Pastor Who?
Have you noticed the ever-increasing number of ladies who call themselves by lofty titles reserved in the divine economy for men only? Have you been hearing things like “Pastor Mary,” “apostle Jane,” or “Prophetess Marquita,” etc. ….. Is this biblical?
“But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.” 1 Timothy 2:12
WOULD GOD LEAD A WOMAN TO CORRECT A MAN? There should be no question after reading this Bible verse. Women are not to teach NOR usurp authority over the man. There’s a stated order in God’s creation and in the Word for the family and the gatherings of the saints/church. The woman who argues doctrine with a man or seeks to rebuke/correct him is out of God’s order. Only a Jezebel would dare so such while claiming to serve Jesus. There’s only 1 example of a woman ruling over men in the New Testament and it’s JEZEBEL! (Revelation 2:20-24; 1 Timothy 2:11-12)
Excuse me Mam, you cannot possibly be a pastor, apostle, prophet, evangelist, or teacher of men in the sense of the office given only to those who are “the HUSBAND of one wife” which is an utter impossibility for a female (1 Timothy 3:2). Since when can a female be a “husband”? If she can’t be a “husband,” she is not qualified to be an elder in Christ’s body.
Resistance:
“Brother you sound too rigid!”
Reply:
By God’s grace, may He continue to make me rigidly aligned with and obediently faithful to Him alone. Like the Bereans, every true disciple is astute and diligently seeks to walk in the ways of the LORD as given us clearly in His Word. The wicked seek to pervert the truth of Holy Scripture as they are defiant against the LORD they claim to serve.
No angle of reasoning will justify this evil rebellion. This is a divinely-ordained role for men alone to fulfill and a non-negotiable, never-going-to-change truth. Anyone violating it will be judged (Revelation 2:20-23). Of Jezebel and all who allow, enable, and participate is such perversion, Jesus says He is going to “kill her children with death.” (Revelation 2:20-23) Anybody want to argue with the Son of God?
Even Jesus Christ, the very Alpha, Omega, and Almighty God “made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant.” (Philippians 2:7)
The callings listed in Scripture are places of humble serving as unto CHRIST and never to be used to elevate sinful self.
“As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: THATTTT God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:10-11
First and foremost, the kingdom of God is all about KING Jesus, not us!
Excuse Me Ahab – Sir!
Sir, if you are calling your wife a “pastor” a “co-pastor” or by whatever title, it’s time to repent. Women are the beloved creation of God and to be the “helpmeet” of their husband or daddy and the men around them – helping them fulfill the call of God on their lives. No woman is to ever “to usurp authority over the man.”
“But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” 1 Timothy 2:12-14
It’s time to repent and get aligned with the Word of God and cease perverting it for our own self-serving purpose!
Listen, two wrongs do not make a right! Increasingly we hear the voices of Jezebels and the Ahabs they have under their death grip crying “If men would just fulfill their calling, women wouldn’t have to step up and lead!” I say NONSENSE to this diabolical smokescreen! There is no case in the New Testament Scriptures where any woman is seen saying or doing such usurping.
Ladies, if you have been abused, join the club! If you have been abused by a man or men, go to the LORD Himself and repent of your own part if any in the matter and all your own sins and let Him heal you. In many cases the wounds you still have could be due to your spinning your wheels by condemning men when you should be repenting and seeking the LORD for His healing. His arm is not shorted but your sin of not seeking His face will stop you from receiving healing from His holy hand (Isaiah 59:1-3).
Anyone violating God’s order will be judged and this is precisely why He judged Thyatira (Revelation 2:20-23). Of Jezebel and all who allow, enable, and participate in such perversion of the roles of men and women, Jesus says He is going to “kill her children with death.” (Revelation 2:20-23) Anybody want to argue with the Son of God?
God’s Word tells us that men and women are “heirs together of the grace of life.” (1 Peter 3:7) This demonstrates equality in salvation and yet, God created men and women for distinct and unique purposes. The wife or woman is the “weaker vessel” and to be cherished and honored by her husband as well as she is to submit herself to her husband (1 Peter 3:7; Ephesians 5:21-27).
Speaking up about what the Bible says concerning the order of God’s church is not suppression toward women but rather simply observing the divine revelation given to us. We must follow His directions with respect to fearing and pleasing Him and not men or women. Order among the assemblies of believers where women are not to be in leadership does not negate the biblical truth and historical record of women serving in many capacities.
Concerning the instructions Paul gives concerning women in 1 Timothy 2, William MacDonald writes:
“As far as her part in public meetings of the church, a woman is to learn in silence with all submission. This is consistent with the rest of Scripture on this subject (1 Cor. 11:3-15; 14:34, 35).
When Paul says: I do not permit a woman to teach, he is speaking as inspired of God. This does not represent Paul’s own personal prejudice, as some say. It is God who decrees that women should not have a public teaching ministry in the church. The only exceptions to this are that they are permitted to teach children (2 Tim. 3:15) and young women (Tit. 2:4). Neither is a woman to have authority over a man. That means that she must not have dominion over a man, but is to be in silence or quietness. Perhaps we should add that the latter part of this verse is by no means limited to the local assembly. It is a fundamental principle in God’s dealings with mankind that man has been given the headship and that woman is in the place of subjection. This does not mean that she is inferior; that is certainly not true. But it does mean that it is contrary to God’s will that the woman should have authority or dominion over the man.
To prove his point, Paul first of all goes to the creation of Adam and Eve. Adam was formed first, then Eve. The very order of the creation was significant. By creating man first, God intended him to be the head, the one who would exercise direction, the one who would have authority. The fact that woman was created second means that she should be in submission to her husband. By passing his argument on the order of creation, Paul rules out any thought that this is a matter of local culture.
The second proof refers to the entrance of sin into the human race. Instead of approaching Adam directly, the serpent went to Eve with his temptations and lies. According to God’s intention, Eve should not have acted independently. She should have gone to Adam and put the matter before him. Instead of that, she allowed herself to be deceived by Satan and fell into transgression.” William MacDonald, Believer’s Bible Commentary, p. 2084

How to Get the Devil Out of Your Life [podcast]

Devil on Your Back?
Anybody remember that song “Shut thee door keep out the devil.” (thee is the sound not the).
It’s all over for the devil once you learn and apply the cross – the Bible concept of dying and letting Jesus reign in your life! Boom.
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
I’m sorry, what?! Read James 4:7 again!
Okay, so let me get this straight …. If I submit myself to God afresh, repent, return to Him with a whole heart, then I can “Resist the devil, and he will flee from” me? Isn’t that what you just read for yourself in James 4:7? Yes it is!
James 4:7 – Greatest spiritual warfare Scripture in the Bible right there!
You can pray till you’re blue in the face and Satan is going no where – till you repent.
You can entertain and titillate your mind all day long with surface level nuggets and ramblings and yet nothing explosive is going to occur, nothing powerful is going to happen in your life until you die the death – until you put your foot down, smashing Satan’s head, and declare that Jesus Christ alone reigns in your life from that moment forward!
When sin is vanquished from your life, Satan is vanquished – he no longer has any legal right, claim to you! He is shut out! Satan failed at tempting Jesus because Jesus refused to enter into the temptations the Devil laid before Him. Jesus was in a season of fasting and prayer. This is key for us as it’s what He commanded for us (Matthew 6:16).
“When ye fast … Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 6:16; 26:41
Recently was able to share with a man who was seeking victory over his sins. The instruction was that there is nothing, no sin he can’t fast out of his life – as he draws near to God in repentance, God will draw near to Him and make him free (James 4:8). See Isaiah 58. | Fasting and Prayer
It’s G.O.D. time = Game Over Devil!
On a regular basis and a whole lot lately, people come, call for prayer. The first order of business is to get the sin dealt with in their lives, then the devil is forced out – he then has no legal right to them and must flee.
IF you are not enduring sound doctrine – holding yourself accountable to divine truth – you are Hell bound. If your life is all about YOU instead of JESUS – you will dodge, twist, and manipulate Scripture to fit your own sinful whims, and vainly believe that God doesn’t see all your dissimulation.
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:2-4
If your pastor is not preaching the pure Word of God and watching for your eternal soul, you are completely deceived and being led to eternal damnation (Hebrews 13:7, 17). This would account for more than 90% of the fake “Christian” leaders operating today.
“For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” Isaiah 9:16
For explosive revelation of false prophets, read Jeremiah 23, Ezekiel 34, Matthew 23, and 2 Peter 2.
Now, today is your day to truly come before the throne of His grace while you can – before it’s too late. Nothing less than real, authentic repentance which produces a changed life will be in Heaven.
YOUR PRAYER: Jesus I am done with the Devil! I am sick and tired of living in sin and being battered by Your archenemy. Most of all, I want to love You supremely. I want to know You. Father, I come to You with an open, honest heart and ask You to forgive all my sins, to wash me clean in Thy precious blood dear LORD Jesus. Into Your holy hands I now submit my spirit, soul, and body. Make me whole LORD, as You alone can do. Please fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me in this last hour as we look for Your soon return. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Abiding
“Be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord” [podcast]

“Be Not Moved Away”
“If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;” Colossians 1:23
The victory is in Jesus Christ, and we are “stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:57-58
Remaining before the LORD, seeking His holy face “continually” is essential to abiding in Christ (1 Chronicles 16:11; John 15:1-16; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:16).
“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Romans 8:6
Being “stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the LORD,” has never been more essential than it is in this last hour before our LORD’s return.
Jesus is coming.
The Devil’s Diversions
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11
Satan has laid traps for each of us, snares of politics, non-essential doctrines, heresies, and fascinations of all kinds (2 Corinthians 2:11; Colossians 2:8-10; 1 Peter 5:8). Beware. His mission is to derail Christ’s saints from abiding oneness, fruitfulness – the fruit, more fruit, much fruit Christ has ordained us to walk in. Read John 15:1-16.
These things are of this fallen world and used by “the god of this world” himself, Satan (2 Corinthians 4:4).
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” 1 John 2:15-17
Why are there Christians who fall away from the work of Christ? – It’s because they ceased, fell away from the worship of Christ. Ceasing to participate in the work of Christ is the result of ceasing to worship Christ truly – becoming worldly or all about the fleeting cares and trinkets of this world.
“And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” Mark 4:17-19
“JESUS was met with hatred, and if you follow HIM you will be also. Hate mongers didn’t stop HIM, and shouldn’t stop us either.” Nelline Richard
Dear friend, be reminded that you will stand before the Almighty to give full account for your life in His earth that He gave you to steward for His eternal glory.
“We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.” Romans 14:10
Satan, the “god of this world”
As “the prince of the power of the air,” the evil one controls the airwaves and uses the noise to distract you, to confuse, and to anchor you in the temporal, the horizontal. This he does to prohibit/hinder your fellowship with the LORD, the vertical.
Are you living FREE or AFRAID/in FEAR?
“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:16-18
Someone has rightly stated: “Fear is the currency of control.”
“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” Colossians 3:1-4
“Jesus’ twelve disciples didn’t get rich off the gospel, they died for it.” Nelline Richard
Do you see this misconception of dragging a cross around as an issue, an erroneous view of what Christ and Paul spoke of concerning the daily cross and the purpose of it?
Yes exactly, and perhaps that’s what’s missing—the resurrection—from the erroneous view of the cross by the modern church….
Only Jesus bore our sins on that cross (Isaiah 53). Dragging our cross around daily won’t expiate for even one or any one of our sins….. we are debtors to live in the Spirit instead of the flesh
One disciple noted:
“We owe no debt to Christ. This is law—tit for tat thinking. Salvation is a gift. It is not a MasterCard account, but an unconditional gift. We are now to live after the Spirit, not the flesh. Yes, without the aid of the Holy Spirit the cross message is a burden with no good news. Lies. Romans 8:12. We are not debtors to the flesh. We are debtors to no one! We have been given a gift for which no debt was/is incurred.”
Heirs with Christ:
“12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” Romans 8:12-17
A Brother wrote:
“The worldly mind cannot think outside of ‘performance-based,’ tit for tat, earning blessing, merit based meritocracy, mammon based, law based labeling and judgmentalism, eye for eye, love those who love you back but not enemies. This is all a legalistic tree of knowledge of good and evil type mind and is dualism. God is non-dual, single, pure, not double-minded, sincere and the tree of life (love) which has a single-eyed view of life and lives in the way of the cross— unconditional self-sacrificial love.” T
The mind has to be turned upside down by the experience of the cross and resurrection to get this “mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16).
Perhaps this is all about the exchanged life, right?
Clearing the Noise
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2
Only the truth, embracing and obeying it, makes us free from confusion and fear (John 8:31-32, 36).
Is the Cross Meant to be Drudgery or Victory?
The cross makes us free from the chains of religion, false obligation, dead pursuits, and drudgery.
As you well know, there’s a common misconception that is in the mind of most Christians concerning Jesus’ command to deny self, take up the cross and follow Him…. WHAT does that really mean? Does it mean the believer has to drag some burden around every day of his life? Does it mean drudgery, misery, and a heavy weight (Matthew 11:28-30)?
Let’s clear this up, God willing brother. I know you’ve probably taught on this already since you’ve been teaching and learning the cross for a while…… is it correct that……
The cross isn’t a burden. It’s an instrument to crucify you so that you can be liquidated, raised up, and free to be glorifying to, and to be used of God (Galatians 2:40).
The cross is not a burden. It is an instrument of crucifixion so that you are set free to serve God in the resurrection grace of Jesus Christ who is the resurrection and the life.
The cross sets us free, resurrection life in Christ…..”
F.B. Meyer on Colossians 3:1-11
“SEEKING THE ‘THINGS THAT ARE ABOVE’
Let us repeat the glorious truth, which was doubtless the heart of Paul’s teaching, that our old nature has been nailed in Christ to the Cross, and laid in the grave; and that our real self, the second Adam, has entered the new world of resurrection. We belong to the world on the threshold of which Jesus said, ‘Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended.’ We must guard against the defiling touch of the world, of sin, and of the old self-life. We stand between two worlds, each solicits us: let us yield to the influences that pull us upward, and not to those that anchor us to this sinful and vain world. Our eternal blessedness has begun, let us walk in it.
In Christ we profess to have put off the old man, i.e., the habits of our former life, Col_3:9; now let us actually do so, in the power of the Holy Spirit. We profess to have put on the risen Christ, Col_3:10; now let us don the attire and habits of the new man. Too many Christians resemble Lazarus, quickened from his death-sleep, but still arrayed in grave-clothes. Too few array themselves in the radiant beauty of the risen Lord, which is the common heritage of all who believe in Him, whatever their rank or nationality.” F.B. Meyer
“WE (plural) are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9
NOTHING happening on God’s earth today is even remotely important compared to the work of Christ through His saints – to feed His flock and win the lost! That is the Great Commission He mandated to us and holds us accountable to accomplish! He’s with us beloved saints – all the way to the end – supplying every iota of grace and otherwise!
Jesus promised “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20
