False Pastors: The Message of Sly Beguilers

“This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: 3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,” 2 Peter 2:1-3

“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11:3

It has been wisely stated that “Wolves entertain goats. True disciples feed sheep.”

Beguilers want people to like them so they tell those people what they want to hear instead of the LORD’s truth. That’s what they are about – self. They are serving self instead of being a messenger for the Savior. Self-preservation is their agenda which reveals that they have not truly repented. They “mind earthly things” and their “god is their belly.”(Philippians 3:18-19)

“Thy prophets (false) have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered (uncovered, revealed) thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens (light things that are non-essentials) and causes of banishment.” Lamentations 2:14

According to the divinely-inspired message above, when sin is “discovered” or dealt with, men can then see their error and “turn away” from it and be delivered out of their “captivity” (bondage). Yet Jeremiah wrote that the false teachers among God’s people dealt with “false burdens” instead of the sin that was separating the people from the LORD. As an example of one who deals only with “false burdens” instead of what is primarily important to the LORD, take a look at this quote:

“I don’t get deep and theological.” Joel Osteen, New York Times July 18, 2005

JUST WHY DOESN’T OSTEEN “GET DEEP AND THEOLOGICAL”? FIRSTLY, HE DOESN’T KNOW GOD’S WORD VERY WELL AND HAS NO BUSINESS ACTING/POSING AS CHRIST’S LEADER. SECONDLY, TO “GET DEEP AND THEOLOGICAL” WOULD MEAN THAT JOEL OSTEEN WOULD PREACH ON SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS, HOLINESS, JUDGMENT TO COME, THE DAILY CROSS, AND THE SOON RETURN OF CHRIST. UNLESS HE REPENTS, OSTEEN WILL NEVER PREACH ON THESE ESSENTIAL DOCTRINES OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH BECAUSE THE GOATS HE IS GATHERING WOULD FLEE LIKE DEER FROM A LION.

HERE OSTEEN IS PRETENDING TO BE DOING NEEDY SOULS A FAVOR BY TELLING THEM THAT HE DOESN’T “GET DEEP,” STRAIN ANYONE’S INTELLECT, OR PREACH ANYTHING AT ALL THAT WOULD BRING CONVICTION OF SIN TO THEIR HEARTS. NO, INSTEAD, BECAUSE HE IS SERVING SELFAND NOT THE SAVIOR, OSTEEN IS SAYING THAT HE IS THE FUN GUY, THE CIRCUS LEADER, THE MAN OF THE HOUR WHO IS ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE A WORD OF “ENCOURAGEMENT” TO MAKE EVERYONE FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEIR UNREPENTANT SELVES. HE CATERS TO THOSE WHO WANT TO BE ENTERTAINED. ONLY THOSE WHO DESPISE TRUTH MIGRATE TO THIS FALSE MESSAGE. IN FACT, GOD HIMSELF IS TURNING THEM OVER TO “STRONG DELUSION” SO THAT THEY WILL BELIEVE THE LIES, BE DECEIVED, AND ETERNALLY “DAMNED.” (2 THESSALONIANS 2:9-12) THE FACT IS, THAT THERE ARE SO MANY SELF-SERVING, GULLIBLE, BIBLICALLY ILLITERATE DUPES, THAT JOEL OSTEEN HAS BECOME A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE BY TELLING THESE REBELLIOUS MASSES EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR INSTEAD OF TELLING THEM WHAT THE LORD SAYS. AS A WOLF, OSTEEN IS NO DIFFERENT THAN THOSE OF ISAIAH’S DAY. THE COUNTERFEITS WHO DON’T SEE THIS MAN AS A WOLF ARE ALSO THE SAME AS THOSE IN THE PROPHET ISAIAH’S DAY:

Joel Osteen is said to be worth $40 million dollars and his empire continues to grow as biblical illiteracy soars due to wolves who refuse to get people into God’s Word.

Of Osteen’s statement where he shamelessly and openly admits that he refuses to “get deep”, Cheryl B. writes:

“Not going deep into the BIBLE may land you deep in LAKE OF FIRE!” Cheryl B.

“That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law (Word) of the Lord: ¹⁰Which 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

Isaiah refused to join the many false leaders of his day in telling the people what their unrepentant sinful hearts wanted to hear. The perfect, unchanging LORD told His servant Isaiah to raise his voice aloud and show the people their sins.

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

Man’s core problem is nothing other than sin. Sinning against God caused the first man and woman to fall and that problem plagues mankind today. Christ came to solve this problem and yet, He only saves those who truly repent and put their trust in Him and then abide (remain) intimate with Him (John 15:1-6). Those who truly walk with Jesus bear good fruit (John 15:16). All who get saved and then don’t remain in Christ, will perish (Matthew 10:22; 24:10-13; Colossians 1:23; Hebrews 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39, etc.).

“If a man abide (remain) not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned (hell).” John 15:6

GOD NEVER HAS AND NEVER WILL GIVE ANY MAN LICENSE TO PREACH ANYTHING EXCEPT HIS UNCHANGING WORD OF TRUTH. ANY MAN WHO IS LEADING AND NOT STRICTLY PREACHING THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD, IS A REBEL AND A BEGUILER. SUCH A MAN IS LEADING HIS LISTENERS TO ETERNAL DAMNATION WHILE PRETENDING TO BE DOING THAT WHICH IS IN THEIR BEST INTEREST.

You see, it’s real simple: Leaders who want to be popular want you to like them. They are doing what they do for THEMselves, not Christ. If they were following Christ they would be preaching EXACTLY WHAT Christ and His holy apostles preached directly from His written Word – sin, repentance, holiness, forgiveness, eternal damnation in hell, judgment to come, defilement, the daily cross, etc. If these beguilers can get you to like THEM, then you will give them your money by sending it in or buying their materials, books, etc. and by telling your friends about THEM.

OTHERS FOOLISHLY REASON, “WELL, JOEL OSTEEN IS SUCH A NICE GUY. HOW DARE YOU!” IF YOU THINK THAT JOEL OSTEEN CARES ABOUT YOU, YOU ARE UTTERLY GULLIBLE. EVERY TIME HE SPEAKS OR WRITES SOME BOOK OF LIES, HE’S SMILING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK DUE TO THE HORDES WHO WANT THEIR FLESH FLATTERED INSTEAD OF SEEKING TRUTH. SMILING, BEGUILING JOEL REFUSES TO PREACH THE ORIGINAL GOSPEL AND IF YOU CAN’T TELL THAT THAT IS THE CASE, YOU OBVIOUSLY DO NOT KNOW GOD’S WORD AND THE DOCTRINES OF THE ORIGINAL GOSPEL. – COWER DOWN, COP OUT, OR SHINE HIS LIGHT ON THE DARK WOLVES WHO ARE DEVOURING THE SHEEP JESUS BLED TO SAVE. WHAT SHALL YOU DO?

The people who patronize such obvious false prophets, are mostly to blame. False prophets would not be popular if there were not so many self seeking, selfish, Christ-denying rebels. “Like people, like priests.” (Hosea 4:9)

In the divine authority of our LORD, the apostle Paul commanded Timothy:

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judgethe quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; ²Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. ³For 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; ⁴And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables (stories).” 2 Timothy 4:1-4

The false teacher today is simply anyone in leadership who does not simply preach God’s pure Word. Yes, it’s that simple! The LORD never has and never will give any leader the license/permission to preach anything except His pure Word. Nothing could be clearer in Holy Scripture (Ezekiel 3:4b; 1 Peter 4:11). Beguilers are known in that they have and are refusing to simply “preach the word” and have turned to “fables” or story telling.

SIMPLY PUT, THE FALSE LEADER IS KNOWN BY HIS CATERING TO WHAT MERE SINFUL MEN WANT INSTEAD OF WHAT GOD SAYS – IN HIS WRITTEN WORD.

WOLVES MAKE IT BIG TODAY BY SIMPLY TELLING THE UNREPENTANT WHAT THEY WISH TO HEAR. ESSENTIALLY THEY ARE GOAT ENTERTAINERS … “ENTERTAIN ME AND I’LL FOLLOW AND FUND YOU …. ALL THE WAY TO ETERNAL HELL. AS LONG AS I CAN HAVE MY ‘BEST LIFE NOW!’”

THERE ARE MANY GULLIBLE DUPES IN THE WORLD WHO REFUSE TO READ THE BIBLE GOD GAVE US AND ARE THEREFORE TAKEN IN BY AND SUPPORT THE MYRIAD OF WOLVES IN THE RELIGIOUS SCENE TODAY.

False teachers today deceitfully feign to be doing people a favor by not speaking about sin even though in God’s Word there are many lists of sins that defile men (Mark 7:20-23; Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation 21:8, 27, etc.). Yet, that’s exactly why Christ came – to save and make men free from the “captivity” of sin (Matthew 1:21; John 1:29; 8:30-36; 1 John 3:1-8). According to what God told the prophet Jeremiah, these beguilers are keeping people in bondage (captivity). Those who give ear to wolves like this will remain in bondage to their sins. Their sins aren’t being addressed and therefore they are not being made free from them by Christ and are going to die in sin and go to hell. You see, no one can maintain a relationship with He who is “Holy, holy, holy” while living in sin (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8). In fact, the Bible tells us that without personal “holiness … no man shall see the Lord.” (Hebrews 12:14) Anyone going to God’s holy Heaven will go there by following Christ in His prescribed way. Listen to the words of our LORD’s apostle John:

“And every man that hath this hope (Christ’s return) in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. ⁴Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. ⁵And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. ⁶Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. ⁷Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. ⁸He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:3-8

The true servant of Christ will love you and will pray for your soul and will feed you truth, never withholding divine truth to make you feel comfortable in your sins and therefore usher your eternal soul into hell.

The LORD places a high premium on truth:

“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” 3 John 4

Though they be few, without exception, men who truly serve Jesus Christ, the Truth, are all about the truth.

Isaiah the prophet and servant of the LORD was in union with the LORD and refused to depart from Him and therefore from preaching only His Word. The LORD has and is raising up a small remnant of “pastors according to” His “heart.”

“And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.” Jeremiah 3:15

Even though there will be great “controversy” against them, true under-shepherds will never cease to teach the LORD’s people how to discern and mark false teachers and false doctrines:

“And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. ²⁴And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies…” Ezekiel 44:23-24

FEEDBACK:

“Joel Osteen was born in Texas and has an estimated net worth of $40 million dollars. A pastor, author, and televangelist, Joel Osteen is the pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. He took over his father’s role as a pastor and televangelist, despite having very little formal religious training, in 1999. Since then, the Lakewood Church broadcast has grown exponentially and can be seen in 100 different countries. Yes, he IS a celebrity! Babylon is mad about her idols!!!!

‘A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols. Jeremiah 50:38’

GREAT word brother! PREACH it loud and clear! PREACH, WARN AND TEACH MY BROTHER!!!” Stephen Michels

“One thing I’ll say, if you don’t go deep and get there – when the winds start to really blow – you’ll see a lot of spiritual leaders flee the flock – I told my good friend several months ago – just watch this happen – the money preachers probably have houses in another country somewhere – with a bag of money – but God knows who will rise unto Him and who will stay and maybe wish the rocks would fall on them….it’s a sad thing to think about.” Connie R.

“I used to love Joel O’s sermons, I used to think ‘what a deeply spiritual man’……that was before I had any knowledge of the Word! How utterly grateful I am that our Father opened my eyes & taught me from His Word, especially on how to identify false prophets!” Yolandi H.

“I totally agree … this is a false teacher … I recently left a group over it. The consensus in the group was Osteen is so popular he MUST be good! WOW, what flawed thinking!” Kathy G.

“Can we blame only him? This is what most people want to hear. The majority of people don’t want to hear the truth. They select these so-called preachers to make them feel good. There’s no conviction, no repentance. Even here on Facebook I notice that when we post the truth (Word of God) you don’t get a lot of likes and comments. But when we post stuff like ‘God is gonna give me my stuff’ and stuff that get your emotions worked up you get 50 likes.” Nicole F.

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

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOUR “CHURCH” OR FAVORITE PREACHER? It’s real simple… if they are not preaching the cardinal doctrines of the original Gospel given to us in the New Testament, they are preaching “another gospel” and are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9).

“For MANY DECEIVERS ARE ENTERED INTO THE WORLD, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 1:7-11

Modern church wolves refuse to preach the original Gospel of Jesus Christ from the pages of Holy Scripture and in the power of the Holy Ghost. No, instead they preach sermonettes that cater to the self-worshiping idolaters they entertain and collect money from (2 Timothy 3:1-7). They don’t even use the King James Bible but rather some cheap counterfeit. Their ear-tickling topics range from healing damaged emotions, 5 love languages, best life now, recovery, learning to love yourSELF, coping platitudes, loneliness, psychobabble band aids, law of attraction, being a successful single, purpose driven delusionment, etc.

Fake “bibles” Exposed

LOTS of lying going on when we have counterfeits peddling affirmation without salvation, the “promise” of things “getting better” when their prey are heading straight to hell. Especially certain social media platforms are flooded with this false gospel coming out of “Christians.” There is no sin or repentance in their message which alone identifies it as a false gospel. You see, the things that are happening to the sinners around us are allowed by God in order to lead them to repentance and yet, the counterfeits among us are assuring those sinners it’s all going to get better and never giving them the 10 Commandments to show them they are sinners (Galatians 3:24) and then, leading them to Jesus (Romans 10:9-10, 13, etc.). 10 Commandments Evangelism

In the modern church world, there is …..

No cross. No Jesus. No blood. No judgment. No sin. No repentance. No hell. No readiness for the soon return of Jesus. No Heaven. No equipping preparation for ministry. No Scripture memory. No holiness. No Messianic prophecies and their fulfillment. No Christology. No fear of God. No repentance. etc., all of which are Bible doctrines essential to salvation and/or essential to sound foundation in Christ and are missing in the modern church world.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

The only reason we, each of us has been deceived in the past is due to our own biblical ignorance (Proverbs 24:5; Hosea 4:6; 2 Timothy 2:15). Lacking the knowledge of the Word, we didn’t see what they were LEAVING OUT. We didn’t know to discern what they were teaching and what they were NOT teaching. Now, as we grow in the knowledge of the LORD through diligent daily study of His Word, we know to look for the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith.

When’s the last time you heard verses like this in the modern church?

“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

The modern church is going down in flames into the flames of hell. It cannot be reformed. Come out from it.

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4

In 2 Timothy 4:3 to “endure sound doctrine” means to hold oneself accountable to it. WHAT’s at the root of those who refuse to “endure sound doctrine”? – They simply do not love Jesus like He commanded them to (Matthew 22:37-39). They profess Christ as Savior and yet love self supremely and therefore serve the god of self. The Holy Ghost through Paul told us this of those who have a mere “form of godliness” in the last day resumé found in 2 Timothy 3:1-7.

Notice by divine design the very first thing he reveals is that “men shall be lovers of their own selves.” All the following evil comes out of self love, refusal to love God supremely and therefore repent, deny self, take up the cross and follow Jesus:

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:1-7

God is toppling all the heart idols (Ezekiel 14:3)… because He’s Jealous and wants us looking to Him and not these mere men, these vile wolves, these celebrity sinners posing as His representatives (Exodus 34:14).

“For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:” Exodus 34:14

Swept Away in the “Strong Delusion” [podcast]

Recorded at a fellowship in Houston, Texas

God Himself personally sends a “strong delusion” to all who do not love His truth so that they WILL believe lies. He greases their pole to hell. That’s how personally He takes it when people call Him a liar by not believing His Word.

“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Colossians 2:8

Nourished Up and Enduring to the End [podcast]

Recently a dear brother in Christ related this testimony to me of our LORD’s work in his life:

“I had a ‘back to Jesus’ moment after the election. As I was horribly disappointed in our country and the dividing of even my own friends, I was praying: ‘I’ve lost faith in my country, I’ve lost faith in my friends…’ then it hit me… I had put my faith in the wrong things. It’s so easy to depend on others. But now I am trusting only in my Lord and Savior.”

“For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” Hebrews 11:10

“For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.” Hebrews 13:14

Satan seeks to seduce God’s people with counterfeit causes – causes outside of that which is clearly defined by Holy Scripture as Christ’s Gospel cause! A moral cause is not necessarily the work of the Messiah. Loving the LORD with all of our being and doing His work, the work of the Gospel is His will as we are “new creature(s)” in Christ and His “ambassadors,” sent forth by Him to teach His Word (Matthew 28:18-20; 2 Corinthians 5:20).

HAVE WE EXALTED FREEDOM ABOVE CHRIST – THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN GIVE IT? “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3-5) and “No man can serve two masters” right? (Matthew 6:24)

Do we love Jesus more than freedom? Do we love His Great Commission more than the cause of getting our country back?

In fact we have no freedom if we are not born again and presently walking with and abiding in Jesus on HIS stated terms (John 8:31-32; 15:1-16). Jesus came to save, heal, and grant freedom in the Spirit, from Satan, and freedom from sin to those who are His (Matthew 1:21; Luke 4:18; John 1:29; Acts 26:18; Titus 2:11-14; 1 John 3:1-10, etc.). Here, listen to the Son of God ….

“As he spake these words, many believed on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, IF ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:30-32

The LORD makes free those whom He saves, those who continue in an abiding relationship with Him (John 15).

You must “desire the sincere milk of the word” and feed your spirit the Word of God daily or you will grow weak very quickly and fall away (1 Peter 2:2). Jesus calls us to be “Nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine” (1 Timothy 4:6).

A Good Servant of Christ Jesus

Jesus is KING and kingdom living is all about exalting KING Jesus – not mere men or organizations or ministries! It’s only then that His divine “nourishment” is going to flow down into His beloved body!

“Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.” Colossians 2:18-19

Heaven’s “nourishment” only transpires when KING Jesus is truly exalted.

“I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” Isaiah 42:8

Modern church pawns want you to become enamored with THEM, not CHRIST. It’s a sales job! Beware. Read Colossians 2:18-19 closely.

“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6

Feed. Feast. Fuel. Those who choose not to feast upon and fuel their hearts and minds with God’s Word daily, are not going to make it. They will walk weak, empty, and malnourished, just as the 5 foolish virgins did and were shut out of the kingdom (Matthew 25:1-13). They have freely chosen not to be “nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine” (1 Timothy 4:6).

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2

Daily drinking the healing oil of God’s Word assures divine nourishment and wholeness in your spirit. God’s Word gets in us only when we get into it – and seek Him in it daily. Memorize Jeremiah 15:16 now.

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

JUST as none of us understand but know the blessing of food nourishing our physical bodies, so the Word of God nourishes our spirit man, our hearts. It’s a daily must. Feeding and being nourished by the words of God is an imperative (Job 12:23; Jeremiah 15:16; Hebrews 5:11-14; 1 Peter 2:2, etc.). His Word cannot get into us and nourish us until we get into it! Let the nourishment begin!

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly (abundantly)…” Colossians 3:16

Note here in the above passage, we see Christ instructing those who believed upon Him to “continue in my word.” This was Jesus’ perfect opportunity to tell these new believers that they were “eternally secure” but He didn’t because He’s the Son of God and not a false prophet!

Jesus says that it’s only “IF ye continue in my word” that you will know the truth, be made free and walk in the liberty, the freedom He alone can grant from sin! See John 8:31-32, 36. YOU GOT SAVED? GOOD – NOW STAY SAVED!

“Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.” Hosea 10:12

You must turn your heart to the LORD – in true worship – in order to walk in the liberty that He alone can give!

“Nevertheless when it (your heart) shall turn to the Lord, the vail (that blinds) shall be taken away. 17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” 2 Corinthians 3:16-17

Fake “bibles” such as the NIV teach that “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free” (Galatians 5:1). Read that again. In the context of the whole of Scripture, we must ask: Did Jesus come to set us free for freedom’s sake or to be set free from sin in order to serve Him as new creatures? (2 Corinthians 5:17-18). Any student of God’s Word knows that this NIV rendering of Galatians 5:1 is a contradiction, a lie. | Fake “bibles” Exposed!

“For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.” Galatians 5:13

“As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.” 1 Peter 2:16

As was foretold, we are seeing that some are departing from the faith, listening to devils and their doctrines from the fake “bibles” and false prophets of today, instead of being daily nourished up in the pure words of God and helping feed Christ’s flock. Get a King James Bible.

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; … 6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. … 16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.” 1 Timothy 4:1-2, 6, 16

Any person who is teaching that it’s impossible to “depart from the faith” (to leave Christ) after being saved, is a false teacher (Luke 8:13).

“Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.” Hebrews 3:12-15

“For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. 35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.” Hebrews 10:34-39

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9

Be not deceived: You cannot sustain a life with Christ without daily fellowship with Him!

“In your patience possess ye your souls.” Luke 21:19

“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” Matthew 10:22

So many today who claim Christ view salvation as something they did in the past and not a present relationship with Christ on His stated terms (John 15; Titus 1:16).

Okay so think about the last time you heard this passage read in a “church” gathering. Well, have you ever heard it read? These are the warning words of the very and soon coming LORD and Savior.

“All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 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 24:10-13

“And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.” Mark 4:15-19

The Opening of Our Understanding [podcast]

“WHEN IT (the heart) SHALL TURN TO THE LORD, THE VAIL SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY” How the veil that blinds us, that hinders our understanding, is removed. “But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 16 Nevertheless when it (the heart) shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. 17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same […]

“This Hope” of Christ’s Return [podcast]

The Hope of Nations [podcast] Jesus Is Coming – Ready or Not “Even so, come, LORD Jesus” (Revelation 22:20). Psalm 2 is the real PEACE plan when the one and only “Prince of peace” arrives to destroy all the kingdoms of the antichrist and to crush in judgment the antichrist’s rebels who have refused His exclusive, blessed offer of salvation (Isaiah 9:6-7; Revelation 19:11-15).

Returning to Christ as Our "First Love" [podcast]

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3 The LORD is a “Jealous” God. “For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:” Exodus 34:14 If Jesus Christ is not genuinely the first love of our hearts, our lives, we are committing spiritual adultery on the Son of God. “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two […]

Heaven’s Nourishment! [podcast]

Nourished Up and Enduring to the End [podcast] Just How and When is Heaven’s “Nourishment Ministered” to Christ’s Body? “If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6 The GOAL and aim of most messages today heard coming from “Christian” leaders does not have Christ as it’s Grand Subject. This makes it more than obvious that God’s Word is not being preached and that the numerous prophetic warnings from Christ and His […]
