KJB VS. AMPLIFIED “BIBLE” COMPARISON
From a book by: Jeff Johnson called SPIRITUAL DECEPTION IN THE HIGHEST
In this section we compare the King James to the “Amplified Bible” (AMP). In this comparison, we will see the results of an ‘amplified’ approach.
Gen 1:21 KJV: “And God created great WHALES …”
AMP: “God created the great sea monsters …”
Matt. 12:40 KJV: “For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the WHALES’s belly …”
AMP: “For even as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster …”
COMMENT: God creates monsters?
Gen. 2:7 KJV: “… and man became a living SOUL.”
AMP: “… and man became a living being.”
Comment: A MAJOR difference between man and beast is that man is the ONLY creature with a SOUL.
Gen. 2:13 KJV: “… land of ETHIOPIA.”
AMP: “… land of Cush.”
Comment: I know where Ethiopia is, but where is Cush?
Gen. 3:4-5 KJV: “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods knowing good and evil.”
AMP: “But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be as God, knowing the difference between good and evil.”
COMMENT: This is major blasphemy! God (with a big G) is not evil! Think about the difference between “as gods” and “as God”.
Lev. 3:13b KJV: “… and the sons of Aaron shall SPRINKLE the blood thereof upon the altar round about.”
AMP: “… and the sons of Aaron shall throw its blood against the altar round about.”
Judges 7:20b KJV: “… and they cried, the sword OF the LORD, and OF Gideon.”
AMP: “… and they cried, The sword for the LORD and Gideon.”
Comment: Notice: “OF” was changed to “FOR”.
2 Sam. 21:19 KJV: “… Elhanan … slew THE BROTHER OF Goliath …”
AMP: “… Elhanan … slew Goliath …”
Comment: The scholars missed this one! Most Sunday school children know that DAVID slew Goliath.
Daniel 3:25 KJV: “… and the form of the fourth is like THE
SON OF GOD.”
AMP: “… And the form of the fourth is like a son of the gods!”
COMMENT: It was Jesus Christ, THE SON OF GOD, who was with Shadrach, Messach and Abednego. It was Jesus Christ who saved them from the fiery furnace. And, it is Jesus Christ who saves you and me from the fiery furnace (i.e. Hell). There is a big difference between “THE SON OF GOD” and ‘a son’ of ‘plural’ gods! Think about it.
Zech. 11:17 KJV: “Woe to the IDOL shepherd that leaveth the flock!”
AMP: “Woe to the worthless and foolish shepherd who deserts the flock!”
Comment: Idol and worthless/foolish are very different.
Zech. 13:6 KJV: “And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds IN THINE HANDS? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.”
AMP: “And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds on your breast – between your hands? Then he will answer, Those with which I was wounded [when disciplined] in the house of my (loving) friends.”
COMMENT: Folks: This is a verse prophesying Jesus Christ. Jesus was wounded IN HIS HANDS (and also on His back), BUT NOT ON HIS BREAST! Also, Jesus WAS NOT BEING DISCIPLINED when He went to the cross! Jesus did nothing wrong! And, lastly, Jesus WAS in the house of “His” friends, but they WERE NOT BEING “loving” back to him!
Matt. 18:11 KJV: “For the Son of Man IS come to save that which was lost.”
AMP: “For the Son of man came to save (from the penalty of eternal death) that which was lost.”
Comment: The AMP says Jesus Christ “came” to save that which was lost; a PAST TENSE statement. The AMP implies that ALL who were to be saved, HAVE BEEN saved. Not true. Anyone, TODAY, can be saved by Jesus Christ. The correct reading is PRESENT TENSE. This AMP corruption is very subtle but very important.
Mark 1:2 KJV: “As it is written IN THE PROPHETS, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.”
AMP: “Just as it is written in the prophet Isaiah: Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will make ready Your way;”
Comment: Sometimes verses in the New Testament requote the Old Testament. This is happening here. The verse being quoted is not in Isaiah, as the AMP says, it is from Malachi 3:1. Check it out! Not only does the AMP misquote the Word of God, it even mis-quotes itself. The KJV has the correct reading: “As it is written in the prophets …”, because Malachi was a prophet!
Luke 2:33 KJV: “And JOSEPH and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.”
AMP: “And His [legal] father and [His] mother were marvelling at what was said about Him;”
Comment: This is blasphemy! Contrary to what the AMP would say, Joseph WAS NOT Jesus’ father! God WAS Jesus’ father! Every Christian knows this! And contrary to the AMP, God was also Jesus’ LEGAL father. Think about what the AMP is saying: If Jesus’ had an earthly father, then He is just any man. If He is just any man, then we are still in our sins. If we are still in our sins, then we are not saved. If we are not saved, then we have a BIG PROBLEM.
John 3:13 KJV: “And NO MAN hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.”
AMP: “And yet no one has ever gone up to heaven; but there is One Who has come down from heaven, the Son of man [Himself], Who is – dwells, Whose home is – in heaven.”
Comment: Not true AMP. There HAVE BEEN others who have gone up to heaven. Remember the angels of Jacob’s ladder? They were ascending and descending. The KJV has the correct reading which is: “… NO MAN hath ascended up to heaven …”
Acts 12:4 KJV: “… after Easter …”
AMP: “… after the Passover …”
Acts 17:22 KJV: “Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are TOO SUPERSTITIOUS.”
AMP: “So Paul, standing in the center of the Areopagus [Mars Hill auditorium] said: Men of Athens, I perceive in every way – on every hand and with every turn I make – that you are
most religious …”
Comment: Come on! Being “most religious” and “TOO SUPERSTITIOUS” are entirely different!
1 Cor. 5:7b KJV: “For even Christ our passover is sacrificed FOR US:”
AMP: “… for Christ, our Passover [Lamb], has been sacrificed.”
COMMENT: Leaving out “FOR US” misses the point entirely.
1 Cor. 16:22 KJV: “If any man love not the Lord JESUS CHRIST, let him be Anathema Maranatha.”
AMP: “If any one does not love the Lord … he shall be accursed … ”
COMMENT: Leaving out “JESUS CHRIST” leaves us guessing as to whom the AMP wants us to love.
2 Cor. 2:17 KJV: “For we are not as many, which CORRUPT the Word of God …”
AMP: “For we are not, like so many … peddling God’s Word …”
COMMENT: Peddling and corrupting are very different. ‘Modern’ bibles try and hide from the truth they are ‘corrupting’ the Word of God.
Gal. 2:20 KJV: “I AM crucified with Christ …”
AMP: “I have been crucified with Christ …”
COMMENT: The AMP says their crucifixion is over! Not true. The believers crucifixion is an ongoing, PRESENT TENSE, transaction.
Eph. 5:1 KJV: “Therefore be FOLLOWERS of God …”
AMP: “Therefore be imitators of God …”
Comment: The AMP documents Satan’s position exactly.
ONLY Satan tries to IMITATE God as Satan wants to be worshipped AS God. Born again believers cannot imitate God. We can’t rule the universe. We can only follow God. Remember Jesus DID NOT tell his “fishers of men” to imitate Him. Jesus said: “follow me …”.
Philip 3:8 KJV: “… and do count them but DUNG, that I may win Christ,”
AMP: “… and consider it all to be mere rubbish …”
COMMENT: I have rubbish on the top of my office desk, but I don’t want ‘dung’ there!!!
1 Tim. 3:16 KJV: “… God was MANIFEST in the flesh …”
AMP: “… He (God) was made visible in human flesh …”
COMMENT: God wasn’t just made visible, He was MANIFEST in the flesh. The image of the beast, in Revelation, is going to be made visible!
1 Tim. 6:10 KJV: “For the love of money is THE root of all evil …”
AMP: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil …”
COMMENT: There is a big difference between AMP’s “a” root and the correct KJV reading of “THE” root.
1 Tim. 6:20 KJV: “… oppositions of SCIENCE falsely so called”
AMP: “… contradictions in what is falsely called knowledge”
1 Pe. 2:2 KJV: “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk OF THE WORD, that ye may grow thereby:”
AMP: “Like new born babes … desire – the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may … grow unto [completed] salvation.”
COMMENT: The AMP leaves out “OF THE WORD”. It’s God’s Word that makes us grow. Also, unlike what the AMP says, we DO NOT grow to “[completed] salvation”. That says salvation is by works! That is heresy. Remember: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2: 8-9).
The Amplified Bible, published by the Lockman Foundation is straight out of the pits of hell. This work of heresy is just another IMPOSTER based upon the corruptions of Westcott and Hort. The proof is in the text. A diabolical attack against the Word of God occurs in Philippians 2:6…
AMPLIFIED BIBLE
6 Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [[b]possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not [c]think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped [d]or retained,
KING JAMES BIBLE
“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:”
Now I don’t need a PHD (post hole digger) to see what’s wrong with this picture. The Amplified Bible is no better than the New International Version (NIV, or better yet…HIV) of the Bible. Here is what the NIV reads…
NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION
6 Who, being in very nature[a] God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
Do you see the heresy of the Amplified and the NIV “Bibles?” The King James Bible clearly proclaims that Jesus Christ did NOT consider it robbery to be EQUAL with God. Yet the Amplified version echoes the same garbage as the NIV…that Jesus couldn’t GRASP equality with God. Folks, someone’s wrong here. You’ve basically got one of two choices to make as far as “WHICH BIBLE?” to accept today, either the King James Bible or one of the corruptions. The corruptions are ALL based upon the heresies of Westcott and Hort (two godless unsaved heretics who lived during the 1800’s). I tell you…the King James Bible is the ONLY reliable Bible in the English language today!
Still don’t believe me? Take a look below at Philippians 2:6 in the heathen Jehovah’s Witness Bible, the New World Translation…
NEW WORLD TRANSLATION
6 who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.
Don’t you see? The Jehovah Witnesses use the same Bible as do the idiots who keep defending the NIV, RSV, NASV, NKJV, the Living Bible, the Amplified Bible, and ALL the other imposters on the market today. The Interlinear Greek New Testament that the Jehovah Witnesses use, discloses in the front that it is based upon the Greek work of “Westcott and Hort.” Also, in case you didn’t know, the founder of the Jehovah Witnesses, Charles Taze Russell, was a 33rd degree Freemason. The list of famous Freemasons also includes Robert Schuller, Billy Graham, Oral Roberts, Jesse Jackson, Norman Vincent Peale, and Joseph Smith (founder of Mormonism). Do you think there is no coincidence here? Satan is the god of Freemasonry and is working diligently through this group (and others) to establish the beast system (a New World Order).
The devil is a master counterfeiter (which means he is a big time lying deceiver)…
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” -Revelation 12:9
Revelation 12:9 teaches us that Satan is presently deceiving the whole world, and he has done so since the creation of mankind, and he will continue to do so until he is cast into hell. Have you been deceived? Have you believed a lie? Do you have a COUNTERFEIT Bible? If you have anything other than the good ole 1611 King James Bible, then then have been deceived.
What many people fail to realize is that IF you give the devil an inch, he will become a RULER! The percentage of heresy in most of the modern translations is relatively small, but that’s all it takes to send someone to hell for eternity. If the devil corrupted too much too soon, then we’d spot him right away. The devil is subtle. If I put one drop of deadly arsenic poison in a gallon of milk, would you be willing to drink a glass of milk from that same container? No way! You’d NEVER do such a thing and risk being poisoned. Oh, you might not die, but you would risk many other damaging health problems if you did. Well, by using the corrupt Bibles, we have many spiritually poisoned people running around in our churches. For example: Every person that I meet who is against the pretribulation rapture uses the NIV or one of the “other” modern corrupt Bibles. Heretic John MacArthur attacks the blood of Christ by diminishing it’s importance, another NIV adherent. If you don’t use the King James Bible, then you WILL be doctrinally corrupt. It’s as simple as that!
The King James Bible is NOT copyrighted because you CANNOT copyright GOD’S WORD. EVERY perversion of the Bible on the market today (including the Amplified Bible and the NIV) are COPYRIGHTED. It is sickening that these ARROGANT publishers would dare to demand that someone ask their permission to quote the Bible. Who do they think they are? The CONTENT of the Bible belongs to mankind, it is God’s free gift to us. Hell will be filled with those infidels who pervert, twist, and corrupt the eternal Word of God.
The Amplified Bible is of the devil, straight from the depths of hell.

Gospel Action in Mexico Part 37

UPDATE – DELIVERED FOOD TODAY; – I purchased numerous food items for Clara and her boys today. Traversing difficult terrain to deliver the goods God supplied through your faithful giving left me with a sidewall puncture. A sidewall puncture cannot be patched and replacement was quoted at $274. Settled for a used tire. In this challenge came opportunity.
God used the punctured tire for me to meet a wayward man. Jose has spent time in the USA and has family there. His wife is presently in Colorado; he expressed strain on his family. Jose received God’s Word preached to him and the JESUS tract and said “You know what?, my wife is also a Christian.” Wow. So, his beloved wife is praying for him to be saved and God answered her prayer in part by connecting me with him. This opportunity is because of your support for this ministry. Can we please pray for Jose and his family?
I am continuing to learn to assert Romans 8:28-29 into everything.
— 28 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.
Can anyone relate?
Mark is encouraging me in helping more people, one person/family at a time. Your prayers and giving are more than important, it is essential.
I found out Clara was in need again and was moved upon by the LORD to get her and her 3 sons some food. Her whole monthly money needed to sustain her, and her boys is about $350. The house she rents is $120 per month. I will leave it there.
It is amazing how much further our contributions go in Mexico, how much more it’s multiplied. A little bit of money and ministry here goes a long way to bless and expand Christ’s kingdom! …and to give hope to the hopeless.
We continue to pray for a few more saints to assert themselves into this opportunity. God is able, amen! All I can do is let these things be known. I am blessed by your support as I am encouraged by the fruitfulness of Mission Mexico both in the reach of the spiritual needs and the physical needs of God’s children. You are responding to Jesus’ instructions in Matthew 6:19-21
—19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Clara’s Cry Video was featured recently. Click here.
Please lift a prayer in Jesus’ name for the fruitfulness and supply of our LORD’s work here with Mission Mexico. God be praised. Multitudes being reached daily with Jesus Christ’s bless-ed Gospel – spoken to them and given in print in the JESUS tract in Spanish.
BELOVED ANTONIO came by again tonight to get something to eat. I warmly received and welcomed him. Had him sit down and rest with fresh water to drink while his delicious meal was cooking. When he left I broke down while hugging him and letting him know you are lifting him in prayer and that God loves him. I played the Spanish Bible audio of Scripture to him while I was cooking so the Word would be planted in his heart…. WHO wants to cry out with me to our LORD for this young man? WHO wants to seek God for a complete change in his precious life? Salvation and good employment/work, etc. Let it not be that he could ever say that “No man cared for my soul.” – “I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul” (Psalms 142:4). Jesus is coming saints. Let us pour out His love to the hurting. Jesus Christ died for this beloved young man! Mission Mexico is rolling! “WE are labourers TOGETHER with God” (1 Corinthians 3:9). This is what it’s all about dear saints. Jump in. God will bless.
“The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.” Psalms 145:14
Beloved brother in Christ, Cesar, spent the last 14 days with his beloved mother before she passed. Mark and I went to visit Cesar the day after his mother passed. Mark and I agreed that Cesar was ministering to us. We went to comfort him and he ministered to us! Whew! You are invited to lift our beloved brother Cesar in prayer.
Oh and Cesar took about 50-60 JESUS tracts to distribute.
The plans are to be spending more time fellowshipping with Cesar again soon.
Months ago, I handed Cesar a JESUS tract and we begin to talk and he shared that he is a born again disciple of Jesus. Yesterday, with tears in his eyes, Cesar shared his testimony of Jesus’ salvation of his life 24 years ago. This is a beloved brother in our LORD Jesus for certain. Unpretentious.
As is so often the case, we gave this man a JESUS tract and spoke the Word to him. A few moments later here he is hungrily reading about His Maker and King, and Savior Jesus.
Saints we are supporting a missionary in the Philippines and am thanking the LORD for your prayers and supply to our LORD’s Gospel work …..
Anyone wish to pause and lift this man to our LORD in prayer? When ministered to, Victor asked questions. He is searching. God is able.
Thank you for praying for the beautiful people of this country. More Mission Mexico coverage here.
Remember brother Justin (from Australia) whom God miraculously saved here in Mexico? He is very grateful that you are lifting him in prayer. Praying for Christ’s saints is an essential (Colossians 4:12). Today Justin sent this:
“I was reading the book of Jo
hn and the woman at the well last night, contemplating how some plant seeds to be harvested by others (John 4). Just being grateful to serve the Lord without needing to see results. Bless you. You certainty planted some seeds with me. I’ll check out Titus! Thank you brother. I am working out my salvation with fear and trembling, for sure, and I wouldn’t be doing it so much harder now without your support.” Justin B.
UPDATE ON BROTHER JUSTIN B.
Thank you for lifting in prayer our brother Justin B. (Australian) here in Mexico. He was saved just a few months ago here. Here’s the latest from our brother. Please pray the Word for him. John 15; Colossians 4:12.
“I am good, brother. I am back in the slipstream of the Word. Felt like I had to experience the desert of doubt to come out with more clarity. Though, ultimately, trust in God is not necessarily clear. Getting confident in God with that “cloud of unknowing.”
“Daily brother. It’s my clarion call/prayer now. Diminish me but increase my faith. Purify my heart, Lord, so I may glorify Your name. Thank you for showing me the way and keeping faith in me, brother.” Justin B.
Do we recall how Jesus told Peter: “And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren” (Luke 22:31-32).
Here’s the post where the account of Jesus saving Justin is contained.
This is beloved David (pictured above) who received extensive ministry of God’s love and Word. Please lift up David, Daniel, and Justin. Colossians 4:12.
Omar was invited to have you pray for him. He readily agreed and is glad to know you are lifting him to our LORD in prayer. Jesus told us He desires to save Omar (1 Timothy 2:4).
“My Dear Brother, I will continue to lift Clara and those precious children in prayer; for I know firsthand the hardship of raising 3 little ones alone in this selfish world. I am thankful to the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY for sending strangers into my life during my time of despair and brokenness. Thank you brother for being a good steward with the gifts that the people of God send into the Lord’s Ministry. May the Lord God bless and keep you all the days of your life.” Jacquie

Seeking the Will of God [podcast]

“Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11
Maturity in Christ is seen in those who unrelentingly seek His face! 1 Chronicles 16:11
YOU are either going to clearly prove you love God by perpetually flooding your heart and mind with the Word, prayer, and praises of our LORD Jesus Christ…. or you absolutely will fall away (Luke 8:13; 1 Timothy 4:1-2, etc.).
“One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.” Psalms 27:4
“When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.” Psalms 27:8
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” James 1:5
“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Jeremiah 33:3
Notice that those not seeking the LORD today, are forsaking Him.
“if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.” 1 Chronicles 28:9
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14
YOUR PRAYER: Heavenly Father, please forgive my sins afresh. I have had other gods before You and so have committed the sin of idolatry and spiritual adultery. Please wash me afresh with Your blood dear LORD Jesus. Create in me a clean heart, an heart of flesh and remove the stony places. Please help me to sense Your leading and impressions. You are my Great Shepherd and I am Your sheep. Fill me with Your Holy Ghost dear LORD and please use me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Beware of the Manipulating Monsters: Spiritual Identity Theft [podcast]

Instead of fostering a deeper love for CHRIST in their hearers, local churches have diverted that loyalty, the faith of their hearers to themselves (1 Corinthians 29-2:5). This is “the spirit of antichrist” at work (1 John 2:18; 4:1-3). Anti in “antichrist” means “in place of” and the vast majority of local churches seek to replace Christ with themselves – to intercept the heart affections of their audience from loving Jesus Christ supremely – to rob Him of His glory for their own self-serving agenda! Beware! This was Paul’s warning of Colossians 1-2. Christ alone is the Supreme Creator, Sustainer, Reconciler, Redeemer, and Savior! Pour prayerfully over Colossians 1 and 2 this week beloved of God.
“…do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10
You cannot and won’t please everyone and such should not be your goal. Please God beloved and in NON-essentials, make your own decisions – void of the undue, unwarranted interference of others! (Read Romans 14.) Some people are operating in witchcraft and don’t realize it. They haven’t repented and learned how to mind their own business. And, so many live under the witchcraft of pleasing family and friends and the whims of others. If that’s you, you are not yet free but you can be. Seek the LORD in special prayer. Repent afresh and ask God to strip off every trace of witchcraft and control over your life. Ask Him to establish your life in His love and truth and all fear shall be vanquished from your life! See 1 John 4:16-18.
Note: Anything that is not specifically named as a sin in the Bible, is a NON-essential and that means that God gives YOU the liberty to conduct yourself as you see fit. Read and get to know Romans 14. | Learning to Mind Our Own Business
Those who insidiously seek to position themselves, to maneuver things to manipulate you, are fully arrogant and that’s why they believe THEY know better than God and you concerning your life, your decisions, your ministry, your direction, etc.. Beware. These are the very enemies of Christ. Like snakes in the grass, people like this are insidiously operating in witchcraft and as sure for hell as if they were already there (Galatians 5:19-21). Beware.
Untold scores of men, all of which had a calling from God, have allowed wicked manipulators to derail, destroy, and waste their lives. Beware.
Beware of those with an agenda….. an agenda that is not God’s agenda/will. With Jesus our LORD, the true disciple declares to God – “NOT my will, but thine be done” (Luke 22:42). All of the unsaved are under the control of Satan, the enemy of all souls.
“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 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 2:1-2
Most if not all of us have realized that there are lots of manipulators around us who vie for the control of our lives, who attempt to push their agenda, their personal will on us. Solidifying our identity in Christ, becoming increasingly rooted and grounded in Him, is essential to be kept from such witchcraft. The aim, the stated will of God, is to root and ground every one of His saints ever more deeply into Christ. Pour prayerfully, meticulously over Colossians 1 and 2 beloved, and ask the LORD to root your heart and life deeper into Christ in whom alone you are “complete.” Ask the Father that your constitution, your innermost identity would be Christ and Christ alone! (Read Galatians 2:20; 6:14; 1 Corinthians 2:2, etc.)
“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” Galatians 6:14
If your life is not all about CHRIST, you are in trouble. Stop. Re-turn afresh to the LORD. Declare JESUS CHRIST as the LORD, Savior, Master, First Love of your life in this world! Do it with force! Memorize Galatians 6:14.
Satan is behind every attempt to derail God’s people from walking in His perfect will. Spiritual warfare. In light of the desire to get God’s Word into the hearts of the people, Paul requests prayer to be “delivered from unreasonable and wicked men.”
“Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: 2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.” 2 Thessalonians 3:1-3
Escaping the Witchcraft, the Manipulation
ANY person participating in the work of Satan is a child of the devil. Satan’s work is “to steal, to kill, and to destroy” (John 10:10). Any questions? Any activity, operation, or plan to steal the freedom or money or anything from another, is the work of Satan himself. So is to killing or destroying people or property unjustly.
May the LORD continue to increase His discernment in us – in order to see the enemy working through people from afar. Once we’ve allowed them in, they are within striking distance, right? Yes. See Matthew 7:6.
“And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.” Ecclesiastes 7:26
Did you see that? Did you see in Ecclesiastes 7:26 how those who obey God will escape the seduction and the clutches of manipulating people?
A careful reading, study, and meditation upon the words of this verse above, will yield important truths concerning spiritual warfare and overcoming through Christ.
“Witchcraft” is a soul damning sin – which means that any person operating in this sin is outside of Christ and as sure for hell as if they were already there (Galatians 5:19-21). Eternal security/once saved always saved is a lie from hell.
Any person who seeks to usurp authority over another person (his will and decisions, etc.) is operating by his own agenda and not the LORD’s. Such a person is rebellious and self-willed and therefore seeks to exert their witchcraft over the lives, the decisions, the will of others.
“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” 2 Timothy 2:24-26
Remember how manipulating Delilah was as she sought to manipulate and derail Samson? Read Judges 16.
There are many examples of manipulation in the Word of God, beginning in the Garden of Eden.
In the Scripture below, notice the interaction with Paul and the false prophet, Elymas. All interference of the Gospel is from Satan. Below is but one example. This man sought to exercise control over Paul and the deputy and how the LORD judged him:
Barnabas and Saul on Cyprus
Act 13:4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
Act 13:5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.

Act 13:7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
Act 13:8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
