If We don’t want to Burn, We Must Discern [podcast]
“Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” Exodus 20:7
Beware of those who dare put the holy name of the LORD on their own thoughts, words, visions, dreams, or words they claim are from God.
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:15-16
False prophets are self-serving and full of pride and therefore hate to be questioned or tested, yet that’s exactly what Jesus instructed you to do. Test the fruit. Always ask: “Do you have something to hide?”
YOU are not obligated to believe anyone’s scenario, supposed intel, insight, or words based on them claiming to be watchmen. Self-proclaimed “watchmen” have deceived many. Putting that title on oneself can be a dangerous endeavor. The words “watchman” or “watchmen” appear no where in the New Testament canon.
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1
When someone says “the Lord showed me” this should be a red flag. Instead of tracking all things through the Word, they are attributing things to themselves which is highly subjective. Beware because once you are seduced and snared, once you buy into or bite on the idea that this person, this “watchman” is hearing from God, they have entrapped you.
“While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.” 2 Peter 2:19
When Jesus died and rose again from the dead He sent the Holy Ghost to dwell in EVERY born again saint He saves.
“But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.” 1 John 2:20
Being that the Holy Ghost is resident in every born again saint, you can “know all things” that concern your life in Christ by being led by the Holy Spirit and Word (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:12-21).
Now let’s read the context:
1 John 2
“But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you (the Word, the Gospel), which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”
No man should be allowed to so much as attempt to usurp the Headship of Christ in your personal life. Many have been ensnared by such nicolaitin witchcraft which Jesus says He hates (Revelation 2:6, 15). Nico – laitan = conquer the laity (people).

By His perfect sacrifice Jesus granted you the individual priesthood He grants to each and every one of His people (Hebrews 4:14-16, etc.). “Ye need NOT that ANY man teach you” (1 John 2:27). You are bought with the very price of Christ’s blood to be ultimately led by Him and not any other man. This requires the diligent daily study of His Word and a life of prayer (Matthew 26:41).
This doesn’t mean that there aren’t elders in the body of Christ or that every saint doesn’t need fellowship with other disciples of Christ. Yet you are His, you are Christ’s and HE alone is your Commander in Chief (Hebrews 2:10)! “Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men” (1 Corinthians 7:23).
“In whom (Jesus Christ) are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 And this I say, lest any man should BEGUILE you with enticing words. 5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST (not men). 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him (be led of Him, not mere men): 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 BEWARE LEST ANY MAN SPOIL (ruin, mislead) you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: … 18 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. … 1 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.” Colossians 2:4-10, 18-19; 3:1-3
Every born again and presently abiding blood-bought saint of Christ is led by the Word and the Holy Spirit, not some other mere human professing to be a “watchman.” Beware.
The primary way Jesus Christ leads His New Testament church, people, is not via watchmen but rather His written Word and Holy Ghost – via the cross, the crucified life (Romans 6; 8:11-14, etc.):
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalms 119:105
The voice, the will of God is given you in Holy Scripture and God will never contradict Himself (1 Corinthians 14:33).
ANY person pretending to be representing Christ, in ministry, who is NOT grounding their audience in the absolute necessity of personally studying God’s Word daily … is a false prophet. Take a look:
“Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. … 20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:16 20
To “Bind up,” to “seal” His “law (Word) among” His disciples, to MARK God’s Word, is to engrave it into their hearts and minds as their life, the highest divine authority, and the only way to know, follow, walk with, and eternally be with the LORD.
“For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath MARKED HIS WORD, and heard it?” Jeremiah 23:18
“Let God be true and every man a liar.” Romans 3:4
“Romans 3:4. According to this verse, every man is a liar. God is the only one who is faithful and true. His word stands forever (Isaiah 40:8). We should always believe God and not man. And be Bereans checking everything against the word of God. Acts 17:11.” Karen Cochran
“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Acts 17:10-11

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14
According to Deuteronomy 13:1-10, even if a man predicts, prophecies, or dreams something that actually comes to pass, that person is not to be trusted but GOD alone is to be trusted so that if after that accurate prophesy they teach something that contradicts God’s Word they are to “be put to death” (v. 5).
“Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.” Deuteronomy 13:4
1 Kings 13: Why was this Man of God later Eaten by a Lion?
Do you remember the story of the old prophet and the younger prophet and how the younger prophet was eaten by a lion for his disobedience? Read 1 Kings 13. Being led of another man, even a true prophet, instead of the LORD Himself, can and will result in spiritual death.
Remember we read in Colossians 2 the warning about “worshipping of angels” and the exhortation to uphold, to hold to Christ, the “Head” of our lives (Colossians 2:18-19)? Of this 1 Kings 13 passage, one writers notes:
“The man of God had been sent from Judah to prophesy against the altar set up in Bethel by Jeroboam. When the man of God was to leave, he wasn’t to eat with anyone there and he was to leave another way. Yet, when an elder prophet approached him and said an angel had told him to tell the man of God to eat with the old prophet, the man of God believed that message. And then of course the man of God would suffer the consequences for believing that message: which was death. But why did the man of God believe the lie of the old prophet in the first place?”
Remember that this man who was eaten by a lion, was called “the man of God” and was heralded for his ministry and yet later disobeyed the LORD and was destroyed for it, for his sin (1 Kings 13:11).
“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” 1 Corinthians 10:12
One commentary notes:
“In 1 Kings 13, the old prophet is from Bethel and tricks the unnamed prophet from Judah into disobeying God. The old prophet lies about receiving an oracle from God, and the unnamed prophet is killed by a lion as punishment for disobeying God. The old prophet then buries the unnamed prophet in his own tomb.“
“1 Kings 13:11
a [Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el] Having heard of the miracles and the prediction against the altar of Jeroboam (1Ki_13:10-12), the old prophet pursued the man of God. He found him sitting under an oak and invited him to come home with him and eat bread (1Ki_13:13-15). When the invitation was refused and the reason given, the old prophet indicated that he was obeying the word of an angel. The lie was so convincing that the man disobeyed the commandment of the Lord (1Ki_13:16-19). At the table the true word of the Lord came to the older prophet who predicted the younger one’s destruction for disobedience (1Ki_13:20-22).” Dake
WHO does the lion here in 1 Kings 13 represent who ate the prophet, the man of God?
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” 1 Peter 5:8
PRAYER: Holy Father in Jesus’ name please wash me afresh in the precious blood of Jesus. Please make my heart clear, clean, and pure. Wash me also with the water of Thy Word LORD and teach me to see, to perceive, to understand and discern through the eyes of Your Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Attend to My Words [podcast]

IF THE WORD isn’t flowing into you daily, you are falling away. Flood and fuel your heart and mind and body with the pure, the holy light of God’s Word daily and you will never famish! All darkness will be vanquished (Psalms 119:130). All who have been saved and yet aren’t in God’s Word and prayer daily – have rejected Christ, with no exception. Re-turn to the LORD prodigal. There’s no good outside of Christ the KING.
“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130
ALL who are not in God’s written Word daily are not hearing from God, do not have God’s wisdom and direction, and are walking in darkness – 100%.
The feeding of Christ’s flock would integrally involve exhorting them to diligently study and walk in God’s Word themselves, daily (John 21:15-17). Isn’t this exactly what the apostle Paul told Timothy to do? Yes. He told his understudy to “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)
One of the ways we know who the false ministers are, is that they want people dependent on THEM, not God. So, they don’t constantly exhort the people to get into God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures, for themselves. Run.
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8
“He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. … My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:4, 20-23
“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
“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12
“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
“Over the last 5-10 years I can see where He has done this for me already, but the problem is …. it’s not enough! I want even more! One hour of study and prayer in the morning is not enough!” Christine

Gathering Fruit for Christ’s Eternal Glory [podcast]

IF you are truly born again, God has called you personally to participate in, to obey His Great Commission command— NOT to salvage any country in this fleeting world.
It’s amazing how many people claiming to be saved spend more time, energy, and money trying to save America than they do building up the body of Christ and evangelizing the lost. Anyone claiming to be saved and yet is not participating in the Great Commission command of Christ, is out of the will of God. Repentance needed.
Save America or See Jesus Save Eternal Souls?
“America is under God’s judgment for sure. And recently there was a golden statue made of Trump. And Pastors are praying over it. A golden calf. Same thing happened in the book of Exodus and God slew 3,000 men. This angers Him greatly! There will be a severe price to pay for this adultery! America is definitely going down at the divine judgment of God.” Karen Cochran
Forget saving America. Win souls. Preach the original Gospel to see eternal souls saved unto the LORD. See Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20.
A good thing to ask proud Americans who claim they are Christians:
1. “When’s the last time you led someone to Jesus?”
2. “How much time and how much energy do you spend trying in vain to “save America” or “Make America Great Again” compared to the time and energy you spend learning, studying, and meditating on God’s Word and doing it – as in the Great Commission?”
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21
Anyone claiming to be Christ’s and yet is not doing, is not obeying His Great Commission mandate, is not in the will of God.
Regrettably, America is going down in judgment.
No efforts can undo the present reality of those claiming to know Christ refusing to truly repent, nor the 60 million innocent babies America has murdered in cold blood and called it “choice.”
Honoring something God calls “an abomination” brings “the curse of the LORD” upon any nation to do such. See Leviticus 18:22 and Proverbs 3:33. Sodomy is sin!
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21
Doing the will of the Father is executing the Great Commission Jesus gave us!
2 BIBLICAL EVIDENCES PROVE THAT AMERICA IS OVER – if there is no repentance, change [podcast]
“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.” John 4:35-38
Jesus says act now! To put off His work is to put off Christ. Read that again!
“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62
Many aren’t putting off their own sinful, lust-filled agenda in the world, right?
There is nothing new under the sun. See the book of Haggai.

“Reformed Theology“, is just a fancy way of saying ‘We know better than Paul, the old testament prophets, even David! And the very apostles who walked with Jesus must be unlearned men or liars.’ Nay, I will not say such a thing of my LORD and Saviour, Christ Jesus. Let God be true, and >every< man a liar.” Jonathan Crane
It’s “ungodly men” who mislead the gullible with the eternal security heresy, and the heretical doctrines and system of calvinism. Jude warned us of just that, as did the prophets (Jude 3-4; Jeremiah 23:17, etc.). Then Jude reminds us of God’s judgment upon His own covenant people who were saved out of Egypt (the world) and then “afterward destroyed.” Then Jude reminds us that God judged the angels, a third of them, who rebelled against Him and were terminated from His domain, Heaven (Isaiah 14:12-15; Luke 10:18; Revelation 12:7-12, etc.).
“For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” Jude 4-6
The Book of Jude
Greeting
1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
Judgment on False Teachers
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
A Call to Persevere
17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Doxology
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
