What does God want His people to hate?

Limiting God to anything but the whole counsel of His written Word is a sin:

“Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.” Psalms 78:41

The true disciple is a student of Christ. He lives by the faith of Christ breathed into His spirit by the Word and the Holy Spirit (John 4:23-24; Romans 10:17; 2 Corinthians 3:6, etc.). The follower of Christ proves such by his seeking out and acknowledging and obedience to the whole will, the WORD of God (Psalms 119; John 8:47). He has truly repented and therefore lives to please the Savior by adhering to the WHOLE counsel of God’s Word – letting God’s Word be true and EVERY mere man a liar (Acts 20:20, 27, 32; Romans 3:4; 2 Timothy 3:16-17). In contrast, we see how so many have landed themselves on the spiritual trash heap by allowing themselves to get derailed along the way – many times by false teachers who insist on preaching things that do not align with the WHOLE counsel of God’s Word (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12). Many of their prey pigeon hole themselves into some doctrinal slant or religious framework, thereby living the remainder of their days deceived and ditched. They are then “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (2 Timothy 3:7) They thereby limit God or seek Him on some basis other than His Word. This is one reason the psalmist stated that he HATED “EVERY false way.” Are you walking in a “false way”? (Psalms 119:104, 128)

“Hate”?

YES “HATE”!

Do you truly “HATE” that which is a twist, that which is a corruption, that which is not according to the FULL counsel of God’s Word? Listen to the man after God’s own heart declare his hatred!

“Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.” Psalms 119:104

David received “understanding” because he sought the LORD by studying His Word. God’s Word was the final authority of his life. Is God’s Word truly the final divine authority of your life?

“Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. 12  Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.   Psalms 119:127-128

In many cases the deceived ones are those who simply “go to church” and are basically the pawn, the slave of the pastor, never bearing fruit in their daily life (John 15:1-16). They lead no one to Jesus and are powerless. They wonder why there’s no good fruit in their lives. Years and even decades are wasted. Yet, to be delivered, they must pull up the roots of their derailment – rebellion, following mere men instead of God – by not truly studying for themselves, learning, knowing, and adhering to the FULL counsel of His Word.

“STUDY (divine command) to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

Those who refuse to personally “study” God’s Word will not be able to rightly divide it and will ultimately be “ashamed.”

Jesus gave a scathing rebuke to the false religionists of His day who put their tradition before God’s Word – who followed mere sinful religious men instead of the LORD.

“He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment (Word, instruction) of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” Mark 7:6-10

We often hear people using the term “my truth” which is completely self-serving, subjective, and laughable. Hell awaits all who live by their own “truth” instead of God’s truth – from Genesis to Revelation.

SCRIPTURE TESTIFIES TO THE TRUTH THAT GOD IS LOVE AND GOD IS JUST AND TO BE FEARED, WORSHIPED, AND OBEYED. SYNTHESIZE ALL OF SCRIPTURE SAINTS. “ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD” AND NOT JUST SOME SCRIPTURE (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

“Acts 20:20   I KEPT BACK NOTHING. Paul preached whatever he believed was useful or needful for the salvation of his hearers. A minister of the gospel must be faithful to declare the whole truth of God to his people. He must not seek to please their desires or gratify their tastes, nor to promote his own popularity. Even if he must speak words of reproof and rebuke, teach doctrines that run counter to natural prejudices, or preach Biblical standards that oppose the desires of the flesh, the faithful preacher will deliver the whole truth for the sake of the flock (e.g., Gal. 1:6-10; 2 Tim. 4:1-5).” Life in the Spirit Study Bible, Donald Stamps, p. 1705

WHY DO SOME HEAR AND BELIEVE SLANDER?

WHY DO SOME MIGRATE TO HERESIES?

What God’s Word says of those who have an ear for lies – A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.” Proverbs 17:4

WHO gives ear, who listens to “false lips”? – “A wicked doer … a liar.”

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ, my only and whole access to You. LORD, please break me, change me, beginning now. Please forgive me for not seeking Your holy face, for not studying, learning, knowing, and meditating upon Your Word diligently, thoroughly. Heavenly Father, teach my Thy ways, I ask. Grant my heart to discern, to see, to know You and to rightly divide Your Word. Here this very moment, I declare that my conscience is captive to Your Word. Let me never be deceived or misled from You holy Father. I ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ my LORD and Savior, amen!

The Good Shepherd and His True Sheep [podcast]


“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant …” Hebrews 13:20

“To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.” John 10:3 

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.” John 10:27-29

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3:1-13

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” Luke 9:23-25

Eating the Fat, and Drinking the Sweet! [podcast]


Mourning Trumps Merriment in Christ’s Kingdom

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I’d like to walk in Your bless-ed joy, filling my life to overflowing, no matter what’s transpiring. LORD, I ask You to do Your deeper work in my heart, in my life. Please set apart my life to truly glorify You, being full of the fruits of Your righteousness. In Jesus’ Name, amen.

Everyone desires the joy of the LORD, right? Yes, yet only those who are willing to devour His Word – to get it into their hearts and keep it flowing into their hearts, will experience that great joy of the LORD which is our strength! In context, the joy of the LORD is the strength of those who read it, hear it, embrace it, adhere to it, and keep it flowing into their mind and heart daily! (Nehemiah 8:8, 10)

“So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly (directly), and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. … 10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:8, 10

After they had feasted on God’s Word, the elders of Israel said to them: You are now full of the Word. Now “Go your way”, that is, go home and be blessed to “send portions” of the bounty of the LORD you’ve been filled with today to overflowing. “Freely ye have received, freely give.” (Matthew 10:8) Let your cup run over and bless others! Let your light shine into others, may your cup run over onto others, to bless them with the bountiful blessings of the LORD you have received.

We have to eat the fat and drink the sweet of the Word of God to be filled with the joy of the LORD which is our strength!

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

Nourishing the Body of Christ

“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6

DO people know they can find the rich treasures of God’s Word when they walk into your life, when they visit your social media page? (Colossians 3:16) Will they be “nourished” by the milk and meat of God’s bless-ed Word when they are graced to be in your company?

“There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise.” Proverbs 21:20

Holy Father, we ask You in the name of Jesus to make us happy in Jesus as You’ve forgiven and freed us from our sin and so of all people on Your earth, only Your people can be truly happy in Thee dear LORD. Please bless each of Your beloved saints to be anointed for the death and burial of the self life and raised up in Your blessed resurrection grace and joy. In Jesus’ name let it be dear LORD.

“These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” John 15:11

Pride and False Prophets [podcast]


“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.”  Matthew 24:11

What’s the difference between true and false servants of the LORD?

Jeremiah 23 is essential concerning recognizing the “MANY false prophets” which Jesus foretold would “deceive MANY” in this late hour before His return (Matthew 24:11).

True servants of the LORD stand in the counsel, the WORD of the LORD and not in the evil imaginations, dreams, or visions of their own wicked hearts.

Jeremiah 23
“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17  They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18  For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
19  Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20  The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
21  I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22  But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.”

ARE YOU in God’s Word daily or have you backslidden? It’s either one or the other.

True servants of the LORD, as was the case with Paul and Timothy, will get YOU into God’s Word for yourself…

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2

So both the LORD’s apostle Paul and the apostle Peter instructed believers to get into the Word of God for themselves – to “study” and to “desire” it. Any man pretending to represent Christ and not do this very thing repeatedly is a bona fide wolf in sheep’s clothing, a devil.

Imagine parents who continued to feed their infant and never taught that baby to pick up the spoon and feed themself….  so that child would perpetually be dependent upon someone else feeding them…. in the natural this is unheard of, yet it’s rampant in that which claims to be Christ’s “church.”

Read Jeremiah 23.

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.”  James 4:6-10

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1

Pride vs Humility

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18) True humility before God first, then men, always wins – “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” (James 4:10)
