The global invasion of a priesthood of beguilers have put a modern face on historical heresies. Men and women posing as pastors, prophets, evangelists, and apostles make millions preying on the biblically-illiterate, sick, poor, and emotionally fragile. Behind a veil of glamour, many self-proclaimed pastors mask their spiritual abuse with claims of special position and power from the Holy Spirit. The Original Gospel pulls back the curtain to reveal the truth behind this lucrative industry.

“For we are not as many, which corrupt (pervert, twist, misuse) 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 

WHEN you get into God’s Word for yourself, honestly, your eyes are going to be opened to the great prophetic apostasy transpiring (2 Thessalonians 2, etc.). Most pastors today are nothing more than greedy scammers who are building their own kingdom using the name of Jesus and you (Philippians 3:18-21). Nothing has changed (Ecclesiastes 1:9; Isaiah 9:16; 56:10-12; Jeremiah 23; Ezekiel 34; Matthew 24:11; 2 Timothy 3:1-13; 2 John 7-11, etc.).

Most in “ministry” today are using God’s Word for their own self-serving agenda, building their own empire, not Christ’s kingdom! Beware (Matthew 16:18; 1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5; 2 Corinthians 4:5; Philippians 3:18-19).

The person not crucified with Christ will communicate using only things that will bring accolades to himself. They do not want the heat, the persecutions that come with preaching the original Gospel Jesus and His apostles preached. These are the self-serving cross-less wolves Paul warned us about specifically (Philippians 3:18-19). Jesus warns: “Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets” (Luke 6:26).

THE self-serving lightweights, seminarian scammers, many call “pastor” don’t get YOU INTO THE WORD for yourself because they simply want you to continue to patronize their church busine$$! Get a clue! This is completely contrary to Christ’s apostle Paul (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17; 4:2-4). ANY so-called “preacher” who won’t offend you is a self-serving wolf! RUN NOW!

HAVE you noticed how these new lightweight “churches” brag about their “Top 10 Core Values”? What a joke! In other words they pick out 10 socially acceptable things most people will like and that’s their top 10. And they do this instead of simply announcing that they endeavor to adhere to the whole of the Bible. KJB. Lame.

In order to sell books, some modern authors seek to make our life with Christ appear flowery and romantic. This is why they intentionally, carefully selectively sprinkle a few Bible verses as to not spoil the plot and plan of their own book, written with their personal goal and agenda of selling many of them. Yet God’s Word doesn’t romanticize our walk with Him. No, to the contrary, it warns of severe sufferings for walking with Christ. Loving God is spoken of in terms of worshiping and obeying the LORD and not experiencing some romantic thrill. Anyone who has been saved for a few years knows Jesus’ words to be true – “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). True disciples of Jesus, as opposed to wolves in sheep’s clothing in our midst, give full disclosure to prepare, protect and set expectations. But “tribulation” doesn’t sell books now does it. In their unrealistic, fairy tale writings, these authors conveniently fail to mention the “much tribulation,” “divers temptations” and “perils” we face as a result of serving the LORD in this fallen world (Acts 14:22; 2 Corinthians 11:26; James 1:2).

“In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;” (2 Corinthians 11:26) ……Jesus promises those who walk with Him will be “hated of all men for my name’s sake” (Matthew 10:22). Does this sound glamorous to you? The smooth handed beguilers paint a picture completely inconsistent with what we read in God’s Word. While Jesus and His holy apostles came straight forward with warnings, in order to prepare the hearts of His people, modern wolves hide these severe threats and warnings.

Today, annually there are more than 60 million books sold in the Christian genre.

Modern “Christian” authors have and are capturing an enormous audience. Using a unique, captivating writing style in and of itself is not a sin. Yet, painting a picture foreign to the setting of God’s Word is sin.

Couching the truth in a setting that varies from what Holy Scripture presents is dangerous at best and can mislead the reader. Beware of many modern “Christian” writers who do just this.

DOES the gathering you call “church” align with the order seen in the early church records in the New Testament Scriptures? How do you know either way if you aren’t diligently searching the Holy Scriptures daily? Acts 2:42-47 is a good place to begin.

When you read Acts 2:42-47, stop and think of the simplicity of worship and how it all centered on Christ and resulted in the edification of His body. So much in our modern “churches” has been added, commercializing the gospel for the self-serving purposes of those doing such. It has been said that “Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication” and such applies to the order of God when His saints gather to worship HIM! Would Jesus not again cleanse the temple if He were here in the flesh today?

Rule of thumb for every disciple of Christ: Read God’s Word, the King James Bible, at least 3 times as much as the reading of any other book. This includes the time we spend listening to preachers. Bible study is primary. The importance of knowing God’s  Word for ourselves cannot be overstated (2 Timothy 2:15). There’s simply no way to discern truth from error unless we are deeply grounded in the truth, God’s Word, for ourselves. Our time in the study of God’s Word is the most important thing we do upon this earth.

The man who presents a partial gospel is a poison peddler (Acts 20:20, 27, etc.).

SAINTS, we must not be like most “pastors” who pick and choose what they want to teach from God’s Word for personal advantage, personal gain. NO! Rather, we must endeavor like Paul to disclose the whole counsel of Holy Scripture (Acts 20:20, 27).

It is intentionally misleading people to neglect to warn them and prepare them for difficult times to come. As is on record in Colossians 1:28, Christ’s apostle Paul did the following three things to prepare Christ’s body for the return of Heaven’s King:

  1. Preach
  2. WARN
  3. Teach

To inaccurately portray is to betray.

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?

Evil wolves are known in that they do not warn their prey (their audience) of the reality of the rigorous sufferings every disciple of Jesus must “endure” (Matthew 10:22; 24:13). Christ and His apostles gave full disclosure of the sufferings, afflictions, persecutions every true follower of Jesus must endure. They hid nothing and to do so is deceit.

“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. … And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 10:22; 24:10-13

Does this sound glamorous to you?

Are you learning the real, original Gospel of Christ through daily, diligent study of the Scriptures for yourself, OR, are you being sold a glamorized, commercialized, sensationalized false gospel?

Saints of Christ, “Holy Scripture” is given to God’s people to make us “wise” and fully “furnish” us in this life (2 Timothy 3:15-17). As you read through Holy Scripture, watch for the divine warnings. The Bible verses posted here in this section are but a taste of the full unveiling of the realities of the Christian life. Ask: WHAT did Jesus warn us of and WHY would the Great Shepherd of His sheep have done so?

“Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.” Acts 14:22

“Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” 2 Timothy 3:11-12

Whether via the pulpit or pen, to pervert the original Gospel of our LORD by presenting it for self-serving purposes and therefore rearranging or giving partial disclosure, is to betray the LORD and reveal oneself to be a wolf, the very enemy of Christ.

Reprehensible Reciprocal Relationship

God’s Word clues us in to the reciprocal relationship between wolves and those they mislead. Of God’s own professing people, the prophet Jeremiah told us that “My people love to have it so” (Jeremiah 5:31).

“The (false) prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?” Jeremiah 5:31

Unrepentant mere professors will only patronize and support that which does not call for them to truly repent, deny self, live the crucified life, and walk with Jesus for real. Like the professing believers Isaiah addressed, they want “smooth things.”

“That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: 10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:” Isaiah 30:9-10

Peddling the gospel for money is nothing new. To do so, one must present a partial gospel which is a false gospel. When Jesus was cleansing the temple He stated:

“And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.” John 2:16

By the Holy Ghost, the LORD’s apostle Peter specifically warns us of those who use “feigned words” to make a dollar off of God’s people:

“And through covetousne($$) shall they with feigned (fictitious) words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.” 2 Peter 2:3

The Spirit of the LORD would expose the wolves in our midst who are making a fortune as they spring board off of false premises, using psychobabble. John Eldredge for example builds the whole message of his book “Wild at Heart” off of the false premise that “men have become soft.” While this may be true, and if it’s true that all the more means that those men need the Word of God. The reason they have been softened is due to the previous false leaders who didn’t get them into the Word for themselves whereby full masculinity would have taken its rightful place. So John Eldredge is perpetrating the error by giving men his own philosophy instead of God’s Word. Yet the fact that men have become softer is no premise for a message in a book supposedly representing the LORD. Instead of simply preaching the Word and thereby establishing divine truth and seeing God build His kingdom in the lives of His men, John Eldredge begins on a faulty foundation. In that lie, he catches, snares, lures, and puts the hook in gullible, un-grounded novices and counterfeits.

The Gospel is not a fairy tale. No, it’s for true disciples. Books that seek to glamorize the Gospel are for unrepentant lazy, refuse-to-get-into-God’s-Word-for-themselves counterfeits.

Laurie Cox writes:

“I threw out a lot of of books from the beginning of my walk [in Christ] that were error, this (John Eldredge book) was one of them. The Word of God is the Greatest Book that we should be in to.”

In case you need more evidence of the threat of human authors, here is a specific warning from Christ. Jesus specifically warned us about the writers, the scribes.

“Beware of the scribes (writers).” Mark 12:38; Luke 20:46

Paul spoke of denouncing all deceit and presenting God’s Word just as it’s written:

“But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:2

Some modern “Christian” writers couch things in such a way as to appeal to the sensual nature, the uncircumcised hearts of the unrepentant. In doing so they become wealthy in this fleeting world as they mislead their readers. These who will give full account before a holy God, fulfill the prophetic utterance found in 2 Timothy 4:3-4.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:3-4

“Fables” here means stories. And that’s exactly what the glamorized “Christian” books are – fairy tale stories. They are not according to Scripture but rather a romanced version full of psychology and half-truths that deliberately leave out the severe judgment coming on all rebels, all who die in sin.

To tickle ears, one must remove the essential doctrines of the original Gospel, thereby removing the “threat” of convicting ones audience. You know, the doctrines of repentance, bringing forth good fruit to prove you are truly in Christ, personal holiness, the holiness of God, judgment to come, eternal damnation for all who die in sin, the crucified life (cross), brokenness, fearing God, the the soon return of Christ, etc.

The cross is the divine power generator of the Gospel. There is no victory outside the crucified life (Galatians 2:20). It’s all surface level wasted words if there’s no cross! (2 Corinthians 4:10-12)

SAINTS, if there’s no CROSS in his message, he’s a wolf! 100%

YOU know when you are right with God when you are running TO the cross message and not AWAY from it! “Enemies of the cross” of Christ “mind earthly things” and not the things the LORD commanded (Philippians 3:18-19).

Their very book titles give away the deceit contained therein: Titles such as Sacred Romance, Wild at Heart, and Ragamuffin Gospel are designed to sell books and deceive readers. These titles alone do not align with the picture Jesus’ followers gain from reading the pure Word of God, the King James Bible. This would mean that the authors of such books are “accursed” for preaching another, a false gospel (Galatians 1:6-9).

“For ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.” Jeremiah 23:36

Misrepresenting the LORD is not limited to failing to declare the full contents of Holy Writ (Acts 20:20, 27). Unlike Scripture, in these fairy tale volumes, there are no convicting or direct statements. This is intentional so as to cater to the unrepentant. The demands of the original Gospel repel those who are rebels at heart against the LORD. For example:

“If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:26

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

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

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

Is your favorite minister giving you verses like these above or is the wolf intentionally avoiding them in order to beguile you into a false gospel?

At all cost, the divine message of Holy Scripture must be tainted, toned down, and glamorized in order to sell books that mislead readers.

Sometimes perhaps we limit the “false prophets” and “false teachers” we’re so often warned about in Scripture to those who stand in pulpits on Sunday morning. Not. As someone has aptly stated: “The pen is mightier than the pulpit.” Unknown

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.” 2 Peter 2:1-3 

Misrepresenting the LORD is the identifying work of the wolves we are warned about in God’s Word. This deception includes both the refusal to preach the whole Word and also in painting a dishonest, misleading picture of the Christian life that is not seen in the Bible. Some modern authors project a lightness, frivolity, a novelty, which is never so seen or experienced on the pages of Holy Scripture. For example, while they deceitfully claim to be Christian writers, you will never hear a false leader, writer, etc., dare mention Bible truth such as:

“And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. 43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. 50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.” Mark 9:42-50 

One of the reasons you will never hear the above passage mentioned by modern wolves, the lame pulpiteers or literary liars of our day, is that the vast majority of them read and use modern fake news “bibles” which removed the above passage and many others. Fake New “Bibles” Exposed

This misrepresentation breeds false hope and ultimately leads to great discouragement. Glamorizing the Gospel is dangerous to souls. Women are especially susceptible to this lure and snare. This glamorization of the Gospel, void of any of the warnings or the convicting truths found in Scripture, is misleading at best and out of the context of God’s Word. When you take a step back to consider the words of some modern authors, you will discover that in their plot and subject matter, they position you and not Christ at center stage. In doing this they are setting up the reader for failure. | Modern Church Exposed

Dear reader: So you listen to a man you think is a true preacher for Christ who never speaks BIBLE words, truths such as the holiness of God, the holiness of true saints, repentance, the eternal damnation of all who die in sin, the essential crucified life of every true disciple of Jesus, or the return of Christ for a bride who is without spot or the stain of sin but rather holy? (See Ephesians 5:25-27.) And you still think he’s of God?

Identifying those who Mislead

Such men who present a false gospel are “accursed” and to be marked in order to warn and protect the people of God (Galatians 1:6-9).

“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” Romans 16:17-18 

We must beware of those who are marketing, branding, and building their own name and “by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” They have lured in and captured the heart affection of the people, intercepting them from Christ! These are antichrists or those who’ve replaced Christ with themselves. Anti means in place of.

WHILE MOST of the men people call “pastor” today are presenting fancy, stylish messages to draw attention to themselves, to their “church” or ministry, the great apostle wrote:

“That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:29-31; 2:1-5

Real ministry that glorifies God comes through crucified vessels and brings attention and glory to Christ alone and not to the mere human messenger (2 Corinthians 3:5; 4:5, etc.).

Many modern authors who pen “Christian” books carry the minds of people away in an unrealistic phenomenon unlike what is produced from reading pure Scripture from the King James Bible. Think about this in light of how the Holy Ghost through Paul warns us of those who “by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple” (Romans 16:17-18).

Two authors who present an unrealistic portrait of the life of an authentic follower of Jesus are John Eldredge (Wild at Heart) and Brennan Manning (Ragamuffin Gospel) specifically come to mind. It should also be noted that Brennan Manning is a full blown Calvinist heretic. | Calvinism Exposed

Prayer: Holy Father in Heaven, I come to You in the name of my LORD Jesus Christ. LORD, please circumcise my heart and grant the deepest repentance for my sin of rebellion, for self-idolatry. Please forgive me of my sin of forsaking You, for not studying Your pure Word and therefore glorying in the writings of mere sinful men who falsely pose as Your servants, Your scribes. Jesus, please break me to the deepest parts as only You can do. I return to You now LORD Jesus as the first love of my life. In Jesus’ name, amen.

John Eldredge ExposedFalse Prophets Busted and ExposedThe Sensual Seduction and Solicitation of the Modern Church! 

Concerning one of  John Eldredge’s books, one former reader notes:

“I threw away this book when in the 5th or 6th chapter he references & praises the work of Agnes Sanford. Agnes Sanford was a heretic. She believed the world was saved by the breath of Jesus upon his death, that the world is saved even today by his “vibrations and energy” in the world, that we have a spirit body, she leaned towards both Gnosticism & Modalism all at once, & that’s just scraping the surface. It would be one thing had he used her as a reference, then said she had other teachings he would encourage the reader to shy away from, but XYZ was a good point she was right about, but he didn’t do that. He used her as a great reference on spiritual healing, and that is dangerous. He doesn’t tell the reader anything else about her, not only leading the reader to believe she was a woman of God, but also deceiving the reader to believe he himself is a man of God, when in reality he likely espouses some of the same teachings, or at best isn’t aware of them; though, that is doubtful if he knows who she is to be referencing her to begin with. I won’t waste my time with people who 1. Use teachings of heretics to back up his/her own teachings or arguments. 2. Lead others to follow the teachings of heretics. 3. Who espouse the teachings of heretics. Please do your research on Agnes Sanford, and realize that if this man is an admirer of her teachings then he should not be given any of your time or attention.” SM

How Christ’s Kingdom Evangelism Works [podcast]


“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11

“The Word of God, like rain and snow that water the earth and cause it to produce fruit, will be sown in the hearts of men and produce fruit in the moral world (Isa_55:11; Deu_32:2). As the rain and snow fall on various kinds of ground, so does the Word of God (Mat_13:3-8, Mat_13:20-23). Like rain and snow, it will accomplish its best good in the eternal reign of the Messiah, when the knowledge of the Lord will cover the earth (Isa_11:9). Thus, the final fulfillment of this scripture will be in the future; there is only a partial fulfillment at present in the preaching of the gospel.” Dake

“God’s word is just as irresistible and effective as the rain and snow. All the armies in the world cannot stop them, and they accomplish their intended purpose. God’s Word never fails to achieve its aims.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” 1 Peter 1:23

ANY person who doesn’t understand the power of God’s Word, when sown into the hearts of men, has no business pretending to be a pastor or elder in Christ’s body.

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

The power of God’s Word when it enters the human heart:

“He that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.  29  Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:28-29

The Harvest is Plentiful – So many lost souls hungry to hear the Gospel – the Laborers Few

“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 having no shepherd. 37  Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38  Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:35-38

Sin separates men from God.

“But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” Isaiah 59:2

People are born again by the WORD of God which means the Word must be sown in their hearts and germinate.

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7  So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 8  Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9  For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-9

Faithfully sowing the seed of the Word of God in the hearts of men assures that God will be glorified in saving each of those souls who receive and believe His truth in repentance and faith.

Here’s how evangelism and our LORD’s kingdom work works—layers of Gospel workers. Usually we are the second, third, etc., Gospel labourer, following up on the seed planted in the hearts of the people we minister to. Let’s gain this vision, this illustration from Christ concerning our work for Him, in His kingdom.

Anyone putting off, pushing into the future, evangelizing the lost, is disobeying Jesus Christ. Anyone not evangelizing the lost around them cannot rightly claim to love Jesus. They are full of self and in need of crying out to God in repentance.

John 4:34 – 38

“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 

35  Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 

36  And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together

37  And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 

38  I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.” 

“In the elderly home we minister in, we met a new resident, that had been there only a few months. When she came to our meeting, she seemed down, so I began to talk with her. She said, “well I don’t leave my room much anymore as my very good friend just passed away.” She stated her name and said, “before she passed I gave her the gospel and she received Jesus.” God is so good, as we had ministered to her friend as well, and seeds were planted, and this new Lady watered! The more I continued to talk with her, I learned she has been preaching the gospel and some residents are getting saved. Alleluia! Next week, we will give her some Jesus tracts.” Karen Cochran

Picture planting a seed in a garden, then standing back and watching the ground you planted that seed in and expecting to see it sprout up visibly from the soil it was planted in. Not wise, right? Right.

The picture our LORD gives here is planting that seed and then moving on, just like anyone who plants seeds to grow some plant, crop.

The Parable of the Seed Growing

Mark 4

26  And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 

27  And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how

28  For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 

29  But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.” Mark 4:26-29

“And should sleep and rise night and day – That is, he should sleep by night, and rise by day; for so the words are obviously to be understood. He knoweth not how – How a plant grows is a mystery in nature, which the wisest philosopher in the universe cannot fully explain.” Adam Clarke

In ministry, it’s always seeding, planting. It’s GOD, not us, who brings the increase. This pertains to the invisible work of God in the hearts of men.

“The parable may be intended to encourage the disciples. Their responsibility is to sow the seed. They may sleep by night and rise by day, knowing that God’s Word will not return to Him void, but will accomplish what He has intended it to do. By a mysterious and miraculous process, quite apart from man’s strength and skill, the Word works in human hearts, producing fruit for God. Man plants and waters but God gives the increase.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” Psalms 19:7

“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” John 15:16

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, please break me. Unite my heart to fear Your name. Thank You for choosing and ordaining me to Your kingdom work. Please bear Your fruit in and through this life, this vessel for Your eternal glory. Let that fruit remain dear LORD. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Jesus Washes the Feet of His Own [podcast]


What was Jesus demonstrating and teaching us when He washed the feet of His disciples?

The Washed Way – begins with “the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost” – being born again (Titus 3:5-7; John 3:3, 7).

“On the way back from the public bath, a person’s feet would get dirty again. He didn’t need another bath but did need to have his feet washed. ‘He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean.’ There is a difference between the bath and the basin. The bath speaks of the cleansing received at the time of one’s salvation. Cleansing from the penalty of sin through the blood of Christ takes place only once. The basin speaks of cleansing from the pollution of sin and must take place continually through the Word of God. There is one bath but many foot-washings.Believer’s Bible Commentary

“If these last words of our Lord had any spiritual reference, it is not easy to say what it was. A common opinion is the following: He who is washed – who is justified through the blood of the Lamb, needeth only to wash his feet – to regulate all his affections and desires; and to get, by faith, his conscience cleansed from any fresh guilt, which he may have contracted since his justification.” Adam Clarke

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

“Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
2  And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him;
3  Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
4  He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
5  After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
6  Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7  Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8  Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
9  Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10  Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
11  For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
12  So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
13  Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14  If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15  For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
16  Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
17  If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. – John 13:1-17

Those not happy prove they are not humble nor holy (John 13).

“If loving the person in front of you seems like too small of a ministry opportunity, you’ve forgotten the simplicity of the Gospel.” unknown

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet as an Act of Final Sealing of His Mercy, His Will

 “Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end (to the end, to the utmost).” John 13:1

“Before the feast – Namely, on Wednesday, in the paschal week. Having loved his own – His apostles, he loved them to the end – Of his life.” John Wesley

Adam Clarke writes:

 “He loved them unto the end – Continued his fervent affection towards them to his latest breath, and gave them that convincing proof of it which is mentioned Joh_13:5. That the disciples alone are meant here every man must see.”

Of these cornerstone verses of John 13, F.B. Meyer writes:

“John 13:1-11

JESUS GLORIFIES HUMBLE SERVICE

In the Temple the laver preceded the brazen altar. It was kept filled with pure water for the constant washing of the priests; Exo_30:18-21; Lev_16:4. We cannot have fellowship with Christ at Calvary or on Olivet unless we draw near with our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

The Synoptic Gospels tell us that on their way to the feast the disciples had yielded to contention and pride. It was needful that these should be put away, and our Lord’s love was equal to the occasion. He loved them to the end of His life and to the end of love. Only such love could have made saints and apostles out of such material.

Jesus began a work which has never ceased, and which will continue “till all the ransomed Church of God be saved to sin no more.” When we have contracted guilt, we have not to begin our whole life over again, but to go back to the place where we dropped the thread of obedience and begin there.”

May we never forget how merciful our LORD Jesus was to the woman at the well (John 4), the woman caught in the act of adultery (John 8), and the woman with the issue of blood (Luke 8).

It’s of interest to note how this 13th chapter of the glorious Gospel of John begins with Christ’s love to His disciples and closes with His command for them to “love one another” as He taught and personally demonstrated to them:

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” John 13:34-35 

“When you fall in love don’t you want to shout it from the rooftops? He, the man you are in love with, is all you talk about! Should be the same with Jesus! You want to tell everyone about this man, the Savior who saved your life! Just as the woman at the well did! She told the whole city. ‘Come, and see a man, which told me all the things that ever I did: is this not the Christ?’ John 4: 28-29.” Karen Cochran

YOUR PRAYER: Father, in Jesus’ name, please reduce me to love.

Antichrist

The Mission of the Spirit of Antichrist [podcast]

How do we discern the “many antichrists” operating in the church world today? (1 John 2:18)

Antichrist or Christ? [podcast]


Antichrists Among Us [podcast]


“Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” Revelation 12:12

How is Satan bringing his great wrath on mankind in this last hour? Isn’t it the same way he’s always done it, yet now in an even more feverish, intensified way? Yes. His tools, his “devices” are the same—from the Garden to now! This is exactly what the Holy Ghost told us through Paul:

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man (it’s Satan’s same temptations/tactics): but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13

Knowing and walking in this divine knowledge will help us stop Satan from getting an advantage over our lives.

“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11

In summation, “the spirit of antichrist” is Satan and exists to mislead people away from his arch enemy, the LORD Jesus Christ. This “spirit of antichrist” seeks to demote, to denigrate, and destroy the testimony of Holy Scriptures which reveal, which hold as their grand subject—Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, God Almighty, who was bodily crucified, buried, and raised again from the dead.

“The spirit of truth” vs “the spirit of error.”

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2  Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4  Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5  They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6  We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.” 1 John 4:1-6

“That Spirit of Antichrist”

“Theological liberalism and religious cults (and cultists) betray themselves as ‘antichrist’ (v3) when they deny the full deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, or His redemptive death and resurrection for our salvation (v 9-10; 2:2). Every departure from Biblical revelation concerning Christ opens itself up to demonic ‘spirits’ of deception (v1) because it sets aside the authority and complete trustworthiness of God’s Word.” Life in the Spirit Study Bible

“4:3 And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. This is how you can detect the false teachers. They do not confess the Jesus who was described in the previous verse. This is the spirit of the Antichrist, which has been prophesied and which is now already in the world. There are many today who are willing to say acceptable things about Jesus, but they will not confess Him as God Incarnate. They will say that Christ is ‘divine,’ but not that He is God.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

“Spirit of antichrist – All the opponents of Christ’s incarnation, and consequently of his passion, death, and resurrection, and the benefits to be derived from them.” Adam Clarke

Seems to me that anyone who denies the essentials of the Messiah (virgin birth, divinity, etc.), is an “antichrist.”

Jesus told the antichrist pharisees:

“I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” John 8:24 

“8:24 Jesus often used repetition for emphasis. Here He solemnly warned them again that they would die in their sins. If they steadfastly refused to believe on Him, there was no alternative. Apart from the Lord Jesus, there is no way to obtain forgiveness of sins, and those who die with sins unforgiven cannot possibly enter heaven at last. The word He is not found in this verse in the original, though it may be implied. It reads literally: ‘if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.’ We see in the words I am another claim to deity by the Lord Jesus.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

As was the case in the Garden, Satan’s mission is to misdirect, to remove Christ’s people from worshiping and upholding Him as the Head of His body, as the Captain of our salvation, who alone, who exclusively came as God the Word in the Flesh, Immanuel, and paid the full “It is finished” price for bringing us back to Himself and the Father from a life of sin (Matthew 1:21-3; John 1:1-4, 10, 14; 19:30). Holy Scripture informs us that “the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time” (Revelation 12:12).

There are a myriad of facets, methods, mediums the prince of darkness is using in his full scale war against the Son of God. One of those methods is a changing of the words of God which is what Satan did in the very Garden of Eden which led to the fall of the first man and woman into sin. Satan cast doubt on God’s Word in order to lead the man and woman to doubt to, lose credibility in God and His Word, to weaken their resolve, and get them to not believe and obey what the LORD had stated to them in 2:17 (Genesis 3:1). Then the enemy altered what God had said (2:17) by adding a word (“not” — Genesis 3:4) This led to the fall of mankind into sin. New “bibles” equals/is apostasy and there could be no other spirit behind these corruptions of God’s words but “the spirit of antichrist” (1 John 4:3).

It’s interesting that the Bible uses the phrases “many antichrists” and also “many, which corrupt the word of God(1 John 2:18; 2 Corinthians 2:17).

“For we are not as many, which corrupt 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

There’s a direct connection between the snake in the Garden, animated by Satan, and those who question and pervert the words of God today.

“…ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.” Jeremiah 23:36

Perverting the words of God comes in many and various ways. His time is short and Satan is on an all-out offensive and many do not see it (1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 12:12).

How can anyone involved with, or agreeing with, or defending the changing of God’s Word be anything but an antichrist?

From our growing knowledge of God’s Word, just WHAT “spirit” do we think is behind the removal of the very “BLOOD” of Jesus from Colossians 1:14 in the new versions? Certainly we know this was “that spirit of antichrist” and surely we can conclude that is could only be “that spirit of antichrist” anointing, behind those who defend those who attack corruptions of God’s Word.

SO YOU agree with SATAN having removed the BLOOD of Jesus from Colossians 1:14? You are going to take sides with Satan himself against the Almighty you pretend to serve?

If your “bible” doesn’t have the BLOOD of Jesus in Colossians 1:14, you are now accountable. God knows you know!

The antichrists by Stacy Strother:

“I think it is worthy to mention that John is addressing the church in with this passage (1 John 4:1-3). He is warning the people, God‘s people, to be on the watch, and to be doctrinally ready to discern that antichrist spirit. I believe John is imploring the church that these antichrists are not just a bunch of people out in the world that noticeably hate God, but they are people who seem to appreciate God, who pretend to be saved. No, rather that they are coming from WITHIN the church body, serving a separate or different agenda and doctrine.

I believe the latest false doctrines that have emerged over the last 20 – 30 years are part of this antichrist spirit, which is basically a doctrine. WOF, the emergent church, IHOP, NAR and so on, all seep with the stench of this antichrist spirit.

John is telling them that they are living in the last hour and that the antichrist spirit is not just coming, it is abounding now, presently, within the professing church world.

A thought to glean from this might be that John was teaching his disciples that there would be certain doctrines come forth that might argue that Jesus left, and His kingdom is so distant that it doesn’t really affect our lives here and now. By doing this, it would leave room for the false teachers to implement a devised doctrine. Such doctrines would appear as authentic, but rather when the student of the Word peers into those false doctrines, he finds that it is actually another Jesus altogether. It is antichrist.”

Paul L. Freeman writes:

“Are we to believe the scholars when they tell us that no important doctrines are affected by the new Modern Versions? It is obvious that they are not correct. What they really mean to say is that when all the changes have been made the Bible Doctrines are still there somewhere else in the Bible. If there are ten verses showing the Virgin Birth of Christ, and they have removed two, there are still eight remaining to prove the doctrine. That may satisfy them, but the Fundamental believer sees that as a piece by piece destruction of the Word of God.

We would accuse them of taking away from the Word of God. They would accuse us of using a Bible which has many additions inserted by overzealous Christian copyists. The issue now becomes quite clear. We must either believe that overzealous heretics have corrupted the original Word of God or believe that overzealous believers have added to the original Word of God. I can understand why heretics would want to corrupt the original Word of God, but I cannot believe that Christians would add one word to the Word of God which they have been entrusted to copy and pass along. The Spirit of God within Christians would put a holy awe and reverence around the sacred word and guided by that same Spirit they would copy what God had given them. My conclusion is that the new Modern Versions are based on Greek manuscripts that have been corrupted by heretics who changed the Word of God to agree with their rejection of the Deity of Christ and their Humanism regarding salvation. The Greek Text underlying the King James Version is not filled with additions made by overzealous Christians. It is the Word of God preserved by the Spirit of God and it exalts the Lord Jesus Christ, giving him his proper place and the glory due unto his name.” | Bible Doctrines Affected by Modern Version (includes the deity of Christ maligned and attacked)

Anyone who participates in heretical doctrine or practices proves themselves to be under the control of “another spirit” which is the same devil as in the Garden of Eden, right? Read this, the Holy Spirit’s warning to us from Paul the apostles. Paul is seeing the body of Christ as Adam and Eve before they were beguiled by the serpent:

“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 (deceived) Eve through his subtilty (cunning trickery), 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 simplicity that is in Christ” would be what is recorded about Christ the Messiah in God’s Word with nothing added or taken away.

  • “another Jesus” – as in one that was not born of a virgin, was not God, did not die and rise bodily, etc.
  • “another spirit” – that evil “spirit of antichrist” behind the denigration of Christ, the attempt to rob Him of His glory (Colossians 2:18-19).
  • “another gospel” – a message, a false gospel that does not uphold Christ as that “the record” of Holy Scripture reveals Him.

Divine Commands Forbidding the Altering of God’s Words/Word

The obvious mission of Satan, “that spirit of antichrist” is to deceive and to destroy and to devour the saints of Christ. Adam and Eve were in perfect, sinless communion with God, right? Right. How did Satan derail them—get them removed from His holy presence? He simply questioned and changed the words of God.

If a person is not opposed to the desecration of “the RECORD that God gave of his Son”, such a person is against Christ. Such a person is not with but rather against the LORD—regardless of his mere profession (Matthew 12:30; Titus 1:16). Isn’t the very definition of antichrist to be opposed to or against Christ, right?

What do we call anyone pretending to be an American who “shreds the Constitution”? A traitor right? And traitors are worthy of death, right?

At this dark time in the history of Israel, the Scriptures had been lost and out of circulation among the people of God. Then they were found and read before the king, king Jehoiakim (the son of Josiah) and his servants. As a result, conviction of sin came and certain parts of God’s Word were rejected and thrown into the fire to burned and to be vanished out of their presence. Jehoiakim was a Bible burner. What he didn’t like, due to the darkness of his own heart, he thought in vain that he could just burn it and that it would go away. Not.

“My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.” Psalms 89:34

This is a fascinating occurrence captured, recorded in Jeremiah 36 that is transpiring today in full scale, perpetrated by false leaders like king Jehoiakim (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Read Jeremiah 36. Remember that anyone participating in the altering of God’s words, is an antichrist.

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

Anyone defending the altering of God’s Word, which is what the new “bibles” have done, is under the control of a devil, the murderer who rebelled in eternity past, was cast to the earth, and began his war against God and His people by casting doubt upon and changing His words (Genesis 2:17; 3:1, 4).

If altering, changing God’s Word isn’t satanic, nothing is! See Genesis 2:17; 3:1, 4; 2 and Corinthians 2:1

New “bibles” are altered versions of God’s pure Word. They are the altering, the changing of “the RECORD that God gave of his Son”.  The very premise of such is forbidden by the LORD (Deuteronomy 4:2; Jeremiah 26:2; Proverbs 30:5-6; Mark 13:31; Revelation 22:18-19). Read these carefully, prayerfully:

“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.” Deuteronomy 4:2

“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5-6

“… for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.” Jeremiah 23:36

“Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD’S house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD’S house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:” Jeremiah 26:2 

“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” Mark 13:31

“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Revelation 22:18-19

“Antichrist” simply means to oppose or more insidiously, to put something, anything in front of, in place of the Jesus Christ divinely testified to in “the record” of Holy Writ.

There are “many antichrists” and anyone opposing or putting something or someone (including self) in front of Christ is an idolater and in my opinion can be referred to as an antichrist.

“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.” 2 John 1:7

Anyone defending these alterations of “the record that God gave of his Son” is under the control of “the spirit of antichrist” (1 John 4:1-3). In their allowing the very words of God to be perverted is the denial of “the record” or the recorded testimony that Jesus Christ is God.

It all goes back to what he did in the Garden (Genesis 3:1; 2:17>3:4): If you want to discern the work of Satan in this late hour and how he has “come down with great wrath,” look at the changing of God’s Word via the new versions (Revelation 12:12).
