“In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 23 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 1:22-23

Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith” …

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.” Colossians 2:6-7

Fearing man means we don’t truly fear God.

“The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” Psalms 118:6

It’s the fruit of self-preservation because our lives are not laid down flat. We are not truly crucified with Christ if we still fear mere man. If you are on the LORD’s side, plant your feet firmly in the Holy Scriptures (His divine truth given you in His written Word) and let the chips fall where they may. Cease from the fear of mere men. Read this: Isaiah 2:22; Luke 12:4-5; Ecclesiastes 12:13; Psalms 2:11.

“And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.” 1 Kings 18:21

When conciliation is something we do because we want to “keep the peace” with any mere man, and yet compromise divinely stated truth, it becomes sin. This reveals our lack of the fear of the LORD. When our lives are truly laid down, we fear God, and we will fear no mere man.

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

Is Divine Truth Important?

The only true unity of the true remnant saints of Christ is on the basis of Christ’s truth which is given us in His written Word (John 8:47; 10:35). If you compromise, it will come back to haunt you.

Listen to Christ’s apostle John and notice how many times he uses the word “truth” here to God’s people in the first 4 verses of 2 John. Also note how he intertwines and connects the truth with love:

“1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; 
2  For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. 
3  Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 
4  I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.”

WHY do true disciples of Jesus rejoice? – “I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.” (2 John 1:4)

The truth sanctifies those who receive and obey it:

“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17

Fearing God

“Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law (Word); fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.” Isaiah 51:7

It’s time to mature and to stand resolute and grounded in the faith of Christ, full of His Spirit and truth.

“That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” Ephesians 4:14-15

What we speak should be simply God’s Word (2 Timothy 4:2; 1 Peter 4:11) and never be tainted by what WE think is going to be mere man’s reaction to that divine truth. We are to fear God and not mere men. We ourselves are our own idols if we are not possessed by the holy fear of the LORD.

A thorough study of the fear of the LORD is life-changing. Searching out, selecting, and writing those verses on index cards can be eternally altering!
The LORD is able! Are we willing and obedient to Him (Isaiah 1:18-20)?

If our unity with someone is in jeopardy due to speaking His truth in love, then perhaps that person doesn’t belong in our lives. We are going in different directions. That’s unequal yoking.

Who did Paul fear?

“For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10

Does who we fear prove/reveal if we are right with God? Or, not right with Him? Read the above verse again please.

Why do you attempt to protect someone from hearing the truth of their Maker and Judge of their eternal souls? Do you not understand that conviction is a gift from God – out of His mercy? If someone is offended by His truth, that means they needed to be and God is at work in them to convict and save them before it’s too late. Do you have a problem with that? Whose side are you really on?

If a person doesn’t love the truth and won’t hear it, they are not of God – regardless of what relationship they may have had with the LORD in the past. They are fallen away. The fruit of their lives indicates that they are not abiding (remaining) in Christ (John 15:1-16).

If someone gets upset because you spoke the LORD’s truth, so be it. You are called to be identified with Christ and not mere men.

“Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” Galatians 4:16

Get this in your heart:

“For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? 4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.” Romans 3:3-4

Friend, if you are going to truly follow Christ, as He promises, you will be persecuted in many ways in this brief life (Matthew 5:10-12; 10:22, etc.).

You are no longer your own but now bought with the price of His blood (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). You are Christ’s “ambassador” and “minister of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:20).

A reading of the New Testament Scriptures plainly reveals that Jesus and His apostles were greatly hated and persecuted and so shall we be if we truly follow Christ:

“31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. 
32  Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 
33  But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. 
34  Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 
35  For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 
36  And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. 
37  He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 
38  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 
39  He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. 
40  He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.” Matthew 10:31-40

—- IF you haven’t heard this and Scripture like this preached, read, or taught in your local church in a while, it’s because you have submitted yourself to and are endorsing a wolf. You are now helping the enemies of the LORD and under His holy wrath (2 Chronicles 19:2). You have bid God speed (Blessed and endorsed) the very enemy of the LORD (2 John 1:9-11).

Ministry Today at the Local Market in Mexico [podcast]


From brother Juan:

“Glory to God, brother! We know that the Word of God is not imprisoned. Jeremiah was in the prison courtyard, and God said, ‘Call to me, and I will answer you and tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.’ And we know that the word of God never returns empty; it always fulfills its purpose, brother. So we fully trust that God will do the work to expand His kingdom for His honor and glory. To Him be all the honor, brother. Blessings.” Juan






“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10

Jesus Calling Devotional Exposed: 10 Things You Might Not Know

“I know so many who are so deceived by this book!! The author is a woman and she makes Jesus sound like your boyfriend who is so in love with you he can’t bare a minute without you! It is sickening! Plus she says the Bible was not enough for her. She needed more. This author died and if she did repent of her blasphemy against a holy God she is burning in hell as we speak. There are not two Jesus’s! This book presents a weak, tolerant of all your sin, pathetic, spineless ‘Jesus.’ This false ‘Jesus’ just sits in heaven google-eyed over you and how much He can’t live one minute without you in His presence! This is opposite of the fierce Christ who calls out sin and hypocrisy, who took a whip to the money changers and flipped over tables in righteous anger! Mathew 23 shows us some of the most severe rebukes in all the New Testament. This is the Jesus true disciples chose to follow! May this new documentary open the eyes of many so-called Christians to how demonic and evil this book is.” Karen Cochran

 

BEWARE of the Jesus Calling devotional book which is written by a full blown heretic, Sarah Young. This book continually assures things to lost souls (catholics, etc.) reserved only for the true Christian. It promises salvation, assurance, grace, mercy, the glory of God, etc to lost hell bound idolatrous sinners. Like antichrist Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Life book, Jesus Calling never calls sinners to repent which is a Gospel essential and without which God will never save any soul from sin and hell (Luke 13:3, 5). You will never hear Jesus’ born again commanded or command to repent in this heretical devotional book title Jesus Calling. This monstrosity simply confirms sinners in their sin, sealing their doom in the lake of fire (Jeremiah 23:17; Lamentations 2:14, etc.).

Sarah Young is just another self-willed false prophet who does “ministry” her way, not God’s, in order to sell books and to mislead eternal souls into eternal damnation.

The blessings of God in Christ’s salvation are reserved only for those born again “in Christ,” and never for hell bound religious idolaters (John 15:7; 2 Corinthians 1:20; 2 Peter 1:1-4, etc.). 


Stacy Strother writes:

Her subtly, deceptive, doctrinally corrupt fairy tale version of what she calls bible studies for all the different ages of people, including children’s bible studies, teen and other, are found in the book stores—shelves filled full.

She is deceived, a false witness, False bible teacher, and has not heard from our Jesus—the Christ, Son of the living God, of which, is the very Word of God.

She hears from demons. Period! She needs to REPENT, and be born again! Please Lord Jesus, help her see her own demise!”

About That Jesus Calling – 10 Things You Might Not Know

ARE you seeking to experience God OR to KNOW HIM? (John 17:3)

“People want a word from God instead of the Word OF God.” Warren Smith

6. Did you know that the “Jesus” of Jesus Calling frequently flatters his followers, which contrasts the way Jesus Christ spoke to people?

7. Did you know that Sarah Young’s “Jesus” revises the night that Jesus Christ was born and calls it a “dark night” in a “filthy stable” in “appalling conditions” even though the Bible says the shepherds rejoiced in all that they had seen that night? 2

8. Did you know that the “Jesus” of Jesus Calling revises the accounts of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph of the Bible?

FEEDBACK:

“Solid Biblical refutation of the “New Age ” nonsense passing itself off as the latest thing God is doing. In our area a number of Churches have embraced this and other similar material with no discernment to the un-biblical nature of this drivel. Thank God for Warren B. Smith and others who provide an inestimable service to the Body of Christ as “watchmen on the wall.” Pastor Tom, West Harrison NY”

Why We Have Civil Authorities [podcast]


What should be our view of and responsibility to God-ordained civil authorities?

In light of these truths, it seems wise to remove oneself and family from the country, state, or local jurisdiction that is not punishing evildoers as God has ordained.

CRUSHING AND SEPARATING EVIL DOERS FROM THE GOOD PEOPLE IS GOD’S ORDAINED DUTY AND WILL FOR CIVIL AUTHORITIES TO CARRY OUT.

“A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.” Proverbs 20:26

A king or civil servant, ruler will destroy the wicked, he will truck them, he will crush them! Read the above verse again.

“The phrase ‘bringeth the wheel over them’ comes from Proverbs 20:26. It refers to the act of a wise king punishing or dealing with the wicked, particularly through the process of threshing (separating the good from the bad). The ‘wheel’ imagery suggests a thorough and often harsh application of this punishment.”

“Proverbs 20:26: Bringeth the wheel over them – He threshes them in his anger, as the wheel does the grain on the threshing-floor. Every one knows that grain was separated from its husks, in Palestine, by the feet of the oxen trampling among the sheaves, or bringing a rough-shod wheel over them. Asiatic kings often threshed their people, to bring out their property; but this is not what is intended here.” Adam Clarke

God ordained civil authorities to punish EVIL DOERS and not the good people! Any civil authority, whether an individual or the whole governmental system that punishes the good people, that weaponizes the system to destroy lawful, law abiding citizens, should be replaced. The framers of our Constitution actually set that in place.

God bless our Constitutionally abiding law enforcement which God ordains in order to punish evil doers. “Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him FOR THE PUNISHMENT OF EVILDOERS, and for the praise of them that do well.” (1 Peter 2:13-14)

“He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.” Proverbs 17:15

Read Romans 13 and notice…. Civil Rulers, including the Police, are ordained of God to punish those who do evil. They are His “ministers.” A few bad cops doesn’t change this fact. Oh, and notice how criminals all go to hell—“damnation.”

Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2:12-14 …. whenever government isn’t punishing evil doers, and instead, turns and punishes well doers, that government is the antitheses, the opposite of what God ordained civil government for and should be abolished.

Submission to the Authorities

1  Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.  2  Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.  3  For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:  4  For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.  5  Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.  6  For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.  7  Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.  Fulfilling the Law Through Love 8  Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.  9  For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  10  Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.  11  And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.  12  The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.  13  Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.  14  But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.” Romans 13

Truth: This priesthood of fake pastors bowed to Satan long ago. They are antichrists who bought into and even defend Satan’s fake “bibles” and teach heresies such as eternal security, etc.

Submission to civil authority has its limits and is contingent upon those authorities who are punishing evil doers and not having become the evil doers who then turn and punish the righteous.

Submission to Authority

“Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14  Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.” 1 Peter 2:13-14

Jesus died. He shed His precious blood to redeem His people “out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;”

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;” Revelation 5:9

“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” Micah 6:8
