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: 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
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; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 3 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 (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. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He 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. 24 And 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.
“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.

The Danger of Joining a Modern Church [podcast]

Fruit. Fruit. Fruit.
“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.” Matthew 12:33
Speaking of the pattern of one’s life, Jesus taught that a good tree cannot bear bad fruit. A bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know (discern) them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:15-20
Jesus commanded His people to “know” which is to discern all “by their fruits”—to be fruit inspectors—first in their own lives and then in all others (1 Corinthians 11:31-32; 2 Corinthians 13:5).
Personally, I fail to find anywhere that Jesus or His apostles instructed any saints to “go find a local church and plug in.” Hebrews 10:25 is peddled by pastors today who seek a loyal following instead of seeking to fulfill their God-given duties to establish their hearers in the faith, to ground them in God’s Word, to equip them for the work of the ministry, etc.
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25
Read that again please. Does it say to find a church? No. Those who are born again ARE already God’s “church” which simply means His called out people. More biblically, should we not simply be His church—His people, daily? This seems to be the pattern we see among the earliest followers of Jesus (Acts 2:42-47; 5:42; Colossians 3:16, etc.).
The authentic remnant elect of Christ do not patronize or bid Godspeed to false leaders (2 John 9-11; Revelation 2:2).
Refusing to sit under, condone, bid Godspeed to the false gospel, false doctrines, false teachers and wolves of the modern church … is not forsaking the assembly! Instead, it’s obedience to God who mandates that we “mark them,” that we “earnestly contend” against them, and warns us that anyone who bids Godspeed to them will be punished with them (Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3; 2 John 10-11).
If you are prone to cite Hebrews 10:25 to advocate for going to church weekly, consider where you learned that. In churches, right? Funny you probably don’t even have 10 Bible verses memorized and yet, to the benefit of the pastor, you know that one. What does this tell us? What does this reveal? What’s wrong with this picture?
What happens when people get loyal to a local church especially in this late hour where great apostasy was foretold? Here are a few obvious things that happen when someone “joins a church.”
- Most people who join churches today are not even born again, are not told they must repent and believe on Jesus to be born again. They become proud of their pastor and friends at that gathering (Zechariah 11:17).
- Church members are not learning the Word of God itself because they are simply being led by a wolf who is fostering their allegiance toward himself, not Christ (Colossians 2:8-10, 18-19; 3:1-4).
- They are not becoming soul winners (Proverbs 11:30; Luke 19:10).
- Attenders of modern churches are seldom if ever taught, established with personal knowledge of the Scriptures, the paramount truth that God’s Word itself is the final divine authority on all matters of the Christian faith and the practice of it (Deuteronomy 4:10; Psalms 119; 138:2; Isaiah 40:8; Mark 13:31; John 10:35; Romans 3:4; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21).
- The Bible message, warning to “love not the world” is seldom or never heard. Those who live worldly are separated from God (James 4:4; 1 John 2:15-17).
- Fake pastor do not teach people to get into God’s Word for themselves and so church attenders today are not in the Word daily for themselves which is by satanic design and therefore have no biblical foundation (Psalms 11:3; Matthew 7:19-29; 2 Timothy 2:15).
- When do we hear in modern churches that Jesus Christ is the Grand Subject of all of Holy Scripture? We don’t (Psalms 40:7-8; Luke 24:25-27, 44-46; John 5:39-40; 2 Peter 1:19-21).
- They are never taught the value God places upon good works in those He saves by His grace (Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 1:16; 3:8; 1 John 2:4).
- The Great Commission Jesus gave to His people is never mentioned and when it is, they’ve turned it into just another way of promoting themselves, their own brand, ministry (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 24:47; Book of Acts).
- They are not being equipped “for the work of the ministry” which is the duty being carried out by every authentic overseer of Christ’s church (Ephesians 4:11-12; 1 Peter 5:1-6).
- Never taught in the modern churches is the fact that God holds each person He saves personally responsible, personally accountable for following Jesus daily (Deuteronomy 24:16; Joshua 24:14-15; Luke 21:34-36; 2 Timothy 2:15; Hebrews 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39; 12:14; Revelation 2-3, etc.).
- Modern day church members are not in the Word for themselves and the pastors have led them to this biblical illiteracy because they are building a church busine$$ and dumb people are easy prey/targets to rob (Isaiah 9:16; 56:8-12; Jeremiah 23; Ezekiel 34; Matthew 23; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; 2 Timothy 4:2-4, etc.).
- Church goers are barely or never heard the essential cross message which Jesus requires to follow Him (Matthew 16:24-25; Luke 9:23-24; Romans 6; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; Colossians 3:3, etc.).
- They are never warned of going to hell if they die in sin (Ezekiel 33:12-13; Matthew 10:22; 24:13; Hebrews 3:6; 10:26-39; Revelation 21:8, 27).
- They are never taught that God is “Holy, holy, holy” and that He requires that those who are His be holy as He is holy (Isaiah 6:3; 1 Peter 1:15-16; Revelation 4:8).
- Those who attend a church are never informed that only those who overcome sin and Satan will be with Jesus eternally which is exactly what Christ told each and every one of the seven churches of Asia minor (Revelation 2-3).
- They are never taught that saving grace without exception results in the saved living according to the Scripture: “Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; (Titus 2:11-12).
- Members are taught the demonic lie of eternal security/once saved always saved , which is Satan’s first teaching and irrefutably led to the fall of mankind in the Garden (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).
- The mountains of warnings in Scripture are intentionally hidden from the congregational dupes who are willingly biblically ignorant, having rejected the knowledge/Word of God (Ezekiel 3:7; Hosea 4:6; 2 Corinthians 5:11; Colossians 1:28; Jude 3-4, etc.).
- Most church members are not taught that only those who remain in Christ after being saved will be with Him eternally (Matthew 25:1-13; John 15:6; Romans 11:20-22, etc.).
- Modern church attenders are seldom if ever warned to come out from this sinful world in the way they live (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1).
- They are lukewarm which means hell bound if they don’t repent (Luke 3:15-16).
- The original Gospel essential, the command to “repent” is never heard, even though it was the very first word spoken by John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostle Peter in their ministries (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30).
- Modern church members are merely a participant of a “Christian” social club seen nowhere in Scripture (Cp. Acts 2:42-47).
- Their loyalty and allegiance is toward the pastor, singing group, and fellow congregants (Proverbs 21:16).
- They are never taken through the volumes of Holy Scripture where God judged His very own people who backslid (Numbers 16; 25; Romans 11:20-22; 1 Corinthians 10:1-12; Hebrews 3-4; Jude 1).
- Church members are taught to become dependent on their church affiliation, connection, and attendance and not the LORD (Matthew 15:8).
- They are not daily seeking the face of the LORD (1 Chronicles 16:11; Psalms 27:4, 8; 57:7; 63:8; Matthew 6:33; Luke 9:23-24).
- Seminarian led church members are seldom if ever taught that for eternal glory with Him Jesus requires the decisive cutting off of the hand and plucking out of the eye of any sin that defiles them in the eyes of a holy God (Mark 9:43-49).
- When the Bible is literally read, 99% of the time it’s from a vatican corrupted fake “bible.”
- Most are barely if at all different from any lost soul around them in their daily life (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).
- Due to their own refusal to truly repent and walk with Jesus daily, they were sent strong delusion, are in darkness and deception, and therefore “remain in the congregation of the dead” (Proverbs 21:16).
“God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.” Psalms 89:7

The words “leader” and “leaders” appear 6 times (total) in God’s Word. It is always to be in context of servant leading (Matthew 20:20-28; 23:8-12; 1 Peter 5:1-6). In the following and most popular times “leaders” is used, it’s in the negative, as in false “leaders.”
“For the LEADERS of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” Isaiah 9:16
“Let them alone: they be blind LEADERS of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” Matthew 15:14
They love their darkness rather than the light of His truth and therefore craft, they erect the image of a false god in their wicked unrepentant hearts.
“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
“Jeremiah 7. The people were wicked and evil, placing their trust in the temple, instead of God, and believing their religious activities would be pleasing to the Lord. But they were committing all kinds of sins, deluding themselves into thinking that they were secure. God said, I will cast you out of my sight! And instructed Jeremiah not to pray for them. They refused to obey the Lord God nor receive correction, and the truth had perished, so God said, I will cut them off from my mouth! Wow! Isn’t this exactly what we are seeing in this late hour? There comes a time when the Lord has had enough and cuts them off! And judgment falls upon those who don’t want the truth.” Karen Cochran

Christ’s Non-Negotiable Original Gospel Imperative [podcast]

“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Matthew 12:30
It’s one thing to claim we are with Christ and He with us, and it’s another thing to prove we are with the Savior by adhering to His words. Jesus told us that those who are “of God” hear and obey His words (John 8:47).
If one chooses not to love Jesus enough to obey His stated terms, such a man has rejected the Son of God for the love of sinful self and will perish in his own corruption (Matthew 22:37-40; Luke 9:23-24; 14:33; 17:33; John 14:15; 1 John 2:3-6, etc.).
“Repentance is to TAKE SIDES with God against yourself. It is a CHANGE of attitude toward SELF, toward SIN, toward GOD, toward CHRIST that is so REAL that it RESULTS in a changed life. It is raising the WHITE FLAG in SURRENDER to God and turning to Christ as your only LORD and Savior. Repentance is NOT a work … works are the fruit of repentance (Ephesians 2:8-10).” Trent Austin
Only the counterfeit will get upset at this Gospel message because such a rebel wants nothing to do with taking personal responsibility for his sin, the denial of self, the crucified life to be set apart, holy, and having the Savior reign!
Notice how Jesus knits the denial of self, the daily cross, the putting off the deeds of the body, of keeping under the body (the iniquitous fallen nature) with the destiny of the eternal soul.
“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” Luke 9:23-25
Jesus made it clear here that the cross is an original Gospel essential, an absolute imperative to eternal glory with Him!
Each of us proves exactly who we love the most by the way we are living! – God or self!
Everything that is happening in your life now is being allowed by God in order to get you down low into the death and burial with Christ. Read 2 Corinthians 4.
“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:7-12

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.
