The Fear of the LORD is to Hate Evil: Pride, and Arrogancy #shorts [video]

TODAY’s apostate preachers created a counterfeit generation of false converts, entitled, self-serving counterfeits. There is no fruit proving they are truly born again. Their “christianity” consists of “church” attendance at a cross-less fake church that uses a fake “bible”, preaches a fake “Jesus”, and has a fake “pastor.” Beware. This was specifically foretold (2 Timothy 3:1-13; 4:1-5).

The true disciple of Jesus will listen only to men who fear God and not you/them (2 Samuel 23:3; Matthew 10:28; Galatians 1:10) – and therefore they forcefully declare the whole of His truth straight up into your face! Repent or perish, sinner!

“Love this podcast! Thank you. We go to the home (retirement) to minister every week except one. Another church does it. We got mixed up on our weeks and the other people showed up. So we stayed and it was unbelievable what we witnessed! No Bible! They had a folder! Everything was in this folder. All prayers, the message, all of it! They couldn’t find the folder and were panicked. Of course because they had nothing without it! All was completely scripted! They did not even talk to the residents! No love of Jesus! They were like robots! No Holy Spirit and no Jesus! All mechanical!! Dead religion. After they left the residents didn’t move. Because they were waiting to be fed. So we stayed and gave them some good nourishment from the Lord! Shocking!” Karen Cochran

Wise and true disciples of Jesus are not leaving the fake churches because they are departing from the faith but rather because they are preserving their faith, their eternal souls and departing from the fake “bibles,” the fake “pastors,” the fake “Jesus,” and the fake “gospel” (Galatians 1:6-9; 1 Timothy 4:1-2).

Modern “church” gatherings do not resemble what we see in Scripture and anyone who thinks so, is biblically illiterate…. needs to get into the Word for themselves. Speaking of which, 99% of modern churches use fake “bibles”…. laughable. They have fake pastors, fake “bibles,” a fake “Jesus,” and fake churches.

“Folks, I’m not trying to make enemies, but I will speak truth: every Sunday I see comments and posts and memes on here; some of you blasting people who don’t attend a church building. Newsflash: I am a member of the church, Christ’s body, no matter where I am. The biblical command for assembly is where two or three are gathered in Jesus’ name. Frankly, that is all that’s required for biblical assembly. Do you want to go to church? That’s fine; but nowhere in the Bible are we commanded or expected to gather in a building with unconverted people and call it ‘church.’ I love you all, but some of you need to come out of those buildings and get back in the word of God! In love and truth; as a brother should.” Michael Neff

Doctrines Missing from the Modern Church

If they use a fake “bible” this proves they are a fake fellowship.
Tell us all why you justify the removal of the BLOOD of Jesus in Colossians 1:14 in your fake “bible”? Please explain why you believe it’s ok that Romans 8:1 is chopped in half in the “bible” you read? How about answering why it’s ok in your mind that the words of Jesus in Matthew 17:21 were chopped out, completely removed. What does Revelation 22:18-19 severely warn us about?

How to Spot a Fake “bible”

ANYONE can rent or build a building and put chairs and a pulpit in it. THAT doesn’t make him a true elder in Christ’s kingdom.

There are 2 key truths concerning authentic elders, of which there are very few today amidst the many who claim to be.

1. They speak the pure Word of God (Hebrews 13:7).

2. They watch for the souls of the saints (Hebrews 13:17).

The visible church is not a physical building nor necessarily those who enter one, once a week. “YE are God’s building” (1 Corinthians 3:9).

“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 2:5

The Greek word for “church” is ekklesia which means the people, the called out ones.

If those church building gatherings were operating by the Word of God, why is 95% of the professing church in the horrible place of apostasy we see? WHAT is the fruit of the modern church building gatherings other than no repentance, no holiness, no blood, no cross, no crucified life, no evangelism, etc?

The Professing Modern Church Exposed

The visible “church” doesn’t represent the real church, the people. Building Christ’s kingdom in the hearts of men. This is exactly what Jesus meant when He declared “I will build my church” (Matthew 16:18). He certainly didn’t mean corral people to entertain them with fake “bibles”, fake “pastors” who preach another, a fake “Jesus.”

“Upon this rock (the revelation that Jesus is the Messiah) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18

The modern “church” world is overflowing with greed-driven covetous men who are building their own church busine$$ and have no intention to repent (2 Peter 2:1-3). In their lame seminary they learned and are using a cookie cutter business model as they run a scam on the self-serving gullible pawns who support them. Those who have truly repented are about the “Father’s business” as was Christ and not about building their own church business. God warned us and He also declared that anyone who helps these wolves build anything but HIS kingdom will perish, will go to hell with them.

See 2 Peter 2:1-3 and 2 John 10-11.

You feel all good about yourself because you attend a “church” meeting weekly and yet there is no cross in your life or daily seeking the face of the LORD in His Word, prayer, or evangelizing the lost. Counterfeit.

How many church going “Christians” do you know who are living the crucified life Jesus says is essential for knowing and following Him? See Luke 9:23-24; 14:27. Let me guess, that like me you know zero “church” building attending mere professors who are living the crucified life, ministering to others daily, living a life of prayer, etc., right?

“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:” Revelation 2:26

Dead. Buried. Raised Up Daily!

So you are all hyped about your “church” and yet not in the Word daily, living a life of prayer, and evangelizing the lost? We just defined an unrepentant, fruit-less counterfeit.

“These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots.” Jude 12

WHAT will you say to the nail scarred risen LORD on Judgment Day when you made it about something else other than Him?

The cross. Studying God’s Word for yourself. Living a life of prayer. Obeying Christ’s Great Commission command, etc. – Your fake “pastor” hasn’t mentioned or made these biblical things known to you because he’s too busy using you to build his own enterprise. And because you are not a true and honest student of Christ, of His Word, you are easily deceived.

WE are nothing, we don’t exist, we have nothing without JESUS! See John 15:5; Colossians 1.

Pinnacle Revelation

Knowing God is the paramount divine purpose for which He sent His only begotten Son ….. and for which He created, made us.

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3

Knowing God is the reason He sent His only begotten Son—to bring us to Himself in a present and eternal relationship (Exodus 25:8; Psalms 27:4, 8; Philippians 3:10, etc.). One of Satan’s tricks is to get the elders to intercept that heart affection worship.

“And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.” Exodus 25:8

“It has always been about Jesus. Before Christ came to save us from our sins, the Bible was pointing to Jesus. Now after Christ came, we still look to Jesus. It has always been about knowing and trusting in Jesus. Before He came people just did not know His name, but now we do!” Serena Wagner

It’s not about elders, bishops. or pastors. Christ’s eternal kingdom is all about Jesus and no other. Read John 1; Colossians 1-2; Hebrews 1; Revelation 1.

The only way to “know him” is to be “made conformable unto his death.”

“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;” Philippians 3:10

In knowing and loving God, should we not desires to keep everything out of our lives which would interfere with that relationship?

“The early Christians were intensely Christ centered. Jesus Christ was their pulse beat. He was their life, their breath, and their central point of reference. He was the object of their worship, and the subject of their songs, and the content of their discussions and vocabulary. The New Testament church made the Lord Jesus Christ central and supreme in all things.” Pagan Christianity

“I read a story about Richard Burton the actor. It seems to fit what was spoken in this podcast. Richard Burton was asked in his church to stand up and recite the 23rd Psalm. He was impressive with how he spoke. And left the people ‘spellbound”. When he finished the crowd broke out in a huge applause. He then asked his retired Pastor to do the same. So this old retired Pastor rose from his wheelchair and with a feeble voice and much shivering he began to speak. When he was done there was not a dry eye in the place. The actor rose and his voice quivered as he said, ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, I reached your eyes and ears, but my old pastor had reached your hearts. The difference is just this: I know the Psalm, but he knows the Shepherd.’ Just as we see in the modern day churches. They do not know the Shepherd! Only know of Him! They don’t know Him in their hearts. So it’s all fake. Our relationship with God should not be based on what we know of Him. But based on knowing Him!” Karen Cochran

The Cross

IF you are not hearing the cross, the crucified life and knowing Jesus and the Father, you are sitting under “another gospel” (John 17:3; Galatians 1:6-9; 2:20; 6:14; Philippians 3:10; Colossians 1-2).

Today’s wolves coercively indoctrinate their prey into believing they must belong to that certain “church” instead of fostering a love for God, for Jesus in them. They are not upholding, exalting and glorifying JESUS (Colossians 1-2)!

Has not the modern church been turned into anything but knowing, seeking, loving, worshipping, and obeying Jesus? This is the spirit of antichrist which has replaced the worship of the nail-scarred risen Savior. He is not upheld, they are not holding Him up, upholding Jesus Christ. See Colossians 2:18-19.

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3

“These early believers loved Jesus with their whole hearts. He was the central focus of their lives! Unlike the churches today who are centered on self, and Jesus is no where to be found. He stands at the door and knocks but they won’t let Him in.” Karen Cochran

Dancing on the Defeated Devil’s Grave! Get some! Now!

BARELY GETTING ALONG OR FLOURISHING, THRIVING IN THE RESURRECTION POWER OF JESUS CHRIST? (Romans 8:11-14; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12)

Who’s ready for a satanic slap down? (Acts 10:38; 1 John 3:8)

The cross of Christ and the one He commanded us to take up daily is our weapon against Satan and his unholy minions! Jesus defeated Satan by dying and so shall we die to self as we follow our LORD Jesus (Colossians 2:14-19; Hebrews 2:14).

The cross gets us out of the way so that the relationship for which God created us can flourish (John 17:3; Philippians 3:10).

Wow, the heart of the Gospel is coming to light, God is bringing it to the light…. knowing Him via the crucified life (Philippians 3:10)!

“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;” Philippians 3:10

“Knowing God and the cross: That nails it! As I read how these early believers loved Jesus and He was their whole life, I started to see how my life has changed since embracing the cross. The things I used to enjoy, fleshly, worldly, I no longer enjoy! I want my whole life to be about Jesus! Just as the early believers. If Jesus isn’t involved I don’t want to be involved! It is no longer what I want but what my Lord wants! God has changed my heart. I desire what he desires. Psalm 37:4. Through the cross, the crucified life our hearts are increasingly circumcised as God changes our desires to desire what He desires. Hallelujah! It’s no longer about you, but Jesus!” Karen Cochran

“One man fully surrendered to God is more valuable than 10,000 men who attend church.” unknown

“Disciples are not raised up in Bible schools or in buildings wearing their Sunday best. They are made in the furnace with much affliction and persecution. But we count it all as joy!” unknown

“How true this is! Sad! It is called “churchianity” and has ABSOLUTELY N.O.T.H.I.N.G to do with Jesus Christ or following Him or the Kingdom of God! NOTHING! It is a RELIGIOUS SCAM.” Clare R. Watts

“Many years ago we were part of a church that preached this. The idea was to bring them in! Then do not preach anything that might make them uncomfortable or offend. Especially do not preach sin, salvation, or repentance. They wanted the church to be nonthreatening. Do not do or say anything to scare them away. I guess they get saved by osmosis. Jesus offended. John 6:60, many of His disciples told Him ‘these are hard sayings, who can hear it.’ In v 61 Jesus responded “Doth this offend you?” And it did because v 66 says many walked away. That was their choice. Jesus didn’t soften the gospel because it offended people.” Karen Cochran

It’s not only WHAT a man is teaching, more insidiously, it’s what he’s NOT teaching. And if you don’t know God’s Word yourself, you’ll never know what’s being left out of today’s false gospel.

Yet we have so many claiming their pastor is the best, their church is amazing, etc. Yet, do these same people know the Word (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:15-17, etc.)? Are they in God’s Word daily? Are they denying self, taking up the cross, and following Jesus daily (Luke 9:23-24)?

As many of you will relate, I can’t tell you how many people have sworn how great their “church” and pastors are. Only needed to listen to 20 minutes of one of their pastor’s sermonettes which included so very little Scripture and in addition to that, they are using fake “bibles.”

Recently a head “pastor” / “elder” took exception from our different views of what constitutes true fellowship, assembling as Christ’s saints (Acts 2:42; Colossians 3:16; Hebrews 10:25). This same seminarian graduate “pastor” didn’t know God’s Word very well and so we can assume neither did his audience. They held bingo meetings at that “church.”

Most have no idea that they are being played by a priesthood of Vatican indoctrinated seminarians, false prophets. And most of those professional seminarian “pastors” have no idea how much they’ve been deceived. Many or most of them have never been born again. Upon attending Bible college myself, it became more than evident that most of the students, future hireling “pastors” were not even saved—and didn’t want to be.

When the Jesuit devils infiltrated the seminaries, the first thing they did was replace the King James Bible with Vatican corrupted and controlled “bibles.” They all come from the corrupt lineage of manuscripts.

In preparation for the one world religion, this Vatican infiltration began in the 1950’s (Revelation 17-18). Billy Graham the traitor greatly participated and because so many upheld that antichrist masonic devil as a type of protestant pope, they were ensnared.

ARE WE hearing Bible truth like this? If not, what does that reveal about those we’ve chosen to sit under?

“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:” Hebrews 12:14

“I have had many argue with me over this verse. They will say I can’t be holy, I sin everyday and am only human. So I guess they accept that as fact and are content to stay living in their sin. Holiness is a requirement to be able to enter God’s presence. There will be consequences for continuing in a life of sin. ‘For the wages of sin is death’ (Romans 6:23).” Karen Cochran

What about 2 Corinthians 7:1? Look it up if you don’t yet have it memorized.

What about the myriad of Bible verses, passages on the cross, the crucified life? Ever hear them from your favorite “pastor”? If not you are willingly deceived and he’s an enemy of the cross of Christ – “Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things” (Philippians 3:18-19). Personal holiness is essential and the Gospel imperative of the cross makes this possible.

We cannot get to God’s end till we obey His means to that end. Death and burial preceded His resurrection blessing!

Those who wish to continue in their sins that separate them from God who is Holy, evade/ run from the sound doctrine of Holy Scripture which centers upon the cross of Christ and the one He mandated that we take up daily (Luke 9:9:23-24).

“But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:22-23

Speaking of the apostate modern church world and the lies being told to the people….

“Easy believism. Just let me say a quick prayer (no repentance) so I can go to heaven. Then let me go and live my best life now! No requirements. No conditions. Don’t ask me to give up anything for Christ. I will mention His name once in awhile and even pray when I may need something but I don’t want a relationship. I am busy with my life. I will continue to come to church and tithe but any mention of hell, dying to self, repentance, holiness, sin, and judgment I will leave and not come back. I can find another church with a Pastor that will tickle my ears. The mind of a modern, lukewarm, living my best life now, Christian!” Karen Cochran

Church membership, false teachings, and religious organizations are a trap. These are Satan’s agents to keep you from the King and eternity with Him. The harshest rebukes issued forth from Christ upon the false priesthood of frauds of His day and nothing has changed (Ecclesiastes 1:9; Matthew 23, etc.). He didn’t flip the tables of the heathen but rather of the money changers in the temple upon those who had replaced the worship of Him to make those gatherings a den of thieving wolves (Matthew 21; John 2). Jesus and His apostles constantly warned us of this… Matthew 7:15; 24:11; 2 Peter 3:17; Colossians 2:6-10; Revelation 3:11, etc.

The biblical revelation, the truth concerning what the humble assembling of Christ’s saints is to look like seems to produce in us a pleasant soberness, right?… Acts 2:42; Colossians 3:17, etc.

As Peter specifically pointed out, the rah-rah sessions we call “worship services” are constructed to make merchandise of the people, to make them feel obligated to pay into it, to fund the circus, to keep them spinning (2 Peter 2:1-3). Jesus is flipping the tables on those who have made His house (the occasion for His body to meet and love on Him and each other) into a den of thieves (Matthew 21 and John 2).

Church Membership Exposed

“Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.” Ezekiel 3:21

Is the blood off your hands? Are you warning those around you?

This doesn’t require screaming at anyone but rather communicating to them what lies ahead for every eternal soul (Proverbs 15:11; Mark 16:16, etc.).

“Therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.” Ezekiel 33:7

One will never see until he seeks.

“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11

Any and every person who has not repented and chosen to have a heart after God, is not going to be with Him in eternity (1 Samuel 16:7; Psalms 57:7; 63:8; Matthew 5:6; 15:8; Acts 13:22, etc.).

“If modern Christians refuse to serve the Lord now on this earth, why would they want to serve Him in heaven? As many hearts are far from Him. (Matthew 15:8). Would God want anyone in His kingdom who does not love Him with all their heart, soul and mind (Matthew 22:37)? Those who love Him supremely want to obey and serve Him with all their hearts. His true disciples will be His servants in the New Jerusalem (Revelation 22:3). ‘And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him.” All others who don’t love Him and are busy serving self will be vanquished into the eternal flames.” Karen Cochran

“We would see Jesus.” John 12:21

Anyone who is in darkness, does not see, is blind … is blind due to their HEART not being turned to the LORD, truly. They have not truly repented afresh and are not seeking the fake of the LORD. They are out of communion, out of fellowship with God. There’s no way to walk with the light of the world on HIS stated terms an not be walking in the light of His truth (Psalms 119:130; John 8:12).

“But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. 15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 16 Nevertheless WHEN it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. 17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 3:14-18

The only reason we, each of us has been deceived in the past is due to our own biblical ignorance (Proverbs 24:5; Hosea 4:6; 2 Timothy 2:15). Lacking the knowledge of the Word, we didn’t see what they were LEAVING OUT. We didn’t know to discern what they were teaching and what they were NOT teaching. Now, as we grow in the knowledge of the LORD through diligent daily study of His Word, we know to look for the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith. For example, WHERE O WHERE is the cross, the crucified life being taught in the apostate modern church? Virtually nowhere! AND, there is no overcoming of sin (which separates us from God) without the cross life, without being crucified with Christ daily (Luke 9:23-24; Romans 6, etc.).

ANY man pretending to be representing Christ and not preaching the cross Christ preached, mandated, is a wolf. 100%. Run.

“Some people aren’t worshipping the Jesus of the Bible, but rather, a Jesus they’ve created in their own minds with their own opinions and preferences. That’s called idolatry.” Shane Pruitt

Counterfeits don’t care about the murdered or continual murder of innocent precious babies …… they just want to go back to their Laodicean lifestyle.

IF your giving is to something that is not biblically true to Jesus’ Great Commission, you are funding a fraud, you are bidding God speed to hell bound wolves in sheep’s clothing and will be judged with them.

“If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 10-11

TODAY: A close friend of mine who is a brother in Christ sent me this. He has orphanages in Uganda. He called today to tell me about the fake “church” he goes to in the Dallas area that is currently raising and collecting $16 MILLION dollars to build a pickle ball and basket ball court. They fully know of his orphanages in Uganda. Anyone wish to guess how much money they gave him to help support the Gospel work he’s doing? Take a guess in the comments if you wish….

***ANYONE GIVING TO SUCH A FRAUD “CHURCH” PROVES TO BE A LOST SOUL. REPENT NOW.

Let me get this straight ….
The wolf you call “pastor” is collecting money to build a new building, to build a basketball court, to increase his real estate portfolio, etc. ….. and you still don’t see he’s a fraud?

WHERE did Jesus or His holy apostles collect one penny to build any building to further Christ’s kingdom? Chapters and verses please.

AND WE WONDER WHY AMERICA IS OVER? This is the same list of sins Sodom was cited for just before total destruction (Ezekiel 16:49-51). – “neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy” (Ezekiel 16:49).

The root sins that led to the complete destruction of Sodom and Gom0rrah.

The Forgotten Sins of Sodom [podcast]

It’s time to cease building the church busine$$es of evil men and begin building Christ’s kingdom in the hearts of men.

This is exactly what Jesus meant when He declared “I will build my church” (Matthew 16:18).

“Upon this rock (the revelation that Jesus is the Messiah) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18

If a pretend elder is not equipping people for “the work of the ministry,” launching them, etc., such a man is a fraud 100%.

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

God didn’t send His only begotten Son to come die for His people to they could be church members of a wolf. There’s no such thing as church membership in the early church. No one raised a penny to build an official “church” building. No they WERE the church and lived like it. The money was spent to build Christ’s kingdom, to take care of those called out full-time as Christ’s Gospel laborers, and the CHRISTIANS who were poor/needed help at the time.

“False preachers and teachers always preach to your emotions and pride: making you feel good about yourself. The gospel of Jesus Christ, which stresses repentance and dying to self will absolutely not appeal to our emotions! I felt about 2 inches tall when I heard the truth about myself. It was the worst “feelings” that lead to the best decision I’ve ever made or will make.” Michael Neff

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, I come to You as an absolute fraud, a vile and depraved sinful man. Bust up the depth of my cold hardened heart—at the innermost core of this being. Please strip all the evil. Break me. Cleanse me. Do Your deep work in this life dear LORD. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Executing Christ's Great Commission [podcast]

WHAT A WONDERFUL SAVIOR Jesus walked the streets offering His hope to fallen mankind. He sent us to do the same – and instructed us to pray to the Father for His labourers to be sent forth. Matthew 9 The Harvest Is Plentiful, the Laborers Few “35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep […]

Is Your Pastor Teaching You to Overcome All Sin? [podcast]

do podcast MOST who claim to be Christ’s live according to what suits THEM not Christ. “Depart from me” is coming if they don’t repent (Matthew 7:21-23; 25:40-46). “And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.” 2 Corinthians 5:15 well that narrows it down to about the same number as were on the Ark with Noah. HE”s coming soon. Most will be horrified. No man is tempted beyond his/her ability to resist. Therefore all willful sin is a choice we […]

Church Membership, Manipulation, and Money [podcast]

Is there a connection between church membership and money? “Her princes (leaders) in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.” Ezekiel 22:27 There is no evidence in the New Testament of what we see today perpetrated as “church membership.” Church membership is merely a tool in the aresenal of modern pastors to capture the souls and the money of those ensnared by it. “Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.” 2 Corinthians 1:24 In […]

How to Spot a Fake Bible [podcast]

Please don’t balk till you read these 3 verses. This is indefensible to the sane mind! “He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.” (Proverbs 18:13) In 2016 the Berean Study Bible (BSB) was introduced. Sounds good, right? Not! There are 3 verses we use to acid test “bibles”: Matthew 17:21; Romans 8:1; and Colossians 1:14 As usual, this BSB was taken from the known corrupted manuscripts instead of the Textus Receptus from which the KJB comes from. In the BSB, typically, we find: Matthew 17:21 was removed, Romans 8:1 was chopped in […]

Top 12 Missing Essential Doctrines in the Modern Church World! [podcast]

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOUR “CHURCH” OR FAVORITE PREACHER? It’s real simple… if they are not preaching the cardinal doctrines of the original Gospel given to us in the New Testament, they are preaching “another gospel” and are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9). “For MANY DECEIVERS ARE ENTERED INTO THE WORLD, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, […]

The Truth about Church Attendance and the Modern Church [podcast]

The LORD has created and then died to save you into His kingdom family. He saved you primarily and first and foremost to know Him (John 17:3). This relationship with the LORD must always be first priority and anything else is damning idolatry (Exodus 20:3-4). Some people are so worn out by their involvement with their local “church” that they don’t even deeply study God’s Word for themselves. Something’s got to give – and for the God-fearing, the local church involvement will give! “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing […]

“Seven Women shall take hold of One Man” [podcast]

Two Types of Believers – the mere professor and the possessor.

God created us and sent His only begotten Son that we might know Him.

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3

THE POSSESSORS

“In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.” Isaiah 4:2

The LORD Jesus is “the branch … beautiful and glorious” shall He be and shall be His reign. One commentation of this passage is as follows:

“Isaiah 4:2
a    [In that day] In that day—the Millennium (Isa_4:1-6).
b    [branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious] Christ is the Branch of the Lord that shall be eternally “beautiful and glorious” in the Millennium and New Earth periods (Isa_9:6-7; Isa_11:1; Jer_23:5; Jer_33:15; Zec_3:8; Zec_6:12; Zec_14:1-9; Rev_11:15).
c    [fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely] The earth will be restored to normal fertility and productivity when Christ comes (Isa_35:1-7; Isa_58:11-12; Joe_2:21-27).
d    [escaped of Israel] A remnant of Israel shall escape the future tribulation and battle of Armageddon (Isa_4:2-3; Zech. 13:8-14:14; Mat_24:31; Mat_25:31-46).”

“Them that are escaped of Israel” refers to those who come out of her, that is, they come out from among the tares or counterfeits who merely profess to be serving God and yet aren’t, and therefore do not have the fruit to prove they are truly Christ’s (Titus 1:16; Matthew 3:7-10). Those who escape the judgment to come upon the hypocrites “take root downward, and bear fruit upward” and that means they are complying with Christ and being crucified, that is dead to the self-life, buried, and raised up by Christ, bearing fruit “UPward.” Here’s the whole verse: “And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward” (Isaiah 37:31).

Eternal resurrection blessings untold await those who are “accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man” (Luke 21:34-36).

The Branch of the Lord Glorified

“In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. 3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: 4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. 5 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence. 6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.” Isaiah 4:2-6

Only a remnant will remain. And Isaiah is saying here that God will bring these few through “…the spirit of judgment, and…the spirit of burning” (same verse, Isaiah 4:4). This great separation is coming.

The LORD is purifying a people for Himself. In Daniel we read:

Daniel 11:35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.

Daniel 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

Those who are truly Christ’s fellowship with other of His true disciples and also with elders who like Christ’s apostle Paul, jealously brood over God’s people, to protect them. They discern and gather with those who embrace and preach the original Gospel and expose those who preach and espouse “another Jesus … another spirit … another gospel.”

“For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.” 2 Corinthians 11:2-4

THE MERE PROFESSORS

“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” Titus 1:16

Please explain….What kind of relationship is based on the participation of only one of the parties? A non existent dying relationship. The eternal security heretics are self-serving. They could care less about Jesus but rather simply wish to use Him to get them out of Hell without any kind of a real and abiding, fruit-bearing vital union relationship with Him (John 15:1-16). Seems this is what the Holy Spirit is getting at when He led Isaiah the prophet to pen these words:

“And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.” Isaiah 4:1

In other words, “We want to use your name but don’t wish to have any kind of an intimate relationship with you.” Or, “We want the ring, the provision/money, the marriage, but we don’t want the commitment. We don’t want to be faithful to you! We want the crown but not the cross.”

And in the USA today, the woman can “get bored” and divorce her husband and get half of what he has and be grossly over-charged on “child support.” To further make the point, divorce lawyers inform us that when there is a prenup involved, the divorce rate goes down to nearly zero. hmmmm

THOUGH NEVER HEARD IN THE APOSTATE MODERN CHURCH WORLD, THE ORIGINAL GOSPEL INCLUDES….. from the Gospel of Luke

Only those who repent will be with Christ. Everyone else is going to hell irrevocably.

“Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3

The crucified life is a must, a condition for overcoming sin and being in Heaven instead of hell.

“And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:27

You must forsake all to follow Jesus

“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33

You must lose your life to know and walk with Jesus and be in glory.

“Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.” Luke 17:33

Christ’s “enemies” are those who don’t let Him reign over their lives.

“But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.” Luke 19:27

In this late hour we have so very many women who simply do not want to be unmarried and so they will deceptively manipulate their way into a marriage to a man they have no intention of being a virtuous God-fearing wife to. We also have so many who want to believe the notion that they are going to Heaven because they said a prayer way back, yet they want zero to do with truly following Jesus, the Great Bridegroom, daily. They want nothing to do with the cross, the crucified daily life, living a life of prayer, repenting as needed, being holy as He is holy, etc. No desire for commitment, for intimacy, for an intimate relationship.

In like fashion, do we not have millions of church-attending counterfeits today who manifest no proof of knowing Jesus today? This was all prophesied of this last day. Read 2 Timothy 3:1-7. They have an “I go to church” mere “form of godliness” arrangement.

Many want the blessing and benefits of marriage but they don’t want the marriage commitment – and so they live in fornication. And, as was foretold of these final days before Christ’s return, there are so many who have a mere “form of godliness, but (are) denying the power (the authority) thereof” (2 Timothy 3:5). They do not want real commitment to the LORD because they are “lovers of their own selves … lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God” (2 Timothy 3:1-7).

Two verses before this revelation (4:1) the Scripture tells us of the men of Israel being killed off due to the wars:

“Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.” Isaiah 3:25

While this is physically speaking of the loss of the men in Israel, there’s a deeper, a prophetic conveyance to us in this late hour – “They are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come” (1 Corinthians 10:11).

“Seven women shall take hold of one man” – In other words these women described above wanted to be married to a man but they would do their own thing within that marriage arrangement. They didn’t want any responsibility to the man but rather just wanted the reproach of being an old maid removed from their lives. Mere professors are self-serving instead of Savior-serving.

The “seven women” spoken of here are like many today who merely want an arrangement with the Great Bridegroom yet don’t want the real relationship which involves the unreserved giving of oneself to the other party but rather simply want the benefit of the removal of the reproach, the scourge of being without that bridegroom/husband and the possibility of bearing fruit, children. Like the five foolish virgins of Jesus’ parable of the ten virgins, these counterfeits refuse the responsibilities of a real relationship and therefore forfeit the virtue, the substance enjoyed by those who have a real relationship with the Bridegroom. This is a prophetic utterance concerning the church, the division between the wheat and the chaff, the tares in the last days where some were real and others had a mere “form of godliness.” Many today who were initially saved say in their hearts: “Thank You Jesus for saving me but I will live the rest of my life on my own terms, doing as I please. Don’t bother me with the cross, but I will be expecting the crown. I’ll do what I please and that’s why I simply want an arrangement and not a real marriage and the associated involvement.” See Luke 6:46.

The false bride of Christ professes to know Him and yet they don’t want to commit to Him but they want Him to commit to them, to be that false Christ many preach today that keeps them even in their sin of fornication and spiritual idolatry. They want Christ to be faithful to keep them eternally secure yet they are not faithful to love, seek, worship, trust, walk with, abide in, and obey – as He requires!

“Isaiah 4:1 “And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.” These women want to use Jesus to keep them out of hell but don’t want a commitment. And don’t want to be faithful! They want to live as they please and take care of themselves. They only want the stain of sin removed from them. They want to be the bride of Christ with no responsibility. But they fully expect Him to take them with Him to live eternally.” Karen Cochran

OUR LORD is calling His people to daily present to Him their “bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”

“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.” Romans 12:1

Notice how these seven arrangement “brides” say “We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel.” In other words, “We’ll make our own money and buy our own food and clothes”….. “We don’t need you too involved in our lives other than an occasional hook up, when it’s convenient.” ….. Yet unless we seek and ingest the bread of Heaven, the Word of God Himself and His Word, how can we be nourished, how can our vessels, our lamps be full of His divine virtue, the oil of His presence to make it to the bridal chamber of eternal glory in this dark, fallen world? See Jesus’ parable of the ten virgins which has never been more relevant than it is in this final hour before His return (Matthew 25:1-13).

Also, the mere professors, represented by the seven women here, say “We will … wear our own apparel” (Ephesians 5:25-27).

“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” Revelation 19:7-9

The apparel of “fine linen” is only given to those who choose to engage in a genuine relationship with the Bridegroom, Jesus.

Of this “seven women shall take hold of one man” in Isaiah 4:1, David Wilkerson wrote:

“Scripture Always Refers to The Church in the Feminine Gender, in Many Cases As a Bride. The seven would-be brides Isaiah mentions are clearly a type of the characteristics of many in the last-days’ church. These seven would-be brides are seeking to lay hold of one man, whom I take to be Christ. Yet these brides are not interested in loving Him. On the contrary, they have only one thing on their minds – the removal of their reproach! ‘We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach’ (verse 1). I see here seven women approaching a man and saying, ‘You don’t have to provide food for us. We’ll take care of our own bread. And you don’t have to provide any clothes for us. We’ll provide our own robes… Sure, these women want to be the bride of Christ – but only on their own terms. They want an arrangement without intimacy, love or devotion. The number seven is used in regard to these brides to remind us that in every church system there are such people. They attempt to ‘take hold of one man’ – Christ – only to get relief from the guilt and condemnation of their sin. They don’t want intimacy with Him. They want nothing more than forgiveness – to have the reproach of sin removed. I call this the church of forgiveness only.'”

Today those with a mere outward “form of godliness” who are “lovers of their own selves” and “lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God” refuse to “endure (hold themselves accountable to obey) sound doctrine” but rather want “smooth things” (Isaiah 30:9-10; 2 Timothy 4:2-4). This seems to be what is prophetically conveyed here through the prophet Isaiah for these last times. Paul foretold of these “last days” where he says “perilous times shall come” and as we know, are here now.

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 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.”

John Wesley on Isaiah 4:1:

“In that day – In that calamitous time. Seven – Many. A certain number for an uncertain. One man – Because few men shall survive that dreadful stroke. Only – Own us for thy wives. Our reproach – Virginity was esteemed a reproach; children, the usual fruit of marriage, being both an honour to their parents, and a blessing of God, especially to that people, from some of whose loins the Messiah was to spring.”

Ignoring the inconvenient truth concerning readiness for Christ’s return will bring irrevocable damnation! (Read Mark 4:17-19; 1 John 2:15-17.) Hell is right now filled with those who ignored the warning signs. While on earth they refused to stop their life and look upward to their Maker, to make things right with Him. When He drew them they snubbed Him, relishing their darkness rather than His light and love (John 3:19-21).

“When Jesus came to the Earth the first time, His people were completely unprepared and did not recognize their Messiah was with them. But there were wise men who did recognize that He was here. They were not wise because of their intellect. They were wise because they were watching and paying attention to the signs of the times. Jesus then told us His second return would be met with both wise and foolish brides. The difference between the two is the wise are prepared and are waiting and watching. The foolish are paying no attention at all and are caught up living their best life now. Out of ten, Jesus said five are wise and five are foolish. That would mean half of the church today is completely unprepared. So ask yourself a question, ‘Am I being wise or am I being foolish?’ Because there are consequences for our actions.” Frank Telford

Make no mistake, The Great Bridegroom of Heaven is not coming back for a lukewarm, and uninvolved, a casual-love Bride who only want the reproach of their sin removed yet don’t want to give themselves to the Great Bridegroom. He’s not returning for those who treat Him like a second class citizen, a mere hobby, casually getting around to communing with Him. No, the Son of God from Heaven is coming out of the eastern sky for His bride – those wise virgin saints who are in love with Him, who daily attend unto Him, sitting at His feet to learn of Him.

DOOR SHUT IN FACE: Distinguishing between the wise and foolish virgins is quite simple. Those who seek God in His Word are the wise and all others are the foolish – upon whom the door of the Bridegroom shall be shut (Matthew 25:1-13). Anyone whom Christ has previously saved who is not nourishing his spirit in the Word daily, has already backslidden and is not prepared to meet Christ.

The vast majority of those falsely claiming to be saved have no heart for the Word of God and no fruit to demonstrate, to prove they are truly following Jesus – on His stated terms which begins with the crucified life (Luke 9:23-24). They don’t have time for God because in truth, many of these have never repented, truly. Their life is all about themselves and all their stupid trinkets they are adulterously choosing over Christ. Make no mistake: they are as sure for eternal damnation as if they were already there (Mark 4:17-19; James 4:4; 1 John 2:15; Revelation 2:4-5; 3:15-16, etc.).

YOU keep it, guard it, till it, fill it with the Word, etc.

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23

It’s your personal responsibility to keep your heart perfect before the LORD (Psalms 34:18; 51:17; Matthew 5:6, etc.). Praying Psalm 51 is a great place to camp. Oh yes JESUS! Do Your purifying work in us, Your people. I love You dear LORD Jesus!

JESUS says to those saved that they must “endure to the end,” they must “abide” which means to remain, to continue (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; John 15:6). Jesus says that those who do not “abide” with Him will be cast into the fire and He is specifically speaking to those who are in Him (John 15:1-6). Scripture teaches initial and final salvation throughout, including the parable of the ten virgins where all ten were engaged to the bridegroom (Jesus), and yet only five made it into the bridal chamber of eternal glory and the other five were shut out (Matthew 25:1-13). God put conditions on His gift – initial and perpetual. The man who gets engaged to a woman who then begins consorting with other men, would be a fool to still marry her. The Son of God who is the Bridegroom of Heaven would never marry a whore – nor remain married to an adulterous woman (Revelation 19:7-10; Ephesians 5:25-27).

“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” 2 Corinthians 13:5

So God wants a bride that is not engaged in participating with Him in a relationship, doing His kingdom work? Not.

More light flooding into our hearts is needed perpetually… “The entrance of thy word giveth light” (Psalms 119:130). Think and declare: “I am a wise virgin believer who is eagerly anticipating the coming of my Bridegroom from Heaven” (Matthew 25:1-13; Revelation 19:7-10). ALL who got saved in the past and yet are not devouring God’s Word daily, are of the foolish virgins and will be irrevocably shut out of the eternal kingdom of Christ. Get in the Word or perish. You CANNOT sustain a life with Christ without the daily fuel of His Word. Obey Him or you prove you do not love Jesus (John 14:21). Talk is cheap (1 John 3:18).

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 […]

Bride of Heaven vs Harlot from Hell [podcast]

How Do We Know, Right Now, Who will be Seated at the at the Table, at the Great Supper of the Lamb? (Matthew 22; Revelation 19) The remnant, those who will be present at the Great Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, are ALREADY feasting at the banqueting table of His Word. All others whom Jesus has saved in the past, are not fueled or flourishing but are rather famishing, fainting, and falling away. The “little flock” of Christ desires to be with Him both now and forever, not just forever (Luke 12:32). They’ve been born again and present “abide” […]

Will Everyone Jesus has Saved be in Heaven?

Heaven Guaranteed to all who have Received Jesus? When Jesus said “It is finished,” He was speaking of HIS perfect sacrificial payment for the sins of mankind (John 19:30). The fact that Jesus offered the perfect sacrifice, in no way negates HIS instructions to those who would enter His eternal kingdom. The answer is clearly given to us in Scripture as to what God’s initial and ongoing conditions are for men to appropriate Christ’s salvation. The answer is 1.) repentance and genuine faith and 2.) faith to the end of that recipient’s life on this earth (Matt. 10:22; 24:13; Acts 14:22; 20:21; […]

Apostasy

“Warn them from Me”: The 3 Things Paul did to Protect God’s People [podcast]

The 3 Things Paul did to Protect God’s People [podcast]

Jesus and His holy apostles often rebuked and exposed false leaders and false doctrine (Matthew 23; Acts 13:10; 20:29-31; Galatians 5:11-12; 2 Timothy 4:2-4; 2 Peter 2; 2 John 7-11; Revelation 2:6, 15, etc.). Therefore we know that part of following Jesus includes doing the same. In fact, the body of Christ is mandated to do just that (Romans 16:17-18; Philippians 1:17; Jude 3-4).

PWT = Preach, WARN, Teach

“Whom we PREACH, WARNING every man, and TEACHING every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:” Colossians 1:28

Did you catch what the apostle Paul did to prepare the church to meet Christ?

Preach
WARN
Teach

Any man not guarding, not protecting Christ’s flock, by warning of false teachers and false doctrine, is himself a wolf!

Simply put, it doesn’t matter what you think: The LORD has commanded that Satan’s ministers, his human emissaries, be exposed. Time to shut up and obey! (2 Corinthians 11:12-15)

Lest someone think that warning is a cover for slander, let’s address that.

There is a difference between warning and slander. Warning is to be distinguished from slander. William Penn said it correctly when he recorded these words of wisdom:

“Believe nothing against another but on good authority; and never report what may hurt another, unless it be a greater hurt to some other to conceal it.” ~William Penn

The love of God in us will compel us to warn. Firstly this is done in obedience to the LORD and for the protection and care of those being warned. Warning is divinely mandated in order to protect His beloved sheep.

2 Corinthians 5:9-11, 14-21

“Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. … 14 For the love of Christ constraineth (compels) us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 16 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. 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”

“The Apostle had arrived at the deliberate conclusion and judgment that the ‘all’ who realized what Christ had done for them (and he among them) must live with as much devotion toward Him as others toward themselves. A new world had been opened by Christ’s resurrection. All things had become new. Let us live in daily touch with that world of faith and glory, refusing to be judged by the old standards. It is clear that the reconciliation of the world is as complete as God can make it, but it is for us to urge men to fall in with and accept God’s proposals.” FB Meyer

“Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we the more earnestly persuade men to seek his favour; and as God knoweth this, so, I trust, ye know it in your own consciences.” John Wesley

It’s a blessing to be humbled, to be brought low. Sometimes we need to be embarrassed (Proverbs 6:23). There’s a place for it. Paul openly rebuked Peter publicly (Galatians 2). That wound worked to the glory of God and the eternal good of Peter.

“For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:” Romans 6:23

Keep in mind that each one of us are at times in need of being admonished, corrected, or even rebuked…. it’s “the way of life” as long as we are in this world and it’s out of the love of our God and for our own eternal good.

“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” Revelation 3:19

Did God command us to warn the wicked?

Ezekiel 3:7 “Warn them from me.”

“So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and WARN THEM FROM ME.” Ezekiel 33:7

What would you think of the father who lived on a busy street and refused to warn his children to stay away from that street?

“Whom we PREACH, WARNing every man, and TEACHing every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:” Colossians 1:28

Were Jesus, His prophets, and apostles trying to harm the body of Christ when they often warned of and exposed wolves and their false teachings by name? No, he sought to get the cancer out of the body of Christ so it couldn’t spread (Romans 16:17-18, etc.). Beware of the wolf defenders who refuse to believe the wolves they follow are antichrist enemies of the LORD (2 John 10-11).

“Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” Isaiah 58:1

Most warnings in God’s Word are to the backslidden – those who after being Christ’s, have departed from the faith – and also the counterfeits who have a mere form of godliness.

Jesus says, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15).

Isaiah 59

“Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. 3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.”

“Thy prophets (leaders) have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered (uncovered) thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity (bondage); but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.” Lamentation 2:14

God instructed us to “mark” false leaders. Jesus is the Great Shepherd of the sheep and intends for them to be protected from being lured away (Hebrews 13:20; Romans 16:17-18).

“Christians do not judge the world. Christians must judge those who SAY they live for Christ. Wolves will not spare the flock where pretenders go unchallenged/unjudged.” Robert Lorne

Paul had the heart of the Savior as we should. He cried “with tears” for three years day and night over the protection of Jesus’ sheep and said He gave them all the counsel of God, not just some of it, to protect them (Acts 20:20-32).

Ignoring and deciding we are going to selectively pick out what we want to preach and reject the rest that WE don’t like is anything but the cross. This reveals the heart of a self-serving tare. A person truly in the cross says LORD, “NOT my will but thine be done,” and not “I’ll decide for myself what I’m going to preach” (Luke 22:42).

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove (expose) them.” Ephesians 5:11

After promising that we are His and we shall be persecuted as He was, then our LORD informs us that He is going to expose darkness and that we are to be a part of this process as we stand and speak His His light of truth into the darkness of our day. And to fear not anyone except Him (v 26-28).

“Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. 27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:26-28

Jesus instructed us to know that He will bring all darkness, every dark deed and evil doer into the light (v26), and told us to shout it, to expose it to all from the housetops (v27), and to do so fearlessly as concerns mere sinful men – the guilty ones who will persecute you for exposing them (v28).

How are we to warn them? what is to be our disposition in warning others as the LORD commanded? One thing we should keep in mind is that God wants us dealing biblically – with the desire to restore – and without personal wrath (Galatians 6:1-2).

“For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” James 1:20

It’s a scary thing to NOT warn the wicked….

“When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to WARN the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.” Ezekiel 3:18

“And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.” Jude 22-23

Read these 2 verses closely. Notice how if you die in sin – no matter what your past relationship with God was – you are going to hell irrevocably. Enduring to the end of your life on earth with Christ, in an abiding relationship, is essential to eternal glory. Summation: The LORD judges people on their spiritual state at the moment of death. Share. Repent now heretic.

The Warnings of the Book of Jude [podcast]

“Reformed Theology“, is just a fancy way of saying ‘We know better than Paul, the old testament prophets, even David! And the very apostles who walked with Jesus must be unlearned men or liars.’ Nay, I will not say such a thing of my LORD and Saviour, Christ Jesus. Let God be true, and >every< man a liar.” Jonathan Crane It’s “ungodly men” who mislead the gullible with the eternal security heresy, and the heretical doctrines and system of calvinism. Jude warned us of just that, as did the prophets (Jude 3-4; Jeremiah 23:17, etc.). Then Jude reminds us of God’s […]

Overcoming that Old Serpent, Called the Devil, and Satan [podcast]

“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:9

“That old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world” never left the garden of God’s creation and he won’t till Jesus slam dunks him into the bottomless pit (Genesis 3; Revelation 12; 20). He must be overcome “by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” (Revelation 12:11). God is able. Satan

“He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.” Ecclesiastes 10:8

“From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:1-7

In the scope of past, present, and future history – HIS-story – nothing is over till Jesus wins!

“For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. … 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:25-26, 57

The Cross

Personally I was not blessed to begin seeing our LORD’s victory in my personal life until Jesus’ cross message began to seep into my heart, thoughts and mind.

The record of Holy Scripture assures us that our LORD Jesus conquered sin, death, hell, and Satan (1 John 3:8). But how? He overcome by the cross.

Jesus conquered sin and death by dying.

If this is the first time you are hearing this truth, don’t be ashamed. It’s new to all of us due to the original Gospel message of the cross has been lost among most who claim Christ. | The Cross

Camping out on the message of the cross will assure you are quickened to “seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.” (1 Chronicles 16:11) Keeping thine eyes and heart upon His cross message will hasten you to Him, to His cross, to the death of self that Christ might raise you upward in His holy power and glory.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn (grain, seed) of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.” John 12:24-26

The cross truly is a “Let go and let God” economy, experience – crying, declaring “Jesus You MUST increase but I MUST decrease!”

As the apostle Paul discovered, you are NOT sufficient and yet His grace is sufficient for your life in Him.

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

PRAYER: Father, please grant me eye salve to see Your holy truth and the many wolves that now are disguised in sheep’s clothing and leading many to hell. Help me, Jesus! Knowing my utter poverty of spirit, I this moment turn afresh to You fully, asking You to have mercy on me and wash away all my sins. Grant the eyes of my heart discernment as only You can, as I walk closely with You. I choose this day to deny my own self-will and desires and ask You to consume me with Your wisdom, power, and grace. LORD Jesus, please bless me to know You intimately. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Victory Over the Iniquities that Currently Drive You [podcast]

“Too many Christians blame their flesh on Satan and try casting it out. Never works. That’s why they don’t grow! Must crucify the flesh!” Karen Cochran Recently, a brother in Christ was pushing the fact that Genesis 6:5, 12 use the phrase “only evil continually” pertaining to mankind, all men. REPLY: Ask for yourself the important question: WHY did Jesus come to the earth? And from this moment forward, allow the Bible to answer that question …. Look for the Bible answer…… Why Jesus came to die for us and make us new creatures in Christ whereby OLD THINGS ARE […]

The King is Coming [podcast]

Those who truly love their neighbor clearly prove they serve He who “is love.” “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.” 1 John 5:1 “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” 1 John 4:7-8 “But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief […]
