The allegiance and loyalty of the false leaders verses the allegiance of true followers and servants of Jesus.

Self-serving, cross-less, compromised hireling wolves hiding behind the cloth are nothing new saints: “Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at JEZEBEL’S TABLE (1 Kings 18:19).

Eating at “Jezebel’s table” as did the false prophets of Elijah’s day, reveals their refusal to truly repent and serve God at whatever the cost. Those who tucked their feet under “Jezebel’s table” to eat of her dainties, compromised for the provision – the regular paycheck – and refused to go against the grain of rebellion but rather followed along with it for their own self-serving purpose of being taken care of financially. The ministry had been corporatized as we see so today. This always results into making that which God ordained to be “the house of prayer” into “a den of thieves” (Matthew 21:12-17). By taking the salary, the steady paycheck, they then reject the Savior instead of crucifying self, speaking the Word, and walking uprightly. The false prophets who compromised with Jezebel were many and they sacrificed Christ on the altar of self. Instead of truly fearing and trusting God for their provision, they now took the bribe money salary of Jezebel. They wanted that guaranteed provision and the perks associated with being part of the church organization, instead of truly fearing and trusting God, speaking and obeying His Word no matter who objected, no matter what apple cart was flipped. In contrast, Elijah was on the outside of this “church” situation and at war with the rebellion of Israel’s king Ahab and his wicked wife Jezebel.

“And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.” 1 Kings 16:30 

“But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.” 1 Kings 21:25

Like God’s men, Elijah and Jehu, no truly God-fearing man yokes in an unholy alliance with the Jezebel system.

“And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?” 2 Kings 9:22

Saints, let us begin to discern those are not corrupted by the church system, you know, those who operate autonomously – separate from the system – like John the Baptist, Jesus, and His holy apostles. Any man who is given over to the LORD and genuinely called out by Jesus to serve, to feed His sheep, will come out of the system – they will cease eating at “Jezebel’s table”! (See 1 Kings 18:19.) Jezebel has a table, she has spread her sumptuous, tempestuous wares, and invites those called to ministry to come and to compromise for the temporary riches of this world – a momentary prosperity that ends in damnation (2 Peter 2:1-3). Those who’ve compromised with the system are bought and paid for and therefore will never preach the original Gospel, the essential doctrines of the cross of Christ, the crucified life (cross), sin, hell, repentance, holiness, judgment to come, the essential of enduring to the end, and being ready for the return of Jesus, etc.

Salaries for Ministers Examined

Corporate employee, or servant of Christ? Satan has secured the allegiance of those in ministry who are on salary. This is the significance of the words “Jezebel’s table” when God’s Word records how hundreds of salaried false prophets tucked their feet under the witch’s table (1 Kings 18:19). Though it is established that men whom God calls out to do His work are to be supplied, living by faith seems to be what we see of Christ, His apostles, and the prophets. Their allegiance is to the LORD and not man (1 Corinthians 9:1-14).

In his book Let My People Go, David W. Dyer writes:

The idea of salaries moves beyond what is healthy and scriptural. If and when someone receives a “salary” – that is a fixed, regular, dependable sum of money – then they no longer need to depend upon God. Little by little, they begin to trust in man. Their vision inevitably turns from the Lord to those who are paying their salary.

It is virtually impossible for this not to occur. The person or persons who are supplying us with our daily necessities are the ones who control us. When God is in this position, all is well and good. But when men are the ones who hold the purse strings, then they are the ones in a position of power over us.

In such situations, the motives of the person ministering become compromised. They become a “hireling” (Jn 10:13) who must keep in the good graces of those upon whose money they depend. Instead of the necessity to maintain a good, intimate, obedient relationship with Jesus, they merely need to keep on the good side of those from whom they receive a salary.

They therefore are no longer free to say only what Jesus gives them to say. They become reticent to speak anything which might offend someone who might then stop supporting them. They are gradually transformed into “menpleasers” (Eph 6:6). If and when someone is genuinely “living by faith,” it must be faith in God and not faith in the ability and good will of others to continue to support them.

Helping the Ungodly, Christ’s Enemies, will Procure Judgment to Ourselves

Let us cease approving of and condoning the very enemies of Christ as described in Philippians 3:18-19 and Jude 3-4. Let us cease bidding Godspeed to them – that is, endorsing and helping them (2 John 10-11). All who do such make themselves the very enemies of Christ and will be eternally judged with the wolves they “help” (2 Chronicles 19:2).

“Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.” 2 Chronicles 19:2

Many in leadership today have traded Christ for cash, are misleading others, and will suffer irrevocable eternal “damnation” (2 Peter 2:1-3; Matthew 6:24; Philippians 3:18-19).

Laboring Fervently for Christ’s Body [podcast]


“Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. 13  For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.” Colossians 4:12-13

One source notes:

“Epaphras’ prayer is a powerful New Testament model of intercession found in Colossians 4:12. As the founder of the church in Colossae, Epaphras is described by the Apostle Paul as ‘wrestling’ or ‘laboring earnestly’ in prayer so that his congregation would stand mature, firm, and fully assured in the will of God.”

Jesus Heals the Paralytic Man who was Dropped Down to Him from the Roof

Mark 2

“1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. 

2  And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them. 

3  And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. 

4  And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. 

5  When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 

6  But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 

7  Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 

8  And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? 

9  Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 

10  But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) 

11  I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. 

12  And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.” Mark 2:1-12

Abiding Under the Shadow of the Almighty [podcast]


Lord, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke. 16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart:  Jeremiah 15:15-16

Dwelling “in the secret place of the most High”

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2  I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” Psalms 91:1-2

“In the secret place of the Most High – Spoken probably in reference to the Holy of holies. He who enters legitimately there shall be covered with the cloud of God’s glory – the protection of the all-sufficient God. This was the privilege of the high priest only, under the law: but under the new covenant all believers in Christ have boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus; and those who thus enter are safe from every evil.” Adam Clarke

“[Psalms] 91:1, 2 Jesus is the One who in a preeminent way dwelt in the secret place of the Most High, and abode under the shadow of the Almighty. There never was a life like His. He lived in absolute, unbroken fellowship with God, His Father. He never acted in self-will but did only those things that the Father directed. Though He was perfect God, He was also perfect Man, and He lived His life on earth in utter and complete dependence on God. Without equivocation He could look up and say, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in Him I will trust.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
