:47 will put your discernment miles ahead. I underlined the key words:
“He that is OF GOD heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are NOT OF GOD.” John 8:47
When you give rebels the answer of GOD from HIS WORD, they will attack you – the mere messenger. They are not there to learn. They’ve made up their minds and are sticking with their rebellion. Always remember, their issue is with the LORD and not with you.
You see, unrepentant men do not like the answer God gives to their questions. They are looking only to justify sin, not repent and confess it as the LORD requires. So their questions are aimed at finding a way to justify their sin – to justify their refusal to truly repent, lay down their lives in this fleeting world, and follow Jesus for real. That’s the crux of the matter.
Isn’t that exactly what the pharisees (false teachers/religionists) did to Jesus?
“Let GOD be true and EVERY man a liar.” Romans 3:4
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalms 119:105
Give God’s answer and no other. You owe no one an answer to anything else, except what God says about it. Refuse to allow rebels to lead you around by the nose with their deflections and questions.
“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” 1 Peter 3:15
JESUS ANSWERS QUESTIONS WITH QUESTIONS
Getting a taste of how Jesus dealt with evil hearted religious folks is going to greatly develop your ability to navigate the hate-filled attacks against Christ and you by truth-haters. This will help you as you earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints in the original Gospel recorded on the pages of Holy Scripture (Jude 3-4).
Jesus questioned His questioners and so should you! You serve the LORD Jesus and are not obligated to answer every question that comes your way. Sometimes, you have to stay in control in these situations. I say this specifically referring to conversations you will have with rebels. They have nothing good in their hearts and in many cases, have no heart for the truth, just like the religious frauds of Christ’s day.
Personally, I’ve seldom seen so much evil as when I refuse to answer questions from those who seek to misdirect the conversation away from the Word of God. Often detractors use mere human reasoning, or anything to manipulate and twist and get the emphasis off of what the Word itself clearly states (Mark 7:6-9). This is a tactic they use in order to promulgate their false belief, justifies their sin, and that contradicts Holy Scripture. Such was the case in this recent attack and conversation – Preacher Viciously Attacked for Speaking the Truth! [podcast]
Jesus is THE BOSS and He’s Your Boss! Follow Your Boss. Follow the Example of Your Boss! We learn from our Boss by beholding what He did. And, our Boss, the KING of all kings, asked questions to questioners.
Our Lord was skilled at asking precise questions that drove to the heart of a situation, centering everything on HIS kingdom and never acquiescing to the sinful whims and manipulations of unrepentant men.
Some of Christ’s most profound questions came as a response to those who were questioning Jesus. The following is a list of some of the questions Jesus used in questioning His questioners. This is not an exhaustive list of every question Jesus ever asked and is on record in the Bible. In order to help the reader, I’ve underlined and hi-lighted the words which indicate questions for the reader to capture the essence of how our LORD answered questions with questions. I’ve included also the questions Jesus asked His own disciples. Some of these questions are noble and most (from His enemies) are hostile. As you will see, those questions from Christ’s enemies are obviously inherently evil. I’ve highlighted with yellow where the LORD specifically cites them for such, calling to the reader’s attention the heart motives of those asking the questions. Jesus interrupted their attempted deflections, cover-ups. He called them out on it. Here’s the interaction:
- Matthew 9:14-15 – 14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? 15 And Jesus said unto them (a question), Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
- Matthew 15:1-3 – 1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
- Matthew 15:33-34 33 – 33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? 34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
- Matthew 17:24-26 – 24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? 25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? 26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
- Matthew 21:16 – And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
- Matthew 26:6-10 – 6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. 8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? 9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
- Mark 2:5-11 – 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? 9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) 11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
- Mark 4:10,13 – 10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. .. 13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
- Mark 4:38,40 – And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? … 40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
- Mark 7:17-18 – 17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. 18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also?Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
- Mark 10:2-3 – And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. 3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
- Notice in this exchange below how Jesus is, as always, in charge, in control and therefore answers the questions of these hypocrites with questions and puts them to work – because He knew the hypocrisy of their hearts and what was behind their foolish questions.
Mark 12:14-17 – And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? 15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny (Jesus puts them to work), that I may see it. 16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar’s. 17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.
- By Jesus telling these men that they did err, were in error, because they didn’t know the “scriptures, neither the power of God” which comes from proper relationship with Him, He was in part directing them to get into the Word where the answers are found. Mark 12:18, 20-24 – Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, … 20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. 21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. 22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. 23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. 24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
- Luke 2:48-49 – And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist (knew) ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
- Luke 6:1-3 – And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. 2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? 3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him; 4 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
- Luke 10:25-26 – And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
- Luke 10:29,36 – But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? … 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
- Luke 12:41-43 – Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
- Luke 18:18-19 – And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
- As Jesus “taught the people … and preached the gospel”…. wicked religionists hurled questions with evil intent, questioning Christ’s authority. As His custom was, Jesus answered them with a question.
Luke 20:1-4 – And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders, 2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority? 3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: 4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
- John 8:3-10 – And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. (notice Jesus’ response to their question here – He didn’t answer it verbally but with this action) But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?“

America
America is Under Divine Judgment [podcast]
Chasing the American dream all the way to hell? Are you bowing before your Maker who came and died to save you from sin and this world? Or, are you bowing before “old glory—the red, white, and blue”?
“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:” Revelation 3:17
Every person reading these very words is making his eternal bed in Heaven or in hell.
“Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.” Joel 3:14
“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” Romans 6:16
Those bowed truly before Christ and no idol, are about His “business” which is the Great Commission He gave us! Oh, and He holds you fully accountable to obey, to do it. Read the very end of Matthew and Mark.
If you are not deliberately, integrally involved in the Great Commission mandate Jesus gave His people, you are out of the will of God.
Evangelism! (Mark 16:15-20) Teaching God’s Word (Matthew 28:18-20).
AMERICA’S ENEMY INVASION
In the Bible, we read of how God allowed foreign empires like the Assyrians and Babylonians to invade, conquer, and exile Israel and Judah as a form of divine discipline and covenant judgment for their persistent idolatry, social injustice, and refusal to repent.
One source notes:
“The Theological Framework of Judgment
- The Covenant: God made a conditional agreement (covenant) with ancient Israel. Obedience brought protection and blessing; disobedience brought explicit warnings of national defeat and dispersion (e.g., Deuteronomy 28).
- Using Foreign Nations: Prophets like Isaiah and Habakkuk explain that God sovereignly used ruthless empires (calling Assyria the “rod of my anger”) as instruments of correction against His own unfaithful people.
- The Limits of Judgment: While God used these empires to punish Israel, the Bible notes He also held those invading nations accountable for their own extreme cruelty, arrogance, and subsequent destruction (e.g., Isaiah 10, Jeremiah 50–51).”
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY NATION THAT FORSAKES GOD. – “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalms 9:17). America is under divine judgment. See Jeremiah 18.
“The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalms 9:16-17
“At what instant” (marked space in time)
It seems God has His timing in judging nations and history records…..
It is more than obvious that America is not repenting. If that’s the case, what future does America have?
Jeremiah 18:7-10
“At what instant (marked place in time) I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.”
How does He judge?
Does He not lift His hand of protection and allow invaders? Read Jeremiah 5-7. This morning as I begin again reading these 3 chapters, what’s happening in America seems to fit for sure. And no president can save America from the LORD’s judgment. The only hope would be the true repentance of the people.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY NATION THAT FORSAKES GOD. – “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalms 9:17). America is under divine judgment. See Jeremiah 18.
What Bible verse or passage comes to your mind when you think of being possessed by an eternal perspective? How about this one?
“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
PRAYER: My Father in Heaven, in the name of Jesus, please imbue this Your vessel with the eternal perspective Your Word communicates. Bless me to be a consummate soul winning person, with my hands gripping the plow of Your Great Commission command. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
“Why would we put our hope in a country that belongs to our arch enemy? (2 Corinthians 4:4). As scripture clearly tells us this earth will vanish like smoke (Isaiah 51:6). We are looking for a new heaven and new earth! (Revelation 21). Where God will dwell among us! We will be His people and drink from the fountain of life forever and ever! That is my hope! Not this wicked fallen world!” Karen Cochran

“And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be Preached in all the World” [podcast]
“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.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:8-14
The true remnant of Christ are known in that they are enduring to the end in the midst of iniquity, abounding and preaching the Gospel of Jesus the King to the world.
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15
PRAYER: Father in Heaven, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ, admitting I have been living for my own evil glory. I am a sinner. I’ve committed the sin of idolatry, having myself first instead of You. I admit here and now before You that I have been committing the damning sin of spiritual adultery. I have claimed to know You and yet refused to uncompromisingly adhere to Your Word. Here and now, right now if never before, I repent and ask You to forgive my sins and to wash me afresh from my sins in the precious blood of Jesus Christ my LORD. Into Your hands I commend, I submit my spirit, my life, right this moment and ask You dear LORD to fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me to preach Your glorious message of repentance to those around me so that they can receive the forgiveness of all their sins and walk in the times of refreshing from Your holy presence dear LORD. I love You Jesus. I am all Yours and I know You are all mine. In Jesus’ Name amen.
