The LORD is Exceedingly Holy and Infinitely Surpasses Finite Mankind

God is perfecting that which concerns His below people!!! (Psalms 138:8; Philippians 2:12-13, etc.)

YOU are a new creature in Christ! You are no longer who you once were!

“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;” 2 Corinthians 5:17-18

When we take this following Bible truth seriously, perhaps today, and sever our past identity before and after salvation, reaching forth into Christ and our life with Him, deliverance will arise in our hearts.

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14

God is going to be working in the hearts and lives of His people till we are home with Him forever (John 15; Philippians 2:12-13; Psalms 138:8).

I love to pray these Bible verses regularly!

His disciples asked Jesus to increase their faith!

“And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.” Luke 17:5

Love it. Jesus did not rebuke them. Did you notice that detail?

Neither did Jesus rebuke John the Baptist for wavering, for lapsing for a moment in his faith (Luke 7:18-23). Our LORD spoke graciously to John the Baptist in his time of weakness.

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

God is perfect in all His ways. We aren’t and He understands that. He always requires that we seek Him diligently and with faith.

“Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.” 1 Timothy 6:15-16

Sinless perfectionism or expecting someone, anyone to reach the pefection of the law all by themself, which only Christ could do, is heresy.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.” Galatians 2:20-21

Preaching holiness without the cross leaves us to make ourselves holy.

“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Romans 8:2-4

It’s through the power of the Holy Ghost that the abiding saint is divinely enabled to overcome, to live in Christ’s victory.

“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.” Romans 8:13

Jesus’ solution for sin, His prescription for holiness, is the cross – the crucified life (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20-21; Colossians 3:3, etc.).

Isn’t it just better to admit when we are wrong, to openly admit we are not sinless perfection but rather utterly, perpetually in need of God’s grace?

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13

We are definitely to confess and forsake all sin and prayerfully via the daily crucified life to “perfect(ing) holiness” and yet it’s by God’s grace and His Holy Spirit raising us upward in His power that we are enabled to please God (Proverbs 28:13; 2 Corinthians 7:1, etc.). Preaching holiness without the cross – the crucified life – is a complete imbalance that will always lead to hell and foster self-righteousness. Romans 8:13 and Galatians 2:20.

Job 9:20 and Proverbs 20:9 crush sinless perfectionism.

“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” 2 Corinthians 7:1

The true disciple cannot justify sin (Romans 6:1-2, 15, etc.). Yes Jesus says “be ye therefore perfect” and yet in that context, was He speaking of absolute moral perfection, or maturity? (See Matthew 5:44-48.) Yes, moral perfection is the goal, and holiness is essential (2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14, etc.), and yet the context of which Jesus speaks at the end of Matthew 5 is dealing with possessing a mature perspective, one that loves all men for whom He came and bled.

“Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.” Hebrews 13:9

Perhaps the sooner we acknowledge that He alone is perfection and we are totally in need of His present, Christ-conforming grace, we shall be free to be molded by Him who is our Potter (Jeremiah 18:1-6; Romans 8:29). It’s important to get this out in the open, and perhaps God will be able to do a more natural work in us due to our open admission and surrender.

“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.” Romans 7:18

I am not a good person, neither are you – “There is none righteous, no, not one“ (Romans 3:10). Admit it. The sooner we become HONEST with that which is more than obvious, announcing freely and transparently – that there is “NOOOO good thing” in us except CHRIST, the sooner God will begin a new, deeper work in us! See Romans 7:18, 24. The Cross!

Paul is speaking of the fact that no good except Christ dwells in him and that there is a constant war to be won by the power of the Holy Spirit and includes our participation in the daily cross – where we resign our will and lives over to Christ (Romans 8:12-14, etc.).

“O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” Romans 7:24

Paul says he was presently a “wretched man” – “O wretched man that I AM (not was; but presently).” And what does that mean? That simply establishes the reason Jesus says we must deny self, be crucified with Him, and take up the cross to truly walk with Him (Luke 9:23-24; Galatians 2:20). There is still the sinful nature in each of us whom He has saved and it must be crucified daily so Christ can reign (Romans 6-7). Paul announced that he had to “KEEP under” (an ongoing task, a personal responsibility) or he would be cast away from or out of God’s presence in the end (1 Corinthians 9:27).

See also Psalms 39:4-5, Proverbs 20:9, Job 9:20, and 1 John 1:6-10.

God is able to establish our hearts in His grace and to multiply His grace to us (Hebrews 13:9; 2 Peter 3:18).

It seems biblical to announce that our LORD alone is perfect and is perfecting that which concerns our life. “The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands” (Psalms 138:8). Praise the LORD that He is working in us “both to will and to do of His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). No, this is not the notion of our reveling in sin without any responsibility for how we live, but rather the acknowledgement of His finding, saving, and sanctifying our lives as we participate in an honest, abiding, obedient, faith-filled relationship with Him.

“But I simply can’t overcome” is something we hear. Yet, through Christ alone, we’ve been given “Grace (divine enablement) to help in time of need” …

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16

“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57

We have His overwhelming, absolute victory as we abide in Christ. No sin can or will dominate those who live that divinely-prescribed, crucified life so often read about in the pages of the New Testament Scriptures. Read Romans 6 prayerfully – every day this week.

“For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.” Romans 6:14

Tragically, grace is often presented and peddled as a license to live free from all personal responsibility, independent of God. Is that what Scripture teaches about God’s grace? Study closely Jude 3-4 and Titus 2:11-14.

The LORD desires to “multiply” his grace to your life today. Ask Him. Father, we come in Jesus’ Name and ask You to multiply Your grace to Your people today. | Grace

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,” 2 Peter 1:2

“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18

Satan seeks to “spy out”, “frustrate”, and rob God’s people of the liberty wherewith they have been made free by Christ (Galatians 2:4-5; 5:1). It is His stated will that each of His children grow in His grace. And part of God growing us in His grace is offering other saints the space to grow in that same saving divine grace. The blessing of showing others that same grace as they grow in His grace. And we pray for them to grow in His grace, in Jesus’ name. Lording it over, brow beating other saints, looking down on them arrogantly, frustrates the grace of God among His people (Galatians 2:21; 5:1). Adding anything to the simple Gospel of Jesus is exactly what the Galatians did and consequently fell from saving grace – so not only did they not grow in grace, they fell from it (Galatians 3:1-3; 5:4). Selah.

Young’s Literal Translation YLT Exposed

by Will Kinney

Anyone who tries to pawn off Young’s “literal” translation as being the infallible words of God simply does not know what he is talking about. It is not even a good translation. It is little more than a passing footnote in the ever changing panorama of perverted bible versions that have come and gone over the years.

There is only one Bible that has stood the test of time and its critics. There is only one Bible that is believed and defended by thousands of Bible believers today as being the true “book of the LORD”- the Authorized King James Holy Bible – celebrating over 400 years of being THE Bible of the English speaking people.

Let’s compare a bit:

One that made me laugh out loud when I first saw it was 1 Kings 18:21.

Here we read in the KJB: “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.”

But Youngs “literal” has: “and Elijah cometh nigh unto all the people, and saith, `TILL WHEN ARE YE LEAPING ON THE TWO BRANCHES? — if Jehovah [is] God, go after Him; and if Baal, go after him;’ and the people have not answered him a word.”

—————

Here is the YLT telling us Jesus had to be saved which would mean He was a sinner:

Zechariah 9:9 KJB – “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, AND HAVING SALVATION; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.”

Youngs – “Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo, thy King doth come to thee, Righteous — AND SAVED IS HE, Afflicted — and riding on an ass, And on a colt — a son of she-asses.”

—————

Acts 11:26 KJB – “And the disciples WERE CALLED Christians first in Antioch.”

Young’s 1898 – “the disciples also WERE DIVINELY CALLED first in Antioch Christians.”

The KJB and almost every other Bible reads: “And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples WERE CALLED Christians first in Antioch.

—————

Youngs’ “literal” has many examples of mind-boggling, ridiculous readings as well.

In Psalms 141:7 we read: “Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when ONE CUTTETH AND CLEAVETH WOOD upon the earth.

But in Youngs we see: Psalm 141:7 “As ONE TILLING AND RIPPING UP THE LAND, Have our bones been scattered AT THE COMMAND OF SAUL.” (Say What?)

—————

1 Samuel 25:22 “So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that PISSETH AGAINST THE WALL.” (Green – “urinates against the wall.”)

But Young has: “thus doth God do to the enemies of David, and thus He doth add, if I leave of all that he hath till the light of the morning — of THOSE SITTING ON THE WALL.”

Apostasy

Jacked Up Jezebel Rebuked [podcast]

“Jezebel is a widely rampant spirit of rebellion that is hard to get rid of, rooted in pride, self-will, and self-sufficiency. Only the LORD can deliver but only if the individual truly repents and submits to Him, to His Word.” Anita Villarreal

Any person defending this jezebel heresy that women can be pastors, elders over men, is under the control of Satan, period. And in need of true repentance (James 4:7).

—-There are NO female apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, or teachers under the New Testament (Ephesians 4:8, 11-12). Jesus gave these “gifts unto MEN.” (Ephesians 4:8) There is not even one woman mentioned in 27 books as an elder over Christ’s flock. Such is clearly forbidden (1 Timothy 2:11-12). In Acts 21:9 we read of Phillip’s daughters which “did prophesy” which is a gift of the Spirit (one of the nine-1 Corinthians 12:7-10). The office gifts are eldership functions for men called to be overseers over Christ’s flock, which is completely different than the gifts of the Spirit which every believer can function in and certainly women are seen doing such as Phillip’s daughters and how women are mentioned concerning operating in the gifts of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 14.

Classic case of a jezebel lashing out when the Word of GOD corrects her (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Her rebellion is against God. Jezebel is utterly rebellious. She hates what God’s Word says and so the demons that control jezebels will lash out in personal attacks against the men who stand on the truth unwaveringly (such as did Elijah whom Jezebel sought to kill).

“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 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 2:11-14

“As I look around America I ask myself who can find a virtuous woman? Whose whole life is surrendered to God. And centered in the fear of the Lord. No woman will submit to their husbands unless they first submit to God. Ephesians 5:22 says women are to submit to their husbands, “as unto the Lord.” That must come first. And what is a great price in the sight of God? A woman who has a meek and quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:4). This is true beauty to God. But Jezebels are the complete opposite. Full of rebellion, pride and hatred! God says throw her down!” Karen Cochran

From the divine perspective, this is not about oppression but rather about protect. See Revelation 2:20-24 to see what Jesus warns when a woman is allowed to lead as an elder in the body of Christ. He uses the words “The depths of Satan” and speaks of the death and destruction that will result when the men allow a woman to lead in a manner that is outside of the stated role God ordained for the woman.

Yes the LORD said He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, sons and daughter, but not to anoint a woman to do something HE forbids. Women are to teach women yes but not the general body of believers (Titus 2:1-5). There are NO female elders in the New Testament. God forbids it. Eldership is reserved for men – to humbly teach, lead and protect and cherish women and children.

“There’s a crazy role reversal across the land and men should always lead. Even our women’s prayer group was led by the pastor because that’s what he believed. Women are more emotional and men more logical. Both have their designated roles . God meant them to compliment each other rather than to compete.” John Umlauf

When people don’t like what God’s Word states, they will attack the mere messenger as if that changes the truth. Not. And, they heap judgment on themselves by doing so (Matthew 7:1-5; James 2:13). Persecution

“For we are not as many, which corrupt (twist, adulterate) the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:17

“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47

“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13

Jesus Addresses the Ahabs and Self-Appointed Jezebel at the Church at Thyatira

Revelation 2:20-24

Revelation 2:20-24 is about a certain self-appointed woman who was allowed by the spineless men in Thyatira to operate out of the biblically-stated order for women in the church setting.

Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Rev 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
