Excerpt from the book Lie of the Ages

“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” ~ 2 Corinthians 11:13-15

Did you notice in this passage that the Holy Spirit of God reveals to us that “Satan himself” has “his ministers”? Do you personally believe that Satan has people in strategic places who serve him—wittingly or unwittingly? Here the LORD calls the enemy’s emissaries “false apostles” and “deceitful workers.” How long shall we be so foolish and naïve as to deny the truth and numerous warnings concerning deceitful workers, false prophets, false teachers and false apostles? How long will we in cowardice turn a deaf ear and blind eye to those deceivers who operate large worldwide ministries that are leading millions astray? How long shall we cover for and defend false prophets who are the enemies of the One we claim to be serving? How long will we allow self-service and sinful self-preservation rule our lives?

There would be no way to list every wolf who is peddling this un-conditional eternal security lie. Among the “MANY false prophets,” the “ungodly men” peddling this lie, here’s just a few (Matthew 24:11; Jude 3-4):

Charles Stanley
John MacArthur (calvinist)
Paul Washer (calvinist)
Mat Slick (CARM)
Ray Comfort
Bob George (calvinist)
etc.

“Individuals have believed the worst lie unleashed by Satan on humanity when they believe redemption cannot be lost in the temporal realm. It is as the lie the serpent told Eve.

The fact is, that the eternal security lie has been largely perpetrated by Calvinism. There are no verses that support it. It is the major reason for the apostasy, and currently the great and final apostasy.” Cedric Fisher

Much more important than attempting to list the endless list of frauds who peddle the “eternal security” heresy, is helping God’s people to discern, to rightly divide all things via the Holy Scriptures (Ezekiel 44:23; Acts 17:10-11; 2 Timothy 2:15, etc.).

Sitting under any teacher who is not boldly, via the preaching of the whole counsel of God, exposing this lie of the ages which began with Satan in the Garden, is deadly. All true men of God will preach the whole counsel of God’s Word including exposing this damnable heresy.

“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.” Jude 3-4

Satanic Seduction

In the midst of God’s people is where Satan has strategized and set himself up in order to “seduce” God’s saints to give up their eternal reward for temporal pleasure, like Esau (Ps. 74:34; Acts 20:29-30; Heb. 12:14-15). Read this following passage carefully and notice just where Satan and his human agents have entrenched themselves and set up their evil strongholds:

“Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs… They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.” ~ Psalms 74:3-4, 7

The enemy has focused and concentrated his energies on the “sanctuary,” or refuge, the safe place of God’s people. They way the enemy does this is by raising up his wolves in the midst of God’s people in order to mislead them (Acts 20:20-32). Those who don’t truly choose to fear and obey God, will be misled (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).

Make no mistake; it should be a fixed reality in our minds that satanic seduction is a reality in this age, especially in this late hour as he has come down with great wrath knowing that his time to deceive is short (1 Sam. 5:8; Rev. 12:12).

“For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to SEDUCE, if it were possible, even the elect. But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.” ~ Mark 13:22-23

“These things have I written unto you concerning them that SEDUCE you.” ~ 1 John 2:26

“Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to SEDUCE my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.” ~ Revelation 2:20

“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

“But evil men and SEDUCERS shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” ~ 2 Timothy 3:13

Notably, in the last days we are told that deceivers, their false teachings, and their influence will increase. There has long been a war over the strategic position of the pulpits and media prominence. The pulpit, along with other venues of influence over the thinking of the people, are places of authority. In most circles, the selection process for leaders is utterly out of congruency with the New Testament record (1 Tim. 3). Diotrephes was a satanic plant among early believers. He was a controller, strategically and deliberately planted in the midst of the early church to do harm to God’s saints. He would not give way to the apostle John to come speak into the lives of God’s people (3 Jn.). Simon, the sorcerer, was saved at the preaching of Peter, then began to operate deceitfully, and was openly rebuked in order to keep sin and deception out of the church (Acts 8:9-25). In the book of 2 Timothy alone, Paul marked eight individuals by name, who were causing divisions and hindering the Gospel, contrary to the doctrine of the LORD (Rom. 16:17-18). (Book: Deceivers and False Prophets Among Us

1 Timothy 3:6 reveals that a person who is saved and gets into the ministry can then “fall into the condemnation of the devil.” This is why the Holy Spirit instructed us not to place a novice into the ministry, which is what has been done as the enemy roars among God’s people (Ps. 74:3-4, 7). “The condemnation of the devil” is simply the state of eternal condemnation, or judgment, that Satan is under by the decree of the Almighty. Everything of satanic origin is based on pride (Isa. 14:12-15; Ezek. 28). Men who are not humbled before the LORD naturally carry out their ministries undergirded and dominated by their pride of life and will be eternally damned if they do not repent (2 Pet. 2-3). These same men will lead others into the worship of self, while having a “form of godliness” (2 Tim. 3:1-13). This is the blind leading the blind into the ditch of destruction (Lk. 6:39). Those who do not have a life in the Word for themselves cannot discern and are being led to believe they are right with God and will find out on Judgment Day that they were dead wrong (Prov. 14:12; Heb. 5:11-14).

Pride-filled ministers lead others astray by spawning and soliciting many evils in others, bringing strange fire into the sanctuary of the LORD (Lev. 10:1-2).

Remember that the enemy worked in the Garden of creation against the LORD and His first man and woman. He was a witness of how the LORD separated them from His holy presence after they believed and acted on his (Satan’s) lie (Gen. 2:17; 3:1 -24). The enemy of the Almighty works within the sanctuary of the people of God to allure the saints to deny Christ instead of self. Satan has “ministers,” and they seek to lead God’s people into spiritual and physical fornication in order to cause them to be separated from the LORD, who is “Holy, holy, holy” (Num. 22-24; Isa.6:3; 2 Cor. 11:11-15; Rev. 2:14, 20; 4:8). His goal is to lead the saints into sin which separates them from the LORD.

“And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.” ~ Colossians 2:4

“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.” ~ Colossians 2:8

Jesus came because God is holy! Yes, Christ came to the earth because God is holy. Any man in leadership who does not hold this cardinal truth in utmost importance and prominence is utterly beguiled at best. Jesus Christ came “In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight” (Col. 1:22).

The enemy’s aim is to draw God’s people away from pure devotion to Him. To do so with the most impact, he must gain strategic positions of prominence to possess preeminence in the midst of those seeking to know the LORD (2 Cor. 11:11-15).

“Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.” ~ Acts 20:26-32

Do we not realize that it is outright disobedience to believe every person or leader who comes in the name of the LORD? “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try (test; examine) the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world” (1 Jn. 4:1).

In 2 Corinthians 11, the apostle Paul speaks of “he (any man) that cometh” and “preacheth another Jesus.” Here, the Holy Spirit of God identifies the enemy’s messengers of “another Jesus, another spirit, and another gospel,” who corrupt the image of Christ in us. May the LORD bless us to possess the purity of Christ.

“Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.” ~ 2 Corinthians 11:1-4

Are We Being Bewitched?

No true believer in Jesus Christ would think of going to a séance, or Wicca conference, yet witches and warlocks have infiltrated, or “crept in” the church world through TV, radio, books and various other media. These false teachers hold positions of leadership in the church world and dress and look like true believers, yet they are the prophesied “ravening wolves” who have come to devour the sheep of the LORD’s pasture (Matt. 7:15; Acts 20:29-30). These deceivers are presenting a counterfeit gospel, or view of the divine, through their false teachings which are not according to the biblical revelation of the LORD (Isa. 8:20).

“O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently (clearly) set forth, crucified among you? ~ Galatians 3:1

When Christ has been revealed to our hearts and we then do not “obey the truth,” we are said, here, to be “bewitched.”

“The Leaders”

Since the Bible tells us that there is “no new thing under the sun,” and that the father of all lies uses the same trickery that has been “common to man” from the beginning, we can clearly conclude that he still uses this same deception (re-packaged) in our day (Eccl. 1:9; Jn. 8:44; 1 Cor. 10:13). His purpose is to bring men down, and he is accomplishing this through the subtlest medium—our own leaders. “For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed” (Isa. 9:16).

Perhaps the great beguiler whispers to men individually, and then scores the knock-out punch when those people are told by their own “Christian” leaders, inside their church walls, or via some other medium, that they are unconditionally eternally secure, whether they obey or disobey the One who made them. In our day, Satan is affirming the perverted grace lie through many “Christian” leaders. It is the enemy’s same Garden lie, where men are told they have a diversity of ways they can choose to live, it’s all up to them, and whatever way they choose still leads to Heaven—if they made a “decision for Christ” at some point in their lives. They are made to believe that there will be no punishment for living unholy lives, only rewards for the good things they do. Such teaching will be tested against God’s Word throughout this writing.

“They (false teachers) preached pardon for sin but not the imperative of holiness.” — Donald Stamps

Nicholas, the Apostate Deceiver

Historians say that Nicholas (Acts 6:5), a deacon in the first century church, backslid, and led his followers to believe that living in sin would not affect one’s relationship with Christ. The term Nicolaitans is said to come from those who followed Nicholas. Nico-laitans is a compound Greek word. Nico means “to conquer,” and laitans means “the laity.” Satan used Nicholas to conquer his followers through the lie of lawlessness. The evil spirit of Nicholas lives on today through many lawless leaders who operate in the church world in this late hour.

Nicholas taught free love. He and his followers taught that the deeds of believers could not affect their relationship with God. This is antinomianism, which means lawlessness. The Bible clearly refutes such a lie as we will witness in our walk through the Holy Scriptures.

“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.” ~ 2 Timothy 2:19

“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” ~ Titus 1:16

The Bible states here, that those who “profess that they know God” and yet “deny him…in works,” are “abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.”

By this lie of lawlessness, the enemy of souls conquered the people.

“But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans (means “conquer the laity”), which I also hate…So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.” ~ Revelation 2:6, 15

Here is some modern terminology for this age-old doctrine:

Once Saved, Always Saved
Eternal security (unconditional)
Calvinism, perseverance of the saints doctrine

In Revelation 2, Jesus Christ tells us that He “hates” two things— “the deeds” and “doctrine of the Nicolaitans.” The Son of God despises the doctrine that teaches that the deeds of men have no effect upon their relationship with Him.

The Scriptures continuously reveal the divine hatred for the acceptance, and even doctrinal authorization, for living in the sins which the LORD tells us violate His holiness, reveal a wicked heart, and will prevent one from entering into the kingdom of God (1 Cor. 6:9-10; Gal. 5:19-21; Rev. 21:8, 27).

The word “lasciviousness” appears six times in the Bible and means “lack of restraint (from sinning); license for sin; licentiousness.”

To underscore the utter, divine hatred against this lie of lawlessness, it should be noted that this is the only place in Scripture where Jesus Christ, Himself, states that He hates something.

Though they may vary in packaging, these are all kin to the same lawless “ye shall not surely die” lie, which is the lie of the ages.

Does the LORD Keep His Word?

We must ask: Did God keep His Word to Adam and Eve? Did they die (become separated from Him) as He promised when they sinned against Him?

“Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.” ~ Genesis 3:23-24

Notice what the Word of God tells us here: “Therefore (because of sin) the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden…So he drove out the man.”

Adam and Eve were ushered out of the holy, divine presence for their sin. The unchanging LORD of all creation, and Judge of all, is by nature, holy. Satan is the one who works so hard to get mankind to forget this all-important truth, and to pervert the image of God by getting us to live in sin—against His divine attribute of holiness.

How many sins did it take to ruin the precious fellowship the LORD and His first people were experiencing? Just one, right?

Satan’s Three-Point Deception

There were three things the subtle serpent did to derail Adam and Eve in the Garden:

He attempted to get them to doubt God and His Word—sought to foster unbelief in the man and woman, by casting doubt upon the character of the LORD. He wanted them to doubt that the LORD was going to do what He told them He would do if they sinned against Him (3:1-3). The first thing Satan did was to cast doubt upon the Source—God. This deception set up the man and woman with the lie that led to their fall into sin, and consequential curses upon all of mankind to come (Gen. 3:1-3).
The enemy subtly inferred to the first family that God didn’t really mean what He said, and that they were “eternally secure” no matter what they chose to do—obey or disobey Him (Gen. 3:4).
The adversary told the man and woman they could “be as gods”—that is, in control of their own lives and destiny—after all, he had just told them that the LORD wasn’t going to judge them for their sin (Gen. 3:5).

Death by addition: One word added to God’s Word, to the first man and woman, led to the fall of mankind. One little three-letter word perverted the truth of God and altered the course of history. Could it be that this one little word and what it conveys to men’s hearts is altering the eternal destiny of millions who don’t even realize it?

This truth should be sobering to our hearts. Adding to, or omitting from, the words of the Almighty carries with it a severe curse (Prov. 30:5-6; Rev. 22:18-19).

Holy Fear Robbed

Those who believe in the eternal security heresy will have the fear of the LORD robbed from their hearts. They will no longer fear God and will fall into sin. This is exactly what transpired in the Garden when gave Adam and Eve the OSAS heresy.

So the OSAS (once saved always saved) lie from Satan led the first man and woman to sin and fall from grace, fall away from God….. Yet you think it isn’t leading those today who believe it to fall? Yes the Bible tells us that lies “will eat as doth a canker (gangrene) …”

“And their word will eat as doth a canker…” 2 Timothy 2:17

Though one may not know it from what he hears in most teaching going on in Christendom, fearing God is ultra-important in the divine economy, especially in light of the Judgment we will all stand in.

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men.” ~ 2 Corinthians 5:10-11

When a person believes that he is unconditionally secure in relation to the holy God of all, the restraint from sin is removed. Where the lie of the ages reigns, the fear of God is stolen from the hearts of men. This was the enemy’s goal in sowing this lie into the first man and woman. Nothing has changed as far as what he intends upon those alive today. The enemy of all souls knows that when the fear of the LORD is absent, sin and spiritual separation are inevitable (Jas 1:14-15).

“By the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.” ~ Proverbs 16:6

“The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.” ~ Proverbs 14:27

Of sinful men who are not possessed and moved with the fear of the LORD, but rather living after their depraved nature, the Bible says: “There is no fear of God before their eyes” (Rom. 3:18).

Serpents in the Pulpits

“Eternal Security is surely Satan’s masterpiece. This doctrine that claims that one can be ‘in Christ’, while willingly dead in ‘trespasses and sins’, is pure heresy. The doctrine is rooted in unbelief, seeing that they deny that Christ has any power to deliver the believer here and now. The Bible tells us that Jesus came to destroy the work of the devil, and that Jesus came to save His people from their sins, not in their sins. A Savior who cannot live up to his promises to deliver us from our sins in this life cannot be depended upon to deliver us after our death! I am uncomfortably confident that at the consummation of time, it will be revealed that this sole doctrine alone will have populated the regions of hell far more than all other false teachings put together. Those that teach this heresy have exchanged light for darkness, truth for lies, and called it the Gospel!” — Jeff Paton

——— • ———

The enemy went from using a serpent to using men. Satan’s lie led to Adam and Eve’s sin which caused their fall and separated them from God. This no-consequence-to-face-for-sin lie removed all restraint from sinning and the man and woman entered into that which God promised would cause them to “die” (spiritual death—separation; see Rom. 8:13; James 1:1315). This same lie is being boldly preached today through the most “subtle” means—our very church leaders!

It is regretful that the fear of the LORD is rarely mentioned, much less thoroughly dealt with in the modern church world. The lie of the ages has so permeated the thinking of our institutions and leaders that there seems to be very little fear of God among those claiming to know the LORD Jesus Christ. In the absence of such a pillar doctrine of the Word, restraint is greatly weakened in the hearts of individuals.

“Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.” ~ 2 Chronicles 19:7

The same most insidious serpent who intruded into the Garden, has slithered his way onto center stage in the modern church. While the LORD tells us that He desires to teach us the fear of the LORD, such is seldom instilled in those today who claim to be believers in Jesus Christ. “Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD” (Ps. 34:11).

“Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.” ~ Isaiah 2:10

Spiritual Death

“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.” ~ Romans 5:12

Is spiritual death the result of sin? Are the wages of sin still death? (See Rom. 6:23.) Has the Almighty changed since the Garden of Eden? Is He still holy? What happens when we blatantly disobey the unchanging God like the first man and woman? Spiritual death is the result of sin as it was with Adam and Eve. They died spiritually, which means they were separated from the holy LORD by the sin they committed.

“And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.” ~ Exodus 32:33

“Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.” ~ Ezekiel 18:4

“Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.” ~ Ezekiel 3:20

“For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die.” ~ Romans 8:13

“But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die…When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.” ~ Ezekiel 18:24, 26

“The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression …neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth. When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.” ~ Ezekiel 33:12-13

“Judas by transgression fell.” ~ Acts 1:25

“For the wages of sin is death.” ~ Romans 6:23

“O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.” ~ Hosea 14:1

Any person not delivered from living in sin, is not truly saved. He is facing the penalty of sin—eternal death. Genuine justification always bears the fruit of a sanctified life. Such involves the volitional will of the recipient of the grace of God.

Beware of any leader claiming to be a representative of Jesus Christ who does not teach the fear of the LORD and the absolute necessity to utterly trust God in all things and live obedient to His righteous commands. Selah.

PRAYER: Jesus, I love You. Imbue my heart with Your holy truth. Please keep me in Your loving care and safely from the schemes and snares of Satan, which he would use to cause me to offend You with sinful thinking and living. Cleanse, heal, bless, and deliver me from all evil, LORD Jesus! Amen.

“If God be For Us Who can be Against Us?” [podcast]

WHO is God truly “with”?

“And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; and IF YE SEEK HIM, he will be found of you; but IF ye forsake him, he will forsake you.” 2 Chronicles 15:2

What happens when one of His children deny Him?

“It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12if we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13if we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.” 2 Timothy 2:11-13

Those who reject Him shall be rejected by Him. OSAS/eternal security is a fairy tale espoused by the moral cowards who refuse to serve God on HIS stated terms – repentance, faith, true worship, obedience, holiness, the crucified life, etc.

“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. 15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.” Matthew 10:14-15

Persecution and the Disciple of Jesus

1 Peter 4

“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”

Suffering as a Christian

12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.

16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.”

Romans 8

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.”

God’s Everlasting Love

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

“Romans 8:29: For whom he did foreknow, etc. – “In this and the following verse the apostle shows how our calling is an argument that all things work together to advance our eternal happiness, by showing the several steps which the wisdom and goodness of God have settled, in order to complete our salvation. In order to this he first gives us, in this verse, the foundation and finishing, or the beginning and end, of the scheme of our redemption: For whom God did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son. To foreknow, here signifies to design before, or at the first forming of the scheme; to bestow the favor and privilege of being God’s people upon any set of men, Rom_11:2. This is the foundation or first step of our salvation; namely, the purpose and grace of God, which was given us in Christ Jesus, before the world began, 2Ti_1:9. Then, he knew or favored us; for in this sense the word to know is taken in a great variety of places, both in the Old and New Testaments. And as he knew the Gentiles then, when the scheme was laid, and before any part of it was executed, consequently, in reference to the execution of this scheme, he foreknew us. This is the first step of our salvation, and the end or finishing of it is our conformity to the Son of God in eternal glory, Rom_8:17, which includes and supposes our moral conformity to him. When God knew us, at the forming of the Gospel scheme; or, when he intended to bestow on us the privilege of being his people; he then destinated or designed us to be conformed to the image of his Son; and, as he destinated or determined us then to this very high honor and happiness, he pre-destinated, fore-ordained, or pre-determined us to it. Thus we are to understand the foundation and finishing of the scheme of our salvation. The foundation is the foreknowledge, or gracious purpose of God; the finishing is our being joint heirs with Christ. Now, our calling or invitation (see on Rom_8:28 (note)) stands in connection with both these.” Adam Clarke

Hypocrisy, Persecutions, and Afflictions [podcast]

“True Christiany will cost a man favor of the world. He must be content to be thought ill of by man if he pleases God. He must count it no strange thing to be mocked, ridiculed, slandered, persecuted and even hated.” -J.C.Ryle If you don’t have people leaving you due to what you’re preaching, you’re not preaching the Gospel Christ’s preached. “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” John 6:66 Ministry work always comes with “much contention.” There is a devil and he has human agents. Jesus will settle every score, will […]

The Persecution Podcast [podcast]

“Think it not strange” in 1 Peter 4 simply means to not be surprised. If you love the LORD you will want to hear all He says in His Word, including the reality of persecutions for Christ’s sake (John 8:47). Any man posing as a leader among God’s people and isn’t preaching regularly on the reality of Christian persecution, is absolutely an ear-tickling wolf! Run!

The Song of Moses: God’s Favor upon His People [podcast]

“And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.” Deuteronomy 31:30

Everything we read of the children of Israel was pointing to Christ and to His perfect salvation He would later come and accomplish and bestow upon His beloved people, the body of Christ which is “the Israel of God.” (Galatians 6:16) And so this song is written to us (Romans 15:4; Corinthians 10:11).

At the end of his days, at the end of the 5 books he penned, God gives us through Moses a summation of His salvation work among His beloved people.

“He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.” Deuteronomy 32:10-14

“32:10-14 The birth and childhood of the nation of Israel are described in verse 10. After the Exodus from Egypt, God guided, instructed, and preserved His people with the love of a mother eagle (v. 11). There was no foreign god who had a part in Israel’s preservation. Why then should the nation turn to idolatry and ascribe the goodness of Jehovah to another? Beginning in verse 13, the song is prophetic. He brought them into the blessings of the Promised Land.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

“Deuteronomy 32:10
a    [He found him in a desert land …] The sevenfold preservation of Israel:
1.    God found (literally, sustained) him in the wilderness (Deu_32:10).
2.    He led him around (Deu_32:10-12).
3.    He instructed him (Deu_32:10).
4.    He kept him as the apple (pupil) of His eye.
5.    He preserved him from idolatry (Deu_32:12).
6.    He exalted him among the nations (Deu_32:13).
7.    He gave him material prosperity (Deu_32:13-14).
b    [apple of his eye] Hebrew: ’iyshown (H380), the dark pupil of the eye; the hole, gate, or door of the eye (Psa_17:8; Pro_7:2)” Dake

“Deuteronomy 31:30-32:14
MOSES’ SONG: THE LORD’S FAVOR UPON ISRAEL
The song of Moses, like the fabled song of the swan, was his last and sweetest. It is probably the noblest ode in the whole compass of the Bible, and is the source from which subsequent singers derived suggestions for their noblest outbursts. The marginal references prove how deeply it dyed the national sentiment.

It excels in the names and designations of the Almighty. He is the Rock: Deu_31:4; Deu_31:15; Deu_31:18; Deu_31:30; Jehovah: Deu_31:6; Father: Deu_31:6; the Most High: Deu_31:8; God: El, the strong, Deu_31:15, etc. What a study are the names of God, scattered through the Bible! Each was coined to meet some need of the human soul. What the rocks of the desert are to its shifting sands God is amid the changes of this mortal existence.

This earlier part of the song is very tender. We are God’s portion; the apple of His eye; as young eaglets, whom the mother-bird is carefully teaching to fly, the favored recipients of God’s richest gifts, Deu_31:13, etc.” FB Meyer

Notice the descriptive language, the metaphors—how the LORD illustrates how He loves, protects, and provides for His people. In Scripture, the LORD uses imagery to communicate truth.

“Moses’ song and what our LORD reveals in this message, is such a beautiful picture of God finding us in our hopeless, miserable, and lost state. He pulls us out of the miry clay and gives us His supply of grace. He then clothes us with His righteousness, seating us in heavenly places in Christ and surrounding us with His care and protection. God’s love and goodness to us.” Karen Cochran

“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. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee

from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome

pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers,

and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall

be thy shield and buckler.” Psalms 91:1-4

Read Psalm 91 often so this truth permeates you. Here the LORD uses the imagery of His “winged fowl” creation (Genesis 1:21). GOD made this very creature/bird for the express purpose of showing us how much He loves us and how He comforts, cares and provides for, guides, and protects His own (Psalms 91:1).

“The Song of Moses is recorded in Deuteronomy 32 of the King James Version (KJV), spanning verses 1 through 43. It is a prophetic poem given by Moses to the children of Israel just before his death, serving as a witness and a reminder of God’s faithfulness and Israel’s potential turning away.”

Prayer: Father, please grant that I know and understand You more and more. I love You LORD. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Peace, Protection, and Provision [podcast]

Divine Comfort, Care, and Protection “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalms 91:1 In this chapter God paints the picture of His oversight, His divine watch care, His provision and His protection over His beloved people. Each verse is this amazing chapter is inseparable connected to and anchored in the very first verse – which is the divine thesis statement for the whole chapter. As is the divine case made throughout Holy Scripture, it’s all about relationship! See also Jeremiah 17:12, John 17:3, and Philippians 3:10. Read Psalm […]

Understanding how Divine Protection Works in Christ's Body [podcast]

Have pity on deceivers? Absolutely not. “Mark them.” (Romans 16:17-18) “Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:” Deuteronomy 13:8 Read Deuteronomy 13:1-10. Anyone who downplays warning the “little flock” for whom Christ’s died and rose again, is not being led by the Holy Spirit and we know that because such a person is contradicting the Word of God given to us by the “inspiration” of the Holy Ghost (Luke 12:32; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21). “For God is not the author of […]

Clear Proof that the Bible is the Only Sacred Holy Book on God's Planet [podcast]

There is only one holy book and name in the earth, the sacred name of Jesus Christ who is the grand subject of all of Holy Scripture (Philippians 2:9-11). God left us with His Word so we can know Him and not be deceived by the “MANY false prophets” He promised would come and deceive many just before His return (Matthew 24:11). God gave us His Word to protect us (2 Timothy 3:15-17). “Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 Declaring the end […]

The Book of 1 John Narrated [podcast]

Love. Truth. Know.

Note: The Book of 1 John has at least 3 power words and truths to behold: 1. Love, 2. Truth, 3. Know

“Love” appears 44 times in 1 John.

“Truth” appears 10 times in 1 John.

“Know” appears 28 times in 1 John.

Some have called the book of 1 John “the book of certainties” as Christ’s apostle John is blunt, curt, strong, forceful in/with the truth, and loving – a true man of steal, and velvet.

Reading any book of the Bible 10-20 times, reading straight through it, is powerfully effective in getting that Word of our God and its divine thoughts into our heart and mind.

Chapter 1

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; ²(for the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) ³that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. ⁴And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

⁵This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. ⁶If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: ⁷but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. ⁸If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Chapter 2

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: ²and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. ³And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. ⁴He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. ⁵But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. ⁶He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

⁷Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. ⁸Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. ⁹He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. ¹⁰He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. ¹¹But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

¹²I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake. ¹³I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. ¹⁴I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

¹⁵Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

¹⁸Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. ¹⁹They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. ²⁰But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. ²¹I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

²²Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. ²³Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. ²⁴Let that therefore abide in you, 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. ²⁵And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

²⁶These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. ²⁷But 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. ²⁸And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. ²⁹If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

Chapter 3

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. ²Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. ³And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

⁴Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. ⁵And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. ⁶Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. ⁷Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. ⁸He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. ⁹Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. ¹⁰In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

¹¹For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. ¹²Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. ¹³Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. ¹⁴We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. ¹⁵Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. ¹⁶Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. ¹⁷But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

¹⁸My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. ¹⁹And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. ²⁰For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. ²¹Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. ²²And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. ²³And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. ²⁴And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Chapter 4

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. ²Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: ³and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. ⁴Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. ⁵They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. ⁶We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

⁷Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. ⁸He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. ⁹In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. ¹⁰Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. ¹¹Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. ¹²No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. ¹³Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. ¹⁴And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. ¹⁵Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. ¹⁶And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. ¹⁷Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. ¹⁸There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. ¹⁹We love him, because he first loved us. ²⁰If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? ²¹And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Chapter 5

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. ²By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. ³For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. ⁴For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. ⁵Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? ⁶This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. ⁷For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. ⁸And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. ⁹If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. ¹⁰He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. ¹¹And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹²He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

¹³These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. ¹⁴And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: ¹⁵and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

¹⁶If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. ¹⁷All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. ¹⁸We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. ¹⁹And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. ²⁰And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. ²¹Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
