“Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.” 1 Corinthians 1:10

No, not unity at the expense of truth ….. Yet, unity among His true remnant saints based on the foundation of salvation in Christ alone according to the whole of His written Word (John 8:47; 2 Timothy 3:16-17, etc.).

The ecumenical cry, goal, via all these heretical movies and revivals, is a plan to deceive – to keep captive souls in religious Babylon where the LORD has commanded us to “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” (Revelation 18:4-5). This is the cry for “unity” and yet truth is never mentioned. How does Holy Scripture address this?

False prophets speak about love and unity – yet it’s never verbalized by them that the only unity the body of Christ has is with those who rest and live out and hold to the final divine authority of God’s written Word. All other unity is false, fleshly unity. True servants of the LORD speak about Jesus Christ and His redemption, the blood of Jesus, holiness, the cross, judgment, sin, repentance, being ready for the return of Christ, and truth. Beware.

“The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the TRUTH. 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the TRUTH that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the TRUTH. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in TRUTH.” 3 John 1-4

In His prayer to the Father, Jesus makes it clear that His Word, the exclusive island of His truth, is where His saints are sanctified – where they are set apart as His special, only bride. All others are outside of His kingdom.

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

The primary way God leads His New Testament body is by His written Word. His true disciples have no unity with those who are not born again AND presently abiding, walking by and in the record of Holy Scripture (Psalms 119:105; John 10:35; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:3-4; 12-21, etc.).

Memory truth:

“Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:3 

The sword of divine truth, Word of God, divides people into two groups – 1. Those who repent, believe, and obey it and, 2. Those who refuse to repent and believe and therefore reject God’s offer of salvation in Christ alone (Matthew 10:34). safeguardyoursoul.com

The LORD grants us discernment to “know” (discern) who His body is and who isn’t a true disciple – “by their fruits.” (Matt 7:16, 20)

I’ve witnessed firsthand God’s restoration grace in my own life many times – being restore by God to Himself, as well as how He’s restored relationships among His people – which is His stated will to do.

Saints, what does Psalms 133 say? Where is our faith? Are we getting bitter or better?

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.” Psalms 133:1-3

Did the LORD not restore the fornicator – to Himself and His body? Yes. 1 Corinthians 5; 2 Corinthians 2.

Did Jesus not teach the restoration of the prodigals? Luke 15

1 Corinthians 12-13 and Ephesians 4 are key chapters pertaining to the body of Christ.

If so why did the Holy Spirit tell us through Paul to “Endeavor(ing) to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace”? (Ephesians 4:3) <<memory verse.

“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27

From Schism to Unity

Jesus told us there would be division.

“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” Matthew 10:34

Division is a blessing when it divides true believers from “false brethren.” (2 Corinthians 11:26; Galatians 2:4)

Unbiblical division is sin (Romans 16:17-18). Yet parting from those who refuse to repent and walk in divine love and truth are to be marked (John 8:47).

“No Schism” is the desire of our LORD:

“That there should be no schism (gap, division, rent) in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.” 1 Corinthians 12:25

How about how Paul and Barnabas were in strong disagreement concerning John Mark who was later restored to the ministry?

The Temporary Strife Between Paul and Barnabas

“And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark. 38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work. 39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus; 40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.” Acts 15:37-40 

The Restoration

Paul speaks of Barnabas in a positive ministerial light in every additional reference to Barabbas in the New Testament Scriptures. Of John Mark, Paul later wrote:

“Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.” 2 Timothy 4:11 

Reconciliation requires humility. Reading Romans 12:14-21 every morning this week will greatly bless your life in Christ.

Are we not one body in Christ?

The oneness of God’s love among His people is a witness to the world around us….

“I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.” John 17:23

Reading Jesus’ prayer to the Father recorded in John 17 is paramount to understanding the larger plan of God and the scope of vertical and then horizontal relationship.

“The word of reconciliation” 2 Corinthians 5:19

Are You Bless-able? English and Spanish [podcast]


Who is Going to be “Blessed”?

“A FAITHFUL MAN shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” Proverbs 28:20

Like it or not, God has conditions to appropriate His blessings. Rebels hate this reality because they despise personal accountability, personal responsibility. Their rebellion changes nothing. Either repent, be saved, and walk humbly with Christ, or lose your soul for eternity in hell (Mark 8:34-38).

True followers of Jesus are doing the work of the Gospel, are diligent, are “not slothful,” and “inherit” “the promises” of God “through faith and patience.”

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:10-12

In the New Testament, we don’t ever see disciples of Christ spending all kinds of time singing praise songs, numbing themselves out, etc. No, when the Holy Spirit truly fills a believer, it’s to be a witness of Christ and that person is sent out.

Jesus dwells large only in those who practically obey Him and not those just trying to get an emotional fix by soaking in a building in a “revival.”

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15

Are We Bless-able?

“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35

Have you given God your life?

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

Mexico Mission Momentum Part 41

The first shipment of Spanish Bibles has arrived!!!


A staggering miracle has befallen Maria’s precious life and she still can’t believe it!

ALL because YOU have said “YES JESUS, I am going to lift this beloved sister in Christ, this laborer for our LORD in prayer…. and you are giving to help her!

You my friend are guilty of delivering glory to God and a death blow to the enemy of all souls!

We are now finding out that Maria works and 3 different locations each day. This is how she is able to distribute hundreds of JESUS tracts daily.

When Jesus says “I will build my church” He was not speaking about collecting money to build physical buildings. That came in with the pagan catholic church hundreds of years later. No, Jesus was speaking of building His kingdom in the hearts of men, beginning with the revelation that He is the Messiah (Matthew 16:18).

If the money you give isn’t going directly into the Great Commission Jesus gave us, you are wasting your giving (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20).

Building up Gospel laboring fruit-filled diligent disciples such as Juan and Maria, is building Christ’s church! Oil the wheels that roll!

“The blessed word says that freely we receive, freely we give. For from His fullness we all receive grace upon grace, blessing upon blessing, brother. So Paul said, ‘Woe to me if I do not do it!’ Then we must do the Great Commission that God gave us for His honor and glory.” Juan

Juan and Maria are being continually tended to, supported with prayer etc.

Brother Mark went to spend some time with sister Maria for the first time and found out she needs a new cell phone. So, we bought her one……..

Maria is a widow and works 3 different “jobs” that are tips only. Her rental is $100 per month. She only told us this information because we asked her. Maybe someone would be prompted to begin paying sister Maria’s rent? God is able amen.

“That we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.”

We’ve been meeting with brother Juan and sister Maria regularly, sometimes daily.

“We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.” 3 John 8

Spiritually and supply wise, refreshing and re-stocking these disciples (and others) is our part, our opportunity and privilege. And you have been a big part of this saints. Your prayer and support have been and are vital.

Recently restocked brother Juan and brought Maria about 2k tracts last night

She was elated.

Your prayers and support are making this possible.

“I will never cease to be amazed by how hungry these people are for God! From all the pictures it looks like they begin to read the Jesus tract as soon as they receive it! In America, it’s very hard to find people who truly want Jesus because they are rich and in need of nothing and have no idea how wretched, miserable, poor, and blind they are. Rev 3:17. Including those so-called Christians! Who just try to put Jesus over their filthy rags! Nothing but dead religion. Yet they believe they are good and will be in heaven, when inside they are white-washed tombs. It’s refreshing to see the hunger of the beloved Mexico people! Thank you for sharing all these stories of how the Lord is touching hearts! Blessed to be a small part of this ministry.” Karen Cochran | Mission Mexico

Your prayers and support are going a long way to help Mission Mexico!!

The Bibles God’s people sent just arrived and will be distributed to incarcerated Mexicans soon.

The JESUS tract is being distributed daily by the hundreds with the Word of God spoken in those exchanges.

“WE are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.” Hebrews 6:10

Please allow me to remind you … that your prayers and financial fuel are essential to what is going on here and each of Christ’s disciples shall be rewarded equally, fully—no matter what part they play! 1 Samuel 30:24

Recently I became desperate as the need for financial supply dropped like a bless-ed bomb within a short window of time. Instead of trusting I panicked instead of taking it to the LORD and trusting Him. The reception of Juan and Maria has been earth shaking, a type of sign from God that He loves and desires to save the bless-ed and beautiful people of Mexico. America has rejected the LORD saints.

“And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.” Matthew 10:14

Can you even believe that our LORD is using us, you and I and others, to give His glorious Gospel to the nation, the people of Mexico?!

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14  How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” Romans 10:13-14


The Gospel momentum continues to grow:

From brother Juan:  “Brother Cresenciano asked me if I had any Jesus pamphlets he could take with him and hand out, and said he wanted to serve his neighbor with love. Glory to God!”

Over 20,000 JESUS tracts in print here in Mexico. More than 12,000 have been distributed to date. We are now beginning to take in love offerings to print the next 10,000 JESUS tracts.

Okay, from now on, if you see a pic of someone holding a stash or stack of JESUS tracts, it’s because they agreed to do so, they asked for more tracts in order to reach their world here in Mexico with the Gospel of Jesus. Gospel momentum!

Brother Juan and sister Maria and several others in Christ are blazing a Gospel trail (Mark 1:45). Jesus is coming.

Thank you for lifting Mission Mexico, the people of Mexico, in prayer.

Mission Mexico


Thank you for praying for Mission Mexico.



Your prayers and support are fueling the reaching of scores of precious Mexican people, daily!

You have the same reward as the foot soldiers….

1 Samuel 30:24

“Cursed be the Man that Trusteth in Man” [podcast]


A Nuclear Revelation

“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.” Jeremiah 17:5

“Cursed be the man that trusteth in man” is a powerful verse from the Bible, commonly associated with a specific warning against relying on human strength rather than God.”

So many act like Spurgeon or some other mere man’s writings are on the same level as Holy Scripture. NOT! They prove their idolatry. They are in sin. They glory in mere men and not the LORD! Hell awaits. Jeremiah 17:5; Isaiah 2:22; 1 Corinthians 1:29-31, etc.

God calls us to worship, love, seek, trust, and obey Him as the ultimate authority of our lives in this world.

Another example of this is the idolatry of the demonic fraud CS Lewis!

CS LEWIS EXPOSED

THIS JUST IN:

“Amen! Amen for Prov 10:22. All glory be to Him!

By the grace of God I discovered last night your website, praise Him, in search for exposure on CS Lewis.

By the grace of God I learnt as a baby believer, 20 years ago, that his teachings are dangerous including that witchcraft book and movie, Narnia. Sadly, so called mature Christians in the UK are considering him a saint, a born again believer.

I sent prayerfully ( as I expected backlashes) to my friend last night, a few links exposing CS Lewis including the photo from your website which is brilliant exposure, praise Him but she is still claiming that he ” was truly a born again” ….. sending me his videos! It’s a principle: I don’t watch, read listen to CS Lewis and many others! The Bible is so rich in teachings, why do I need CS Lewis!? !?

My friend is a mature believer, born again believer for over 60-70 years and she cannot see it!

I had to use the VPN and duckduck search engine to get the website exposing CS Lewis, as in the UK, nothing will come up! Mostly of the Christians are bewitched by Narnia and Lord of the Rings! No wonder the country is in such a state of delusion! May the Lord have mercy!

Many blessings in His Name, V.”

CS LEWIS WAS A FRAUD – READ GOD’S WORD! REPENT AND GET IMPRESSED WITH THE LORD, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. IDOLATRY DAMNS!

“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:22

Those who look to men, who receive un-biblical counsel instead of testing it against the Word of God, are trusting in mere man and have brought a curse upon themselves (Jeremiah 17:5-6; Acts 17:10-11; 2 Timothy 3:16-17, etc.). Those who look anywhere except to the LORD Himself are idolaters, are committing spiritual adultery, and will without exception depart from Him and be lost (v. 5). Their names “shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters” (v. 13). The phrase “written in the earth” is in contrast to their names being “written in heaven” (Luke 10:20; Hebrews 12:23). Hell is in the bowels of the earth and that’s where every single person who is not looking wholly to the LORD will spend eternity (Revelation 20:11-15).

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” Proverbs 3:5-7
Trusting Man is seen in the lives of many who claim to be saved and yet trust man’s medicine and counsel wholesale.

Let me get this straight, you pretend to be saved and yet run to some foolish sinner to get drugged for lack of peace or ability to sleep or depression. You are completely deceived and God is calling you to repent now. If you knew Him, would you not be trusting Him and not sinful mere men? “Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD (Jeremiah 17:5).

Modern Sorcery Exposed

You’ve tried the CURSE and it never worked…. Are you ready to let CHRIST make you whole?

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert (spiritually dry, desolate), and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. 12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. 13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters. 14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.” Jeremiah 17:5-14

Psychology/psychobabble, therapy from mere men, sinners…. is a scam, and leaves the victim without hope. Jesus Christ is the only hope for man’s core dilemma—which is sin! ANY person pointing you to a “THE-RAPIST” is demon inspired. They speak against the Word of God and are the child of the devil! See Colossians 2:6-10. SINNERS need the Savior—not some sinner with an indoctrination in the fine of art of applying bandages, never getting to the root. Repent now (Jeremiah 17:9). Jesus alone can make a man whole! (Luke 4:18)

Man’s therapy and psychobabble are laughably insufficient and have never once gotten to the root issue of man’s dilemma which is sin. Jesus says that He “came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15).

Drugs and psychobabble are laughable mere band aids to rob unbelievers, gullible dupes of their money.

“Jesus Christ maketh thee whole”

Only One can make you whole—the One who made you and died and rose again for you.

“And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.” Acts 9:34

“Yep that’s me, the woman with the Alabaster box. And that is all I need—my alabaster box and Jesus! No need for meds or to be psycho-analyzed by some quack. One touch from Jesus is all I need! Just as the woman who touched the hem of His garment and was immediately healed! Luke 8: 43-48. One touch is all she needed.” Karen Cochran
