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.

Nasty Nicolaitans [podcast] Jesus says: “But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. … 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.” Revelation 2:6, 15 Meaning: Nico-laitans = conquer the laity. And this, as is always the case with Satan and his human agents, is accomplished via lies. “While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.” 2 Peter 2:19 Being overcome by a lie, […]

Ministers who Operate in Witchcraft [podcast]

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!

Instead they listen to someone else, some mere man or men to tell them about God instead of studying God’s Word for themselves. They’ve openly rejected Christ and will be damned (Hosea 4:6; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). —- BEWARE of the manipulation, schemes, and deceptive methods used by those in […]

7 Debilitating Lies Of The ‘Covering Doctrine’

from http://rawgod.com What is the “Covering Doctrine?” To put it simply, it’s the doctrine that claims all Christians must be under the authority (covering) of a church leader or mother organization to act with ‘authority,’ be protected from the attacks of the devil, or receive God’s blessings. It came from the shepherding movement of the 70’s which was really rooted in the cultural revolution of the 60’s, and utterly failed a short time afterwards. The face of the shepherding movement, along with it’s overblown ‘covering doctrine’ was Bob Mumford. Although in 1989 he said: Accountability, personal training under the guidance of another, […]

Idolatry

THE SIN, THE CURSE, AND THE FRUIT OF IDOLATRY [podcast]

“Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.” Leviticus 26:1

Idolatry will damn the eternal soul to hell (Exodus 20:3-7; Galatians 5:19-21, etc.). Just one idol. ANYthing that is more important to you than Jesus Christ is an idol. You must repent and receive Christ or you will perish in the flames of eternal damnation (Luke 13:3; John 1:12). If you aren’t willing to give up your religion to follow Jesus, you are a hell bound idolater who has chosen to pay for your own sins for eternity in hell.

God will not be worshipped by physical objects, idols. Jesus says:

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24

2 Corinthians 5:16 says “Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.” This verse, this divine truth has helped me out much. God forbids any attempt to worship Him through, via any images, anything physical (Exodus 20:3-7). According to this Bible verse, we do not even know Jesus after the flesh.

Jesus stated the divine essential, the non-negotiable imperative that “they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23-24).

17 Soul Damning Sins

“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 IDOLATRY, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21

“But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” James 3:14-16

IDOL’ATRY, noun [Latin idololatria. Gr. idol, and to worship or serve.]

1. The worship of idols, images, or any thing made by hands, or which is not God.

Idolatry is of two kinds; the worship of images, statues, pictures, etc. made by hands; and the worship of the heavenly bodies, the sun, moon and stars, or of demons, angels, men and animals.

2. Excessive attachment or veneration for any thing, or that which borders on adoration.

from Websters1828

Anything you refuse to give up for Jesus is your idol.

Any person who will not give up their religion to follow Jesus is a hell bound antichrist idolater.

The Stark Contrast between True and False Worship

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3

Whatever you won’t give up for Jesus is a soul damning idol (Mark 9:43-49).

The reason so many don’t take sin seriously and sit under sin-justifying wolves in sheep’s clothing, is because they do not fear nor take God seriously. Then they attack the true messengers of Christ who are declaring that God is holy and He requires non-negotiably that anyone who will know and be with Him eternally cut off occasion for all sin as Jesus commanded in Mark 9:43-49 KJB. They talk about grace but only in the respect that their sins were initially forgiven, yet never in respect to divine grace being the divine influence and enablement in their daily lives to overcome all that displeases Him, as they worshipfully with great gratitude deny self, take up the cross and follow, abide in Jesus (Titus 2:11-14; Luke 9:23-24; John 15:1-6, etc.).

The cross message of Christ and His holy apostles is not a novel concept, idea, or mere suggestion but rather it is a non-negotiable essential component of the original Gospel.

Recently, I ran across a comment by a person who wrote: “A cross (or crucifix, picture, statute, etc.) is not idolatry so long as it leads the person to worship God, and not the object itself.”

Is this true? No. This is pure human reasoning and a denial of the Word of God. As you can tell, this person commenting was most likely catholic. Speaking of the catholic church, they removed the second commandment because it was costing them money. The 2nd commandment says:

“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.” Exodus 20:4-6

God is not and will not be worshipped through images. In fact only Satan receives worship when images are used (Exodus chapter 20; 1 Corinthians 10:19-21). Satan is the entity who received worship when someone does that which God forbids….

Committing the sin of Idolatry yokes you with devils.

“They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.” Deuteronomy 32:17

Making Peace with God

Upholding Jesus, the Only Head of His Body [podcast]

YOUR first thought when you hear “God” or “Christianity” should be JESUS! Not some church, pastor, or church program! The ministry continually receives emails from people who have latched on to some mere man, his personality – instead of worshipping Christ supremely (Colossians 2:18-19). And in doing so, they defend those mere men angrily, doggedly, having never stopped to put them to the biblical test. “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try (test) the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1 “Not everything is at it seems.

ANY person attempting to worship God or gain favor or blessings via any physical image is an antichrist – one who has put something, anything before, in place of the living Savior – and is an idolater and has no part in Christ’s kingdom (Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation 21:8, etc.). Symbols are images…. and God will not be worshipped via any devil-inspired man-made image. “Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan (Egyptian idol), figures (pocket idol) which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.” Acts 7:43 Idol […]

Fresh Start with God

You can Have a … Jesus is the Great Shepherd of His Sheep (Heb. 13:20; Lk. 15) A FRESH START WITH GOD (First, if you are not certain that you are genuinely born again, please go here first) Let’s get something straight…. the disciple, the mere man writing this message is more in need of JESUS than anyone who ever lived! No one needs Jesus more than I do and yet, we must do things HIS way, not our own (Ephesians 3:8). “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs […]

MAKING PEACE WITH GOD (Spanish version here) Are you ready to Pass from Death to Life? God desires to pardon you – before it’s too late. Jesus beckons you to “Come unto me” — while you can (Matthew 11:28-30). “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 GOD sees all sin and will either […]

The FORGOTTEN Sins of Sodom [podcast]

What were the Real and Root Sins of Sodom?

Explosive!
DO YOU KNOW WHAT SINS THE BIBLE CITES OF THE PEOPLE OF SODOM WHICH CAUSED DIVINE JUDGMENT TO FALL ON THEM? THIS LIST OF SINS MIGHT SHOCK YOU.

EXPOSING THE GATEWAY SINS TO SODOM’S DESTRUCTION

Sodom’s sins were pride, gluttony, and laziness, while the poor and needy suffered outside her door.

According to Romans 1 it seems that sexual deviance, namely homosexuality, is the sin, the final manifestation of evil before destruction transpires. The LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this sin and others and will or is destroying America for rejecting Him (Matthew 10:26-28). WHAT were the specific sins of Sodom and Gomorrah that preceded the ultimate “abomination” of homosexuality? (Leviticus 18:22) Does the Bible reveal these sins? Yes!

Homosexuality always has been and always will be an “abomination” in the eyes of our Holy God (Leviticus 18:22). Repent now and follow Jesus.

DID GOD LIST SODOM’S SINS? WHAT WERE THEY?
THIS SHOCKING LIST OF SINS AND MESSAGE WILL KEEP YOU OUT OF HELL!

Little known sins that led up to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Check this out.

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9

Sodomy/homosexuality is usually the only sin attributed to the sins of Sodom and yet the Bible lists several sins that came before the ultimate turning over to homosexuality and further judgment (hell). See also Romans 1 and Ezekiel 16:49-51.

Jesus used this very example of Sodom to warn all under New Testament:

“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 32 Remember Lot’s wife. 33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.” Luke 17:28-33

Impending Judgment for Sin

In Ezekiel 16 we read of the judgment coming on the LORD’s people for their sins.

The very sins committed by the people of Sodom before God destroyed that city, were being committed by the LORD’s professing people in Ezekiel’s day, and are today being committed by those claiming to know the LORD in our day.

“Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good. 51 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.” Ezekiel 16:49-51

This list of sins in the above passage begins with these 3:

PFA = Pride, Fulness of Bread, and Abundance of idleness.

The Sins of Sodom:

Sins Jerusalem cited for in Ezekiel 16:49-51:

Pride (arrogance),
Fulness of Bread (gluttony, hoarding),
Abundance of Idleness (idle, lazy),
did not help those in need due to preoccupation with self-worship (not generous in spreading God’s wealth to His people and work)
haughty
committed abomination (fornication)

In the bulleted sins listed above from this revealing Ezekiel 16 passage, did you notice the progression?

Though it culminated in sodomy, yet not one sex sin is even specifically mentioned in this list of Sodom’s sins in Ezekiel 16. Does this not align perfectly with the judgment we see in Romans 1, how “when they knew God, they glorified him not as God” and were unthankful, further enriching themselves while they ignored others?

“Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful (they were ungrateful); but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” Romans 1:21

A fresh reading of Romans 1 reveals the root sins that preceded the sexual sins which immediately go before divine judgment. See Romans 1:18-32.

The sins that darken the hearts of those who once “knew God” and lead to the ultimate abomination of sodomy/homosexuality are pride, gluttony, idleness, and refusing to be generous givers to believers in need, etc.

Let’s Look Again at the Root, the Gateway Sins of the People of Sodom and Gomorrah:

PFA listed in Ezekiel 16:49-51:

Pride (arrogance),
Fulness of Bread (gluttony),
Abundance of Idleness (idle, lazy),
Like the fake religionists priest and Levite of Jesus’ Good Samaritan teaching, they did not help those in need due to preoccupation with self-worship (not generous in spreading God’s wealth to His people and work)

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged (weighed down) with surfeiting (gluttony), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare (trap) shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21:34-36

“There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.” Proverbs 13:7

Spiritual “Leanness”

“And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.” Psalms 106:15

“And this is exactly why there is a famine in the land. A famine ‘of hearing the words of the Lord’. Amos 8:11-13. This is the consequence of neglecting the Word of God. This famine is sent by God. To serve judgment because they have disregarded His Word and so their longings remain unsatisfied. It is a spiritual starvation, an emptiness. This is caused by disobedience and complacency. They shall ‘faint for thirst’. This implies an intense suffering. God has withdrawn His Word. As we see in these last days. People literally have contempt for God’s word. When you give them the pure unadulterated words of the Lord it angers them. So God will allow them to suffer an intense hunger because of their refusal of His words. This is why they are so prone to believe false prophets. Because they are weak and not ‘nourished up in the words of faith and good doctrine, whereunto thou has attained’ 1 Timothy 4:6” Karen Cochran

2 BIBLICAL EVIDENCES PROVE THAT AMERICA IS OVER [podcast]

How do we know, from the Bible, that America as we know it, is over? As the true saying goes, “Normal isn’t coming back but Jesus is!” “Great podcast! So true! America is under judgment! When we have pride month and many churches join in and celebrate too. And they flaunt their sin and the rainbow flag in the Lord’s face. We have become Sodom and Gomorrah! I wonder how long Lord?” Karen Recently Rob Anderson posted the following: “Don’t Worry Everyone I’m Sure We Can Vote Our Way Out Of This “ Why did Sodom and Gomorrah go down? What […]

10 Clues Your Love for God has Waxed Cold [podcast]

The wise virgin saints are keeping their lamps full of divine oil, they are taking personal responsibility for their own spiritual state with Christ the great and soon coming Bridegroom. Read Matthew 25:1-13. “The Love of Many Shall Wax Cold” “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 […]

Purifying Ourselves as He is Pure [video]

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:25-27 Repentance is ground zero. the disciple must return afresh to the LORD as often as needed. Have you ever wondered about the transaction of forgiveness for our sins as we walk through this life with Christ? Notice […]

Sex, Sodomy, and the Saints [podcast]

“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels … And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” Matthew 25:40, 46 Homosexuality is not part of God’s plan. It’s an “abomination” to Him, a perversion of His plan, a cheap substitute, and an attack against Him. Homosexuality, sodomy, lesbianism is NOT under grace – Never has been, never will be. God doesn’t bless or justify what He calls an abomination (Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1). Repent now sinner […]

Is Your Church Your Idol? [podcast]

Is Your Church Your Idol? (below)

Is Church Membership Biblical? (below)

SO, YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR CHURCH, THE PASTOR, THE PROGRAM, AND HOW YOU LOVE IT AND THE MUSIC AND EVENTS…YET THE NAME OF JESUS NEVER FLOWS FROM YOUR LIPS IN PRAISE? WOW! IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO REPENT, RETURN TO CHRIST, AND COME OUT FROM AMONG THE WICKED BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE! (2 CORINTHIANS 6:14)

EVER stop to ponder how we’ve commercialized, monetized, and grossly complicated what God ordained to be a time of rejoicing and blessing? Fellowship! Read Acts 2:42 and Colossians 3:16. Study the biblical model. Real fellowship with other saints is so simple, biblically. The bureaucracy of wolves has completely ruined such simplicity and that’s why so many no longer patronize their church busine$$e$ (2 Peter 2:1-3).

SO MANY TODAY WILL TALK ABOUT THEIR “CHURCH,” THEIR PASTOR, OR FAVORITE MINISTER – BUT NOT JESUS! THEIR WOLF HANDLERS ARE INDOCTRINATING AND USING THEM AS THEIR SALES AGENTS! SPIRITUAL ADULTERY. IDOLATRY.

Looking for the church means simply looking for other true members of Christ’s body! WE are HIS church – called out ones. Amen Jesus. Fellowship, Gatherings

“Church” today has become a staged event with a cast, crew and light show to entertain the members and seekers.

ANY thing you won’t give up for Christ – including religion – is a soul damning idol.

Are you doing the “church” thing or is your heart and life all about JESUS?

WHO is to have the preeminence? Church? The pastor? The organization? NO! Repent!

Colossians 1:18 says:

“And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.”

WHO, WHAT holds the ultimate “preeminence” in your heart? Colossians 1:18

IF you are not hearing that the ALMIGHTY commands you to lay down your life, you have placed yourself under a false prophet ministry and God is not going to bless you but rather going to turn you over to “strong delusion” so that you believe the cross-less lie and ultimately perish, all the while believing you were saved (Matt 7;21; 2 Thess 2:9-12; Titus 1:16; 1 John 2:4).

Is your “church” or is JESUS your “first love”? (Revelation 2:4-5)

So let me get this straight…

You run around telling people how much you love your church and pastor but never testify of the saving mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ? God is calling you to repent and be saved for real!

“Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 10:32-33

The vast majority of “churches” that meet in “church buildings” are simply and merely conducting “church services” where they entertain their prey. They are not equipping the saints for the work of the ministry and therefore discerned as being counterfeit (Ephesians 4:11-13). If they were, there would be salty disciples in their midst who go forth to minister Christ’s kingdom blessings where ever they went. Not even a trace of this transpiring in the apostate modern church world. Run. Run. Run.

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting (equipping, maturing) of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:” Ephesians 4:11-12

Jenn W. writes:

“That’s exactly why I left the church I grew up in. It turned into a social club almost like a cult that was more focused on people and the ‘church’ but none of it was centered around Jesus Christ at all. They all beg me to come back, but every time I pray asking God, ‘Do you want me to go back there, Lord?’ I always hear Him flat out tell me ‘NO!’ God is not the author of confusion, He gives us confirmation and full rest and peace in our spirit about decisions. Whenever I even think of going back there I feel anxiety and panic because I know God doesn’t want me there. We can’t people-please just because they want us to do something or tell us to ‘not forsake the assembly.’ They will use all types of guilt trips to make you try to conform down to their lukewarm level and fit in. I refuse to do that. The church is extremely carnal, and everyone is concerned with money and building mega-churches. They say when you’re too holy or sanctified that you are ‘legalistic,’ and they hate when you are set apart.”

Holy Ghost anointed preaching will ALWAYS lead you to fresh repentance.

Brett Gibney writes:

“Many small churches are more like businesses with employees to maintain. The member becomes a customer and the church entertains them for donations and offerings. The pastor is the boss and manager operating within a strict budget. Big business in today’s Christian movement. Jesus Christ has never been to the place they call ‘church.’ He would flip their book, DVD and CD tables over! When money and theatrics are involved, God isn’t! Nowhere in the Bible is the pastor called to run the church. They appoint themselves. The only difference between a calling and a occupation is a salary.”

We are going back to Acts 2:42-47.

Church is what you are, not somewhere you go!

PLEASE show us where anyone in the New Testament Scriptures went around looking for an elder, a pastor, a church? YES, fellowship is essential and so is submitting to our elders in Christ and yet, perhaps today, far too much emphasis is placed on these things (Hebrews 10:24-25; 13:7, 17, etc.). None of this matters if the individual disciple is not engaged in seeking the face of the LORD personally.

You don’t need a preacher because you have a Bible. Read it. You don’t need a preacher to tell you what the Bible says! Read it for yourself, learning yourself. Today is your day to take more personal responsibility to seek God for yourself! Jesus taught personal responsibility and the essential nature of it when He said “Take heed to yourselves” (Luke 21:34-36) …… Jesus is Coming.

WHEN a person truly repents, he clears all idols from his life and Jesus Christ is truly reigning – on the throne of His heart. 1 idol will eternally damn the soul the same as a million idols!

DENOUNCE THE IDOL OF SELF.

DENOUNCE THE IDOL OF RELIGION, A PASTOR, A CHURCH.

BE CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST.

NOW!

Memorize:

“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:22

Repent afresh. Seek God for real. Lay down your life in this world and follow Jesus. Cry out to Him to make you His authentic disciples, to strip all hypocrisy, deceit, depravity, and hatred in your heart. | Fresh Start with God

Many who initially believed will ultimately and eternally be damned for their idolatry…..

“Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: 43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.” John 12:42-43

“And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.” Mark 7:14-15

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.” Matthew 23:23-26

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“It is Godly to have a church building to meet in. Jesus does not speak against it. If there is one, just one church that preaches the Gospel, and there is, then this comment is leading people astray. Go visit, til you find the right church…don’t be lazy and loose your soul…Amen! But that is a half truth to deter people if there is one church preaching the Gospel. You are trying to be God!”

REPLY:

I don’t agree with it being godly necessarily….. A physical building is not a necessity and is usually a great hindrance and worse. Jesus didn’t specifically speak against a physical building but He DID speak against the wolves operating in those buildings. Jesus also didn’t practice it (erecting physical buildings) because He is divine and knows all things and how men make themselves kings and rich off of the people usually as they use that central meeting place for self-serving purposes….. and no, a physical building is not a sin in and of itself. It can’t be, yet what is going on in those apostate “churches” is usually not the New Testament biblical model but rather for the self-serving purposes of those Paul says are “enemies of the cross of Christ” (Philippians 3:18-19). Any Berean, discerning Bible student sees that.

You don’t seem to be Bible intensive and perhaps that’s because the wolves who are misleading you want to keep you ignorant so they can continue to use you (Hosea 4:6; Acts 17:10-11). When Jesus spoke of building His church (called-out ones), He was not speaking of something physical like a “church” building but rather the revelation truth of Himself in the hearts of His people (Matthew 16:17-19). You are not yet a discerning person but rather gullible and this is foolish….. Question: Did Jesus and His apostles ever collect one penny to building physical “church” building? yes or no please.

Most organizations, the vast majority functioning in buildings are misleading people and not preaching the original Gospel (Jude 3) You are deceived. The real Church – people of God- don’t need to go find a church because they are the church. Where does the Bible say to go find a church, to visit till you find one? And where does God’s Word say that you will lose your soul if you don’t find a church building to go to? Nowhere. There it is: You are being led to believe that attending the church building is salvation and not Christ – WHOM you have not once mentioned so you are an idolater.

So you have to wait till Sunday morning to preach the Gospel? Wow. There it is again – false church – where most pastors don’t want you doing the work of the ministry daily but rather to patronize their church business. You are telling on yourself. You are a product of a ministry based in a building that is misleading you. Not all are but it seems you are being misled by what you are saying which is a dead give away of what you’re being taught (Matthew 12:34; 5:16, 20). You didn’t mention Jesus Christ one time so obviously Heaven’s nail-scarred risen soon coming KING is not your first love nor being taught in your building based church (Colossians 2:18-19). This proves the point.

I don’t know what I am saying while I give you Scripture? Flash Point: Reading God’s Word and living by it is not “trying to be God.”

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“I’ve had people tell me that, even attending and supporting a church for over a year, that the church they were attending would not help them in a time of crisis because they were not members of that church.” M.

REPLY:

YES, have seen this same respect of persons many times brother! Sad! (Matt 25.) We shall all give full account to the One who said:

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.” Matthew 25:40, 45

Satan thinks he has Stolen the Fellowship of the Saints “Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” Revelation 12:12 Exhorting God’s People “Daily” – not weekly. “But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3:13 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing […]

Is Church Membership Biblical? [podcast]

Churchianity vs Christianity Many use the term “very involved in church” instead of deeply rooted and in love with Jesus Christ. See the difference? Beware. Christ Jesus is your identity. “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” Galatians 6:14 What is your identity? Why have you chosen such to be that which you identity with? Most pastors make a big deal out of belonging to some organization, church, or group—because this puts them in charge—instead of Jesus. Beware. […]

Godly and Ungodly Tradition and True and False Church Membership YOU KNOW you are in a fake church when they have “membership classes” to get you to join yet spend little or no time preaching the Word on the necessity of repentance, forsaking your life in this world, denying self, taking up the cross, and following Jesus daily! Run! Membership means money to them! They have a busine$$ plan. “Prove (test) all things; hold fast (keep and do) that which is good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:21 Of the 13 times we find the word “tradition(s)” in Scripture, only twice […]
