The Fear of the LORD is to Hate Evil: Pride, and Arrogancy #shorts [video]

Many false ways are being presented to us today, all in the name of the LORD Himself.

We must go with Christ, not the crowd.

“For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10

Departing from the Organized Church – Not Christ, nor His True Remnant!

In this late hour, God is calling His people to “Come out of her my people” – that is, religious Babylon (Revelation 18:4-5). Such is necessary in order not to be swept away in the tidal wave of deception – “strong delusion” caused by a rejection of the written Word of God (2 Thessalonians 2; Hosea 4:6).

“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;” 1 Timothy 4:1

Notice in the above prophetic word, nothing is mentioned concerning departing from the pulpit or departing from professing to be a Christian. Only a departure from the faith – that is, the faith of the original Gospel on record in the Holy Scriptures.

All who claim to love the LORD, who is the truth, and yet don’t “hate every false way” clearly prove their “love” for Christ is shallow at best.

“Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and THEY HAVE NOT DISCOVERED (uncovered, exposed) thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity (bondage); but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.” Lamentation 2:14

This is why so many who are good church members are still living in sin. They are sitting under wolves who pose as representatives of Christ yet don’t expose and call them out.

People are falling for the obvious hoaxes like flies and it’s all because, in their personal lives, they have refused to be ever more deeply rooted and grounded in God’s Word, in a daily cross walk with Jesus. They denied Christ His rightful place and reign in their lives, and instead have pursued the things of this fleeting world (Luke 19:27).

So Satan is now beginning to come down with great wrath because he knows his time is short (Revelation 12:12). He is coming along with all these fake revivals, and misleading movies and the counterfeits jump at them like kids taking candy from a kidnapper. They have rejected Jesus in their daily lives and have been sent “strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12).

You say you love praise and worship? Yet do you love God? If so, you will be devouring HIS words, first and foremost. This is how you seek Him – in His Word and in private prayer. Is Jesus Christ truly the object of your worship? Or, do you simply like how YOU feel when you praise and worship? If so, what does that reveal? Is the fruit of the Holy Spirit being produced in the revival seekers? No.

“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” Psalms 119:165

Deep peace and all the bless-ed fruit of the Spirit germinate and grow healthfully in the lives all who are truly His, and ingest His Word perpetually. His “Great peace” is reserved exclusively for those who truly love God and therefore love His Word. Those who truly love God go straight to God – to His Word. They live in it. It’s their life! Read Psalms 1.

“I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

Christ’s true remnant is engrossed in His Word and therefore not tricked or fooled into looking to a movie, a ministry, or a movement to get their view of God.

“I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.” Psalms 119:162

ALL the praise and worship in the world won’t fill your heart with divine truth. Such an idea is a “false way” and to be hated or far less prioritized than getting God’s Word inside of you. Bible reading is irreplaceable. You eat or you live hungry, famished, confused, un-fueled, deceived. In fact, your singing to the LORD will never be rich unto you of the revelation of WHO He is by filling your heart and mind daily with HIS Word. King James Bible, devour it daily!

All we have is fake religion without a heart after the LORD like beloved David (Acts 13:22).

IF you yearn for “praise and worship” and aren’t in God’s Word, devouring it daily – you are on a collision course with hell.

“This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” Matthew 15:8-9

Let’s cease making claims when there’s no evidence of the delusions we believe. Stop it. JUST because YOU want something to be true, DOES NOT make it true. Repent.

The recent revelations, manifestations, the coming to light of the delusions of Satan coming steadily down the pike has brought the truth-loving remnant into the light. And also those who are counterfeits, who live by their own uncirumcized hearts, wicked imaginations, and feelings. The separation, the distinction between the wheat and tares, the sheep and goats, is becoming increasingly obvious.

It’s simple, those who love God truly are searching out, studying, and holding to His holy truth. They alone are protected. Memorize this truth beloved of God. These exact words from our LORD WILL be instrumental in leading you safely to the eternal home He’s preparing for us!

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

Some among us still think these fake “revivals,” “Jesus” movies, etc., are a “move of God” when the name of Jesus is hardly ever mentioned and His Word is never opened. God is calling you to repent and be saved.

Notice they are exalting and deifying revival, not Christ. The Bible foretold there’d be a great falling away before Jesus returns, not a great revival (2 Thessalonians 2). Only those who don’t love Jesus enough to read His WORD for themselves are being sucked into this, and the cost is their very eternal soul for rejecting Christ (Luke 19:27).

“They are elevating revival above the name of all names. It’s become so obvious this is not about Christ.” Khrista

WHEN we truly love God we love His truth, and we “HATE every false way.” It seems apparent from the following verses of Holy Scripture that the more we seek our LORD and He instills in our innermost man the love for His truth and His holy fear, to that degree we will increasingly “HATE every false way.”

“Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I HATE every false way.” Psalms 119:104

“Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I HATE every false way.” Psalms 119:128

Those who hate lies prove it by being daily established in divine truth and therefore do no hearken to lies, deceptions, the schemes of the evil one. They are “not ignorant of his devices” (2 Corinthians 2:11).

Not only WHAT we say but also HOW we say or convey it, may God bless each of His children to speak His truth with grace from a heart purified by Him, in Jesus’ Name, amen.

“But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” Ephesians 4:15

“Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” Colossians 4:6

Dangled Dollars Draw Deceived Covetous Men

“But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” 1 Timothy 6:6-10

“Amen. The world’s pleasures are wantonly pursued by too many believers who will only reap what they sow. Reaping only sorrows and disappointments, not the fruits of the Spirit.” Barbara

“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24

Men rich in this world honor gold not God. Their end shall be eternal damnation. See 2 Peter 2:1-3 and the “damnation” of the rich “false prophets” and “false teachers.”

“He (the rich man) shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.” Psalms 49:19

Read Psalm 49 and 37.

The pull of the world, the pull of power via money – the power to do, to go, to purchase – becomes the death pit many fall into – never to escape.

“…no…covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.” Ephesians 5:5-7

This is outside and inside the professing church. This is what we see at the roots of all these delusions, these schemes to deceive the elect via mass promotions and productions such as “Bible” or “Jesus” movies, movements, revivals, and commercial campaigns.

Few if any will make it through the commercialized religious industry where big money circulates and big devils inhabit and control. The junkyard of fallen preachers that have littered the landscape is mountainous. Truth tellers, men who fear God are turned away from participating in the greed-driven religion circus.

Some years ago I was invited to do a weekly TV ministry program at a prime time slot. I did that program for two years, preaching God’s Word, shaking hands and interacting with many who were celebrity TV personalities. God was merciful to control the direction of this, His life. Perhaps it was my lack of talent to draw in the dollars, but whatever it was, He’s been merciful to us, amen saints!

Lazy people, people who are lazy toward God instead of diligent, want someone else to tell them about God instead of repenting and seeking God for themselves in His own Word. They want the mere man preacher, the movie, the story teller, the program, the campaign to tell them about “God.” Satan is allowed to play them all the way into hell. God only rewards those who “diligently seek him” and those who don’t “diligently seek Him” for themselves are rebels (Hebrews 11:6). Satan accommodates counterfeits like this and 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 plays out.

“This is, I’d say, one of the largest issues ebbing away at gospel solidarity, that we are up against today. Today’s gospel mindset has included heroes, celebrities, and influencers, which are praised beyond the point of known, but ignored Bible doctrine perversions. Because they have a large platform or maybe even a smaller platform, but have a ‘tickle the ears’ gospel, one that is ‘all new,’ and people continue to flock after them. You know the the Bible addresses this spirit, right?

‘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; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.’ ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ KJV‬‬

“This shallow minded lack-of-depth-of-God’s-word ‘Christian person’ seeks out a feel good spirit, a seducing one, right? It is a seductive teaching they go after, one that turns them on, so to speak, toward the false devilish doctrine. It’s new, fresh, influential, informative, and something that’s non-offensive to the surrounding culture. However, it is full of the devil! The warning is:

‘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 ‭4‬:‭16‬ ‭KJV”‬‬ Stacy Strother

Though it will have its ultimate fulfillment with or in “that man of sin,” the antichrist, the following scenario has been in operation as long as mankind has been on earth (2 Thessalonians 2:3). Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel are prime examples of how this truth played out. Ensuing biblical history records the same.

“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

The LORD allows all who “received not the love of the truth” to be sent “strong delusion that they should believe a lie” so that “they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” Like it or not, God takes it personal when people call Him a liar by not believing what He stated.

SO, you are going to argue to defend the idea that you have a “good church” and yet you are not in God’s Word daily for yourself and have no conviction to be? Boom. Apostasy! 100%. You are sitting under wolves who are not “valiant for the truth” of God, have no conviction of sin, and use fake “bibles” (Jeremiah 9:3). This is the fruit of the false church in America. Run for your life, now.

“There’s nothing new under the Sun. There were many antichrists in the days before the flood. There were many antichrists before Nimrod built the Tower of Babel. There were many antichrists among God’s people after they were delivered from Egypt, and the Red Sea opened for them and destroyed Egypt’s army of antichrists. They proclaimed a feast day “TO THE LORD” but sacrificed to Baal as they “sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.” I’m sure that’s putting it VERY MILDLY! I believe they had an orgy and listened to proud, rebellious, demonic music. They may have sacrificed children in fire. Whatever it was, beside worshipping the golden calf, they were worthy of death for doing it. It was NO LIGHT THING. It was done by the SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST.” Alan Ray

CBN and TBN are massive bought and conquered Vatican operations and so massive monies are there, and used to deceive the professing believers in America via this network. Jesus warned:

“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…. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” Matthew 24:11-13, 22

Alan Ray writes:

“No lie is of the truth, as is no liar. All liars and unrepentant sodomites will have their part in the lake of fire. Many are glorying in a travesty of a shameful hell-bound sinner, who called Jesus “Lord, Lord,” who drew nigh to God with his mouth, and honored him with his lips. His fruit shows his heart was far from God, but the deceived who don’t fear God want you to believe otherwise. There is financial incentive behind deceiving the masses into accepting the sodomite lifestyle. LGBT pastors would not be allowed to operate or even partake of communion in a truly godly, obedient, God-fearing assembly.”

“We must have a burning desire to diligently seek the Lord through his word and study to find ourselves approved by God. There are no shortcuts. It doesn’t happen by osmosis..going to church, listening to Christian music or watching movies/ TV shows or other sources of entertainment.” Barbara

“Joyce Meyer and Greg Laurie are definitely an Eastern Star and Mason, NOT true Christians. Billy Graham was also a 33 degree Freemason. The church today is apostate – due to people thinking they are learning about God and Jesus from apostate (satanists, actually) pastors. Do the research and you’ll discover all I typed is true.” Cynthia

“Sadly, this describes most of the ‘Christians’ that I know. They say they love the Lord, but instead they follow ear ticklers, modern day pharisees that are making them twice the sons of hell as they themselves are. (Matt 23:15). They think they are witnessing by posting things like Kelly’s Treehouse posts and Charles Spurgeon quotes instead of Scripture. You can find them gushing on about the ‘Jesus Revolution’ and how wonderful Johnathan Roumie and Greg Laurie are instead of telling about Jesus. You can find them with the name of their favorite celebrity preacher’s name on their so-called bibles (i.e. Joyce Meyer Study Bible). Everything they know is from the accursed, according to Gal 1:8-9 and they refuse to listen to truth, thinking that THEY know the truth. They cannot see that they are riding on the tsunami of apostasy and need to repent. It’s heartbreaking to see and all we can do is pray that they will come out from among her and learn to search the Scriptures for themselves.” Jeannie

Victory Over “Evil Concupiscence” and Every Sexual Sin [podcast]

“Flee fornication”

“Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:15-20

“Concupiscence” appears 3 times in God’s Word and speaking of having a secret desire for that which is forbidden, namely in sexual lust.

“But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.” Romans 7:8

“Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:” Colossians 3:5

“Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:” 1 Thessalonians 4:5

Revelation 19:7-9

“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.”

Colossians 3:1-6

“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:”

Memorize Colossians 3:3

“Submerge yourself deeper and deeper into Jesus until you sink out of sight.”!! Unknown

1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

“Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. 2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. 8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.”

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23

Read Psalms 51 and Romans 6 each morning.

PRAYER: Holy Father, please forgive my many sins. Please touch this vessel all the way to the core of who You made me to be. Do Your work in this life You gave. Please unite my heart to fear Thy name and purify this heart O LORD. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. 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

Exhorting God’s People “Daily”

“But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3:13

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

“Feed my sheep”

“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.” John 21:15-17

Simplicity in Fellowship

“And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” Acts 2:42

They “continued steadfastly in …

“the apostles doctrines”
“fellowship”
“breaking bread”
“prayers”

“Great podcast. Thank you. As I was listening I was thinking about all the many churches we have attended through the years. And the one thing missing was love for Jesus. Everything was robotic. Hands raised in singing but no hearts raised. All scripted. You follow the script then go home. No honesty about their lives! All fake. Nothing more than a religious gathering. The disciples of old turned the world upside down because of their love for their Savior! They were willing to die for Him and they did! All these fake Christians do is wear outward religious garb and somehow think Jesus doesn’t know – as in Matthew 23. How refreshing it is to be around people who love the Lord with all their heart, soul, and mind! (Mat 22:37). Even if it is mostly online and as they live their daily lives. At least it is all about Jesus and not self! And I want to be with people who are Christ-centered not self-centered!” Karen Cochran

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, please do Your work in this vessel that is Yours. Help me to love You more and to live to serve others as You did LORD Jesus. Make me holy as You are holy. Let this life be crucified and raised up by You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

No. Read John 15:1-16 and you will see that Jesus alone can choose, call, prepare, and ordain a […]

Fruitfulness is Found in Abiding in Christ [podcast]

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

Jesus is the True Vine

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide 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. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:1-7

“The understanding is, if I am truly abiding in Christ (the Vine, my first love) then the fruit will come from Him, and not from me—of my own making—but through me. Again, it’s relationship with Christ that is the root of the matter, and not just outwardly keeping a list of rules (living under the law).

‘Abiding fruitfulness’—so loaded with meaning!

1. for your own state of abiding in Christ
2. for the fruit that is brought forth because you are abiding in Christ (the Vine) Who gives life to and bears the fruit
3. that the fruit itself (fruit of the Spirit, souls of men and all good works that are born of the Spirit) will abide (remain) and flourish in God’s kingdom on earth and in eternity.” Debbie L.

IF JESUS is purging you, rejoice—because that means He’s born good fruit in your life and wants to bring forth more! Boom.

“Every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.” John 15:2

*Read that again.

IF you are not a DOER of God’s Word, it proves you are not saved and are a lukewarm hell bound rebel. Repent now and bring forth fruit to prove it (Matthew 3:7-10; 7:21; Titus 1:16; 1 John 2:4; Revelation 2:26, etc.).

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:22

HOW DID JESUS tell us to know/discern ourselves and others?

The FRUIT of our lives (Matthew 7:16,20).

The root determines the fruit.

Are you rooted in Christ?

Our works are the good fruit born out of Christ’s salvation and present work in our lives. Those good works do not save us but are a mere outworking of His great salvation in us.

FRUIT vs GIFTS

There are lots of people bragging about their GIFTS which alone tells you they are not in Christ who taught that the greatest among us will be the SERVANT of all—the FRUIT of God’s love in the true remnant disciple (Matthew 20:24-28; 23:8-12).

Gospel Hint: God is interested in a real relationship with those who choose Him. That relationship will always bear good fruit. FRUIT is the crop of an abiding relationship with Jesus which is the stated reason that God the Father sent His only begotten Son (John 15:1-16; 17:3). Anyone can operate in or even fake gifts. Gifts are glitter. Fruit is foundation! The root determines the fruit. What fruit is being born, produced in your life? Are you asking God to make you one with Him? Read John 17.

In the divine economy, FRUIT is much more important than GIFT because good FRUIT can only come out of relationship.

GOD is interested in FRUIT that only comes from a ROOTED abiding relationship! See Matthew 3:7-10; John 15, etc. Jesus foretold that on Judgment Day “MANY” will call out to Him with “Lord, Lord” as they boast of the GIFTS they operated in. “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:19-23).

Taking up the cross, suffering the death of self, is not earning us salvation… it’s simply rendering worship-filled “obedience to the faith” (Romans 1:5) – faith in the ONE who bled on that cross to earn salvation for us, all by Himself!

A Living Sacrifice unto God [podcast]

The burnt offering means a complete consumption. What did God illustrate to us when He required His people under the Old Covenant to offer burnt offering sacrifices? His coming Messiah’s perfect sacrifice for the sins of mankind. The ordained way He requires that His people serve Him. Jesus was the ultimate burnt offering. He gave all of Himself freely in obedience to His Father and to redeem mankind. “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” Romans 12:1 In His […]

Misleading vs Grounding Voices in Our Midst [podcast]

WHO are you really listening to and following? Do you realize that the Bible foretold that “many” would be deceived by false leaders in the final days? (Matthew 7:15; 24:11, etc.) How can we know we are truly one with Christ and following Him, and not being misled?
