WHO WAS THE VERY FIRST APOSTATE ON RECORD? An apostate is one who departs from God, from the truth.

I beheld Satan as lightning fall (evicted) from heaven.” ~Jesus Luke 10:18  

Why was Lucifer irrevocably expelled from God’s presence and glory in Heaven? Keep reading.

Have you studied this mysterious being who is the literal personification of evil and the arch enemy of the Almighty? Paul wrote that we had better know our enemy lest he gain an advantage of us (2 Corinthians 2:11).

One thing’s for sure and that is that this formidable enemy of all souls is not hiding away somewhere but rather he’s integrally and feverishly involved in the corruption and destruction of mankind.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” 1 Peter 5:8

God is known by His ways and works and so is Satan who was violently ejected from Heaven’s glory, vanquished forever from the favor of God (Ezekiel 28:11-19).

He was in the very Garden of creation when the first man and woman were made. The LORD allowed it because He created man with a free will and love must be volitional. Love must have choice between at least two potential objects of worship.

Beware of the many Floating Philosophies

WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART IS COMING OUT IN YOUR OWN WORDS!!!! Isn’t it interesting that people who spew out Bible-contradicting lies … when rebuked and corrected, will say “You don’t know me!” Nonsense. This is a further attempt to hide their darkness which God is attempting to expose before it’s too late (Ephesians 5:11). Jesus told us exactly how we “KNOW” (discern) people! (Matthew 7:16, 20; 12:34) | Discernment

Beware of the feel-good quotes that float around in human circles. Many times they are all dressed up with feel-good language, playing on the sentiments of unrepentant men. Some of the messages we see circulating around have some truth in them and yet they are many times laced with humanism (worship of self) which is really luciferic (Isaiah 14:12-15). Any message that panders to men instead of exalting the nail-scarred risen Savior and LORD is enthroning man instead of the LORD, committing the damning sin of idolatry. The original Gospel message of the cross is that men must repent, deny self, take up the cross, and follow Jesus Christ. Are you being grounded in the message of the cross?

The Bible never says that God’s will is simply to make US happy. Firstly, it’s not about US but about the Son of God being glorified. He made us to be holy like Himself and not necessarily always happy in this life. I don’t mean to sound prudish but joy only comes when we lay down our lives and then the joy of the LORD becomes our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). The path to true joy in the LORD is through the cross. There is no shortcut.

As long as a person seeks his own good and happiness, ignoring Christ’s command to deny self – to die to self – he will be void of all joy. The Son of God taught:

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.” John 12:24-25  

The goal of ALL psychology and humanistic teaching is man’s happiness which is antichrist. Antichrist means to put someone else in place of Jesus Christ.  Yet, “No man can serve two masters” and anyone serving self is openly and brazenly denying Christ instead of self (Matthew 6:24). Hell awaits.

“If I were the Devil … I would substitute psychology for religion.” Paul Harvey, If I Were the Devil

You don’t need an anti-depressant, you need the joy of the LORD and that comes when you truly cry out to Him in repentance, submitting your life to Him without reserve. Pour over Psalms 51. Notice how you will then cease looking inward and begin being used of God to win others (v12-13).

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.” Psalms 51:10-13

ANY time you hear terminology like “inner child,” you know you’re dealing with psychobabble! Colossians 2:8-10 Rebuke. Run!

There is no such thing as “Christian psychology” and anyone who doesn’t know that needs to repent and be saved and get into God’s Word. “Be not deceived …” (Galatians 6:7)

DO DEVILS have free reign in the lives of the lost? Yes… capture this truth:

“Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.” Ephesians 2:2

The 5 “I’s” of Lucifer!

Self-exaltation is always against Christ and of Satan. Whenever and where ever you see or hear the word self-esteem being taught, you know irrefutably that such a person is an agent of Satan. ALL psychology and humanism is luciferic. Let’s check into this very insightful passage and note the 5 “I’’s of Lucifer and where he ends up in the last verse:

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.” Isaiah 14:12-15 (KJB)

As we just read, Lucifer, now called Satan, has a self-serving, self-elevating agenda come out of the sinful pride of his heart.

Satan and those who have chosen to be his, have an agenda – to serve self, to do things that benefit self. Therefore they use people for their own evil self-serving agenda.

In your Bible, have you circled the 5 “I“‘s of Lucifer in Isaiah 14:12-15? In this passage is a simple, yet profound revelation of Satan and his evil agenda.

Lucifer who is now Satan and the devil, is all about making self happy and so are those who are his children, even though many of his children vainly think they are Christians. As you can see from the passage above, Satan is all about self. He leads unrepentant humans in this same rebellion against the LORD our Maker.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” Galatians 6:7-8

Before being banished forever from God’s presence, Lucifer was all about self and so are all those who do not serve the LORD Jesus Christ. This evil doctrine of self-worship has crept into the church through wolf leaders. They have produced a whole generation of counterfeit “Christians.”

“Ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3

The counterfeit worships self as he feigns to be saved while the true Heaven-bound disciple is dead to self and lives only to worship Christ (Galatians 2:20).

“Beware lest any man spoil 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:” Colossians 2:8-10 

The highest purpose of man as from the mouth of His Creator, is to worship God and in order to do so, by divine decree, the individual must choose to decrease and let the LORD increase.

“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30 

If you are a true disciple of Jesus, the Word of God is the final authority of your life. You read it, study it, meditate upon it, obey it, and repent at every opportunity where you learn you have violated it. His Word is your life (Proverbs 4:20-24).

“And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” Luke 4:4

Apostasy

Beware of the Crown Stealers! [video]


by Glenn and Dezi Langohr

“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” Revelation 3:11

In the next teaching we are going to go over all of PAUL’S WRITINGS that false teachers manipulate.

False teachers today — OSAS, Hyper-Dispensationalists, Free Gracers, and Pretribbers — are crown stealers . They twist Paul’s writings to promise a salvation that requires no endurance, obedience, or holiness. But Jesus and Paul speak the same Gospel . Jesus warned through parables: some hear the Word with joy but fall away in tribulation ; servants who neglect their calling are cut off ; virgins without oil are shut out of the wedding feast ; unprofitable servants are cast into outer darkness . These mysteries of the Kingdom reveal that salvation is conditional — not “once saved, always saved.”

Paul confirmed the same truth . He warned believers not to believe in vain (1 Cor 15:2), to run the race and fight the good fight of faith (1 Cor 9:24; 1 Tim 6:12), to hold faith with a good conscience or risk shipwreck , and to lay hold of eternal life through endurance. He declared that believers can be cut off if they do not continue in God’s goodness (Rom 11:22). He said Christ could be hindered from being fully formed in the heart (Gal 4:19). He exhorted believers to test themselves to see if they were truly in the faith, warning that without Christ in them, they would be reprobates (2 Cor 13:5). He even named names FOR CAUSING OTHERS TO SHIPWRECK THEIR FAITH LIKE PRETRIBBERS DO— Hymenaeus, Philetus, and Demas FOR FORSAKING PAUL DURING PERSECUTION FOR A LOVE OF THIS PRESENT WORLD — DEMAS was a fellow laborer with Paul so let that sink in. Paul preached the full counsel of God (Acts 20:27), the same Kingdom Gospel Jesus proclaimed, not a new “Paul’s gospel.”

Revelation seals the testimony . Jesus calls His churches to repent, endure, and overcome — warning that names can be blotted from the Book of Life (Rev 3:5) , crowns can be stolen (Rev 3:11) , and lukewarm believers will be rejected (Rev 3:16). Seven blessings are promised to the faithful: eating of the Tree of Life, the crown of life, hidden manna, authority to reign, the first resurrection, entering New Jerusalem, and eternal life with God. But alongside these blessings are terrifying judgments : beast worshippers tormented forever, Babylon’s fall, the great white throne, and the fearful and unbelieving cast into the lake of fire. The conclusion is clear: endure, overcome, hold fast — let no man steal your crown .

The Power of His Might Ephesians 6 [podcast]


Ephesians 6:1-2

CHILDREN AND PARENTS; SERVANTS AND MASTERS by FB Meyer

“Where our religion is true, it will affect every relationship in life. The love of Christ must find its manifestation in nursery and in kitchen, in workshop and in municipal chamber. But notice that its duties are reciprocal. We must give on our side, just as we expect others to give on theirs.

The first duty of children is obedience. They must be taught to obey because it is right, and their conscience bears witness to the rightness. Never plead with a child to do what is right, nor bribe it by a reward. Take your stand on that primeval sense of right and wrong, which is the foundation of morals and will be the stay of the child’s whole after-life, when once its supremacy is established. But parents should help their children by removing irritation or passion from their own speech. Slaves formed a large proportion of the early Church. Their obedience must be explicit, and they were taught to believe that Christ took their faithful service to their earthly owner as service to Himself. But masters must ever deal with their servants as liable to be called to account by the great Master of all. The center of all authority is Christ, and He will demand an account of our treatment of every servant He has sent into our homes.”

Charles Pray writes:

“This is the main thing God wants to teach us-that this is a spiritual battle that we fight. You can read in the King James Bible, in 2 Chronicles 20:1-29: “The battle is not yours, but God’s.” Sometimes if we are to succeed and win victory, the Lord has to be the one to fight the battle. This is the way it must be to win the victory over sins. Only through what God has done can we win the victory. We cannot redeem ourselves from our sins. We have no price we can offer. Amen!”

Biblical Duties for Employees/Bosses

The word “purloining” is a King James Bible word that comes to mind….

“Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; 10 Not purloining (stealing), but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.” Titus 2:9-10 

Greek for “purloining”

G3557
νοσφίζομαι
nosphizomai
nos-fid’-som-ahee
Middle voice from νοσφί nosphi (apart or clandestinely); to sequestrate for oneself, that is, embezzle: – keep back, purloin.
Total KJV occurrences: 3

Purloin

PURLOINverb transitive

1. Literally, to take or carry away for one’s self; hence, to steal; to take by theft.

eg: Your butler purloins your liquor.

2. To take by plagiarism; to steal from books or manuscripts.

Where the Real Battle Rages, Ephesians 6:12

The Whole Armor of God

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;” Ephesians 6:10-18

In our country, it’s Satan who wants us defenseless – unable to defend ourselves. In spiritual battle, it’s also Satan who wants nothing more than for believers to leave the house every morning without suiting up with the armor of God!

Defensive and Offensive Weaponry

Our military can defensively strike down missiles etc. There are also many offensive weapons which can blow up enemies as is witnessed by the footage of American fighter pilots targeting terrorist operations by strategically firing and perfectly guiding heavy bombs into enemy targets…buildings. etc.

Hebrews 4:12:

The Word of God, “the sword of the Spirit” is divinely powerful, bringing great destruction (Jer 23:29; 2 Cor 10:3-5); bringing offensive weapons for the inner man (John 15:3; Eph 5:26); and for evangelism) Lk 8:11; 1 Pet 1:23; Is 55:11).

Prepared and Powerful [podcast]


“See, I have this day set thee over the nations and
over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down,
and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to
plant.” Jeremiah 1:10

God has a plan to remove that which does not belong in you
and to establish what does.

  • “to root out” (destructive)
  • “to pull down” (destructive)
  • “to destroy” (destructive)
  • “to throw down” (destructive)
  • “to build” (constructive)
  • “to plant” (constructive)

When Jesus cleansed the temple, after rooting out the evil, He then installed the purity, prayer, praise, and power (Matthew 21; John 2).

God has His order. One thing comes before the other.

Those who submit to death and burial, stripping, will be blessed to be prepared, raised up…..

Root out, pull down – high and low, God’s wants to rid us of the things that do not glorify Him.

2/3rds – Death, burial, then resurrection. As is the case throughout Holy Scripture, the cross is represented here… and then the resurrection. The divine cross economy is represented here. First we must be dead and buried and then the resurrection. Romans 6 He breaks us down before building us up.

I must be dead and buried with Christ in order to then be raised up by Christ.

“Our old man needs demolished! It cannot be reformed! Its whole foundation is rotten! God says it must be plucked up by the roots. Pulled down, destroyed, thrown out! Then He comes in and builds a new foundation. (1 Corinthians 3:11, Col 2:7). Otherwise our foundation is made of only sinking sand! And great will be the fall (Matthew 7:24-27).” Karen Cochran

The Cross Economy Pattern Seen throughout Holy Scripture

“But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Job 23:10

“Tried” – death and burial

“come forth as gold” – resurrection

God has to do a work in us before He can do a work through us.

Joseph

David

Isaiah

Peter

Paul

John

“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20  But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.  21  If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work. 22  Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” 2 Timothy 2:19-22

Jesus had to first be crucified on the cross and buried before the Father raised Him up in resurrection victory. The resurrection is God’s answer to death and burial. The must be a death and burial before there can be a resurrection.

“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8  Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9  Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10  Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” James 4:6-10

Read Psalms 51 prayerfully.

WHEN the Word is flowing in and through your life like a river, it will cleanse like a river! A full-scale embarking on studying and walking in God’s Word will cleanse you and establish you in divine truth!

“But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Psalms 1:2-3

Dabbling in the Word is like a mere trickle in contrast to devouring His Word daily and having His fountain of living waters flowing into your vessel, your life.

“Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.” Psalms 92:13

God is working in the hearts and lives of each of His people and He requires and expects our personal participation. He has to root things out of us, every one of us, before He begins building and planting in us. Get to know Jeremiah 1:10 closely. “LORD change me” is a great daily prayer.

We didn’t make up the terms. GOD did. We repent and obey or perish. Be engaged in His plan to cleanse you.

Those who are submitted to God truly are bowing down in death and burial and about the Father’s business.

“All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11  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. 14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:8-14

If you are not about the Father’s business of the Great Commission, it’s because you are not choosing to be truly submitted to the LORD.

Prayer: Holy Father, I ask You to change me. Do Your deeper work in my life. Here this moment I lay my life in Your hands. Have Your way dear LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.
