The fall out, the delusion of fools.
PEOPLE crying out to the LORD is beyond precious and yet, we must beware of the wolves in sheep’s clothing in our midst that Jesus and His holy apostles continually warned us about – who “lie in wait to deceive” – to insert themselves, who usurp a place of interception, where they interject poison for their own self-serving agenda, to intercept the affection of the hearts of men (Ephesians 4:14; Colossians 2:18-19).
“That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” Ephesians 4:14-15
THE TEST: If it’s a move of God, sin, repentance, hell, holiness, judgment to come, Jesus Christ, and the cross He commanded we take up daily WILL BE PREACHED!
“Revival” as the word is used among church leaders, is an indu$try to them – something they concoct, fabricate, and perpetrate on the people! Beware saints. These same men are not calling men to repentance, to the cross, to be set apart holy to the LORD. Therefore their enterprises are not legitimate, are not a true move of God. They emphasize and use the fanfare to draw the gullible to their “revivals” to win them to their fraud movements and organizations and churches.
Just what are people being won into?
“Any objection to the carryings on of our present golden-calf Christianity is met with the triumphant reply, ‘But we are winning them!’ And winning them to what? To true discipleship? To cross-carrying? To self-denial? To separation from the world? To crucifixion of the flesh? To holy living? To nobility of character? To a despising of the world’s treasures? To hard self-discipline? To love for God? To total committal to Christ? Of course, the answer to all these questions is no.” From chapter 30 of “Man – The Dwelling Place of God” by A.W. Tozer (1960)
From an eye witness to the sodomy at Asbury:
“Thank you. This is an eye witness to the sodomy at Asbury. Anyone who still defends this abomination called Asbury “revival” is an antichrist. 100%.”
The separation is a blessing (Matt 10:34) and is ordained. We are seeing those whose hearts, consciences are captive to the WORD of God and those who are in rebellion – “NOT of God” (John 8:47). This is not even close. For weeks now this type of exposure has been coming out in the open and STILL those who defended this demonic staged delusion are defending it. They are “NOT of God” according to Jesus (John 8:47).
The word “revival” appears nowhere in God’s Word. “Repent” or “Repentance” appear 72 times. Let’s get a clue. This is a message in and of itself. We don’t need man’s staged “revivals,” we need to repent before a Holy God!
“The purpose of worship is not to obtain an emotional high, to placate the flesh or be entertained. It’s not a theater stage for dramatics or performance. The purpose of worship is to honor, glorify, and praise our holy God ‘in spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24).'” Unknown
It’s only the biblically illiterate who are also rebels, lawless, and refusing to seek God in HIS Word for themselves, who get gleeful when they hear that a new “Jesus” or “Bible” movie from heretics and Catholics is coming out. Laughably delusional. Hell awaits. 2 Thessalonians 2. Read it. KJB. They have openly rejected the knowledge of God.
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because THOU HAS REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law (Word) of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6
I am thinking, in my limited scope, that perhaps we have made “revival” out to be something we do not see in Scripture. The Word never even appears. “Revive” does, and re-vive or resurrection, re-filling with life, comes when we are crucified, dead and buried with Christ. Yet the cross is never even mentioned in what is being called “revival.” The whole industry of “revival” doesn’t seem to fit with what we see in the history of the early church. Firstly, can a group of men just decide to stage a “revival” by planning it and promoting it and saying that there’s going to be a “revival” as if men control such? And, in these “revivals” it’s all about the Holy Ghost and not Jesus. Huge red flag, right? Read John 16:13-14.
It’s never coming out of the WORD itself and it’s always about the men and their supposed mission and never about Christ. It’s all about the idol “revival.” People travel across the country to get some feeling and yet, now we know that any spirit giving people those feelings, was not the Holy Ghost at Asbury – a sodomite camp that has a satanic labyrinth on campus. It was “another spirit” which is a devil (2 Corinthians 11:2-4; Galatians 1:6-9).
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“The great falling away will happen because of the shallowness of these false revivals not producing anything of any substance. People are going to become delusioned because there was no change or conviction. Because they were not based on the word of God producing repentance which produces changed lives.” Darrel Moore
REPLY:
Yes, we are seeing what seems the fulfillment of 2 Thessalonians 2, where the “strong delusion” is right in the midst of that which claims to be Christ’s body. No doubt Paul’s tears and anguish were over the LORD showing him that wolves were coming from within to mislead sheep away from Christ (Acts 20:29-32).
Division, the Dividing Sword – Matthew 10:34
“There is a big difference in ‘all HAVE sinned’ and those who continue to practice sin while claiming to be a preacher or evangelist! Seriously, I am so sick of that mantra being used (by wolf defenders) anytime a watchman does their job and warns!” Gloria Marshall Sykes
“The sheep and the goats are being decisively separated in the church today as we speak. The end times that we are in is characterized by the great falling away, not a time of ‘revival’.” Barbara
The cry echoed by a myriad of wolves is “The church needs a revival,” and yet repentance is seldom mentioned. Think: Why would they bother mentioning repentance when they never mention sin? There are 17 soul damning sins specifically cited in Galatians 5:19-21 alone. Many are gullibly buying into the “The church needs a revival” without testing who is saying this nor comparing it to the Word of God (Acts 17:10-11; 2 Timothy 2:15). The first word and divine command of the original Gospel is “Repent” (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19, etc.). So, this begs the question: WHAT are they reviving people into? WHAT are they reviving in people? WHAT are they winning people to? It certainly can’t be that people are being won to Christ when it’s not His Gospel being preached but rather “another gospel” (2 Corinthians 11:2-5; Galatians 1:6-9).
The following New Testament essential, preached by Christ and His holy apostles as an imperative, will never be heard in the vast majority of modern churches or any of these fake “revivals.”
“Bring forth therefore fruits meet for (proving, consistent with) repentance: 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” Matthew 3:8-10
Clear proof that true and imperative repentance will always bring forth the fruit of holiness, a set apart life.
Memory verse:
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13
Confessing AND forsaking our sins proves we’ve repented. Anything short of overcoming reveals the absence of true repentance and the crucified life.
Let’s cease making claims when there’s no evidence of the delusions we believe. Stop it. JUST because YOU want something to be true, DOES NOT make it true. Repent.
The Jesus Revolution is just the latest “I-want-it-to-be-true-because-i’m-too-lazy-to-read-God’s-Word-for-myself” movie deception.
Claiming that those who don’t like your latest little “Jesus” movie are pharisees seems no different than clue-less, debunked Democrats saying conservatives are “racist”….. all for not agreeing with their conclusions. Discernment is biblical, not pharisaical. It is the mandate of God for His true disciples (Matthew 7:16, 20; Acts 17:10-11; Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3-4; Revelation, etc.).
At this point it is becoming increasingly obvious that the prophesied great apostasy is coming from within professing Christianity. Read 2 Thessalonians 2. All the high staged “Christian” sources are promoting it. But does that make it legit, of God? No! (Luke 6:26.)
No great awakening or great revival is coming. The Bible foretold the great falling away. Read 2 Thessalonians and cease following mere men (Isaiah 2:22).
AND all this fanfare is for no small purpose, and the agenda is to deceive if it were possible, the very elect (Matthew 24:21-24).
We just saw, in living color, out in the open for all to see…. WHO is “of God” and who among us is “NOT of God” (John 8:47). This was a test run – and all who will bow to the antichrist were made manifest for all to see (1 Corinthians 11:19). A few will repent and the rest will remain in darkness and plunge headlong and irrevocably into the flames of eternal damnation for loving darkness rather than light, for not choosing the fear of the LORD (John 3:19-21; Proverbs 1:29).
HAVE YOU noticed the crickets? WE are now marked safe from the demonic hoards who came out of the woodwork to defend a 100% clearly proven debunked “revival.” Few if any have openly admitted they were wrong. Soul damning pride, arrogance. The LORD saw how bold they were to defend the works of His very enemies and yet say nothing against those works of darkness now that they are openly exposed.
Biblical truth: From the beginning, God ordained that His people learn of Him via HIS words and not a movie, “revival,” or a production, or anything else produced by sinful men (Deuteronomy 4:1-10; John 5:39-40; 2 Timothy 2:15, etc.). The written Word is where we have the perfect, permanent, portrait of our LORD. It’s beyond gullible to think that sinful men can depict the image and doctrine of the infinite Almighty God. God’s Word reveals that “Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” and that’s how we were given the very Word of our God which “is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-21). THAT’s where so many are deceived. If they were truly saved, they’d be in the Word, and would not be falling for every wind of false doctrine coming down the pike via wolves in sheep’s clothing. True elders in Christ’s body are diligently grounding souls in the Word of God itself – so that they are healthy and growing in Christ, protected, and speaking the Word of God. Read Ephesians 4:11-15.
WITH no exception, anyone being used of God is grounding their audience in the final divine authority of God’s written Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.). All others are frauds.
Lynne Parker writes:
“Christians will be tried by the Word in this hour. There is no more riding the fence or taking a neutral position. God Himself will place us all in a position to stand or fall according to the Word. “Deception” and its sister “delusion” are gripping the Body of Christ, and like a dark cloud it is covering the land. The false dominion (NAR) theology and signs and wonders movement has effectively conditioned multitudes to forsake the authority of God’s Word and embrace their subjective feelings as guidance in discernment concerns. But in these latter days only those who divorce their feelings and trust only in God’s Word and have developed a love for the truth will overcome the devil’s schemes. Sadly many will be lost – it’s unfolding right before us.”
What has come to light in this separation of the sheep and goats, the wheat and the tares….
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18
ANYONE who doesn’t presently have and hold God’s written Word as the final divine authority of their life, is “NOT of God” (John 8:47). To date, such rebels have foolishly, arrogantly sought to elevate their puny-ness above or on the same level as the Most High. Pride causes fallen men to be wise in their own conceit (Proverbs 16:18).
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” Proverbs 3:5-7
Why would we question God?
“Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?” Isaiah 45:9
Like their father the devil, pride will be the eternal undoing of all who do not hearken to, learn, and live the words of God (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:12-19; Luke 10:18; Revelation 12:7-12). It’s an open book test – the books shall soon be opened to judge the wicked (Revelation 20:11-15).
“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” Isaiah 45:22
EVERY person who bought the lies of Asbury, He Gets Us, the Jesus Revolution, or The Chosen, does NOT hold God’s Word as final divine authority. They live by their own feelings instead because they are “(..enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” In other words, they are full of self and rejected by the Savior.
“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:18-19
FLASH POINT: Nothing is “biblical,” or “is of God” just because it made You, a sinner, to feel good (John 8:47). Repent now – you are an antichrist who is living in the flesh (Romans 8:5-6; Philippians 3:18-19).
IF the name of Jesus Christ, His Gospel, His words, if sin, repentance, the cross, judgment, and holiness aren’t being preached, it’s NOT of God! (See John 8:47.) It’s a revival of deception, not truth! Mark these vile wolves (Romans 16:17-18).
Any person who thought this was a move of God has got a wake up call – but only if you seize the moment. You are in big trouble, in deep darkness, and in utter need of true repentance, fasting and prayer, and getting in the Word (KJB) like your life depends upon it – because it does. Otherwise the flames of eternal damnation shall feed upon your rebellious soul. Repent now. Re-turn to Christ with absolute reckless abandon!
To a lady who is insisting that this scam “revival” is true, based on her own feelings, using not even one Bible verse, the following reply was given:
You are plainly resting your case upon and admitting you are trusting in your own heart and feelings and not God’s Word (Proverbs 28:26), which apparently you do not know and will be “destroyed” if you don’t repent (Hosea 4:6). Are you going to blasphemously claim that God is blessing what He calls an “abomination”? See Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1.
To those still daring to defend the works of Satan (Asbury, the Jesus Revolution, The Chosen, He Gets Us)….while claiming to be saved: Do you care what the BIBLE says? According to Jesus, such proves if we are “of God” or “NOT of God” (John 8:47). How can people possibly defend something like this – just because it makes THEM feel good? Simple: They have refused to truly repent, die to self, take up the cross, and follow Jesus in the crucified life and so they serve the god of self (Matthew 16:24-25; Galatians 2:20; 6:14; Philippians 3:18-19, etc.).
It simply doesn’t matter how many gullible, biblically-illiterate people attempt to prop it up, Asbury simply, clearly, miserably fails the biblical test for a move of God (Acts 17:10-11; 1 Thessalonians 5:21, etc.). No Bible. No repentance. No mention of Jesus Christ. Overt celebration of the “abomination” of sodomy (Leviticus 18:22), etc.
The frenzy, fanfare, and pandemonium of the fake “revivals” is all about the revival itself… and not JESUS CHRIST (Colossians 2:8-10, 18-19). The feeling, the experience, is what is promoted and magnified, never Christ Himself. This is 100% “the spirit of antichrist” – anti means in place of. Jesus is not only demoted, He’s never even mentioned in these fraud “revivals.”
Have you ever noticed that when there are fake revivals the idol is actually the revival itself and the supposed feeling people are getting and it’s never based on or grounded and centered upon the Word of God? They barely opened the Bible at Asbury and when they did it was a fake lame satanically corrupted version.
You Still Going to Claim Asbury wasn’t Staged?
More egg on the face of those who insist that Asbury was a move of God. What are the chances…. unless it’s all contrived?
More proof Asbury was staged. This current “revival” at Asbury began in February 2023. And, what are the chances of this “God revival” in the same month, each time it happened with the exemption of once in the neighboring month? Hmmmmm. This is from the Asbury Seminary website:
NEW THOUGHTS ABOUT ASBURY:
BACKFIRES ARE A REALITY – ALWAYS HAVE BEEN!
The greatest backfire in history is when the antichrists, the enemies of the LORD Almighty crucified the LORD Jesus who was to their horror raised again from the dead whereby death, hell, the grave, and Satan were defeated! (See Colossians 2:14-19; Hebrews 2:9, 14-15.) Jesus defeated death BY DYING – whereby He shed His precious blood on that cross, was buried, and resurrected – which was the greatest event in human history!
“The princes of this world” in the verse below refer to demonic spirit beings in the heavenlies and to their human agents on earth (Ephesians 6:12).
“Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” 1 Corinthians 2:8
“They didn’t understand the hidden wisdom of God (Christ on a cross) or realize that their murder of the Holy Son of God would result in their own destruction. Had they known the ways of God, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
Applying the Backfire Principle (reality) to What’s Transpiring Today
COULD IT BE possible that these fake revivals will result in a backfire on Satan and his evil human agents? One thing is for certain, people are hungry for God…. they know something is missing in their lives.
People seeking God, hungering for what is missing in their lives – JESUS – is a blessing. Yet wolves who capitalize upon, who exploit, and make merchandise of these people is diabolical! (See Matthew 21:15-17; 2 Peter 2:1-3, etc..)
AND, you and I, Christ’s disciples are to be blessed, busy with communicating His whole-counsel truth to them, showing them via the 10 Commandments how they’ve sinned against God and are in need of REPENTANCE and to RECEIVE Christ who died, was buried, and raised again from the dead to justify them (Acts 2:38; 3:19; 20:21; John 1:12; Romans 10:9-13).
“Asbury celebrates the abomination of Rome called the eucharist- with openly gay people without any shame or fear of God. Rome lets gay, pedophile PRIESTS conduct what should be a holy “remembrance” of the death of Christ, but the great harlot decided to pervert the remembrance into a trans-Jesus WAFER GOD. Apostate churches fellowship with sodomites as if they are on the narrow road to heaven. They assure hell-bound sinners “peace and safety,” and “No evil will come upon you”; “Ye shall not surely die” if you “Do what thou wilt” contrary to Christ’s commands. They don’t cast known fornicators or pedophiles out till they repent, as commanded (1 Corinthians 5). They are proud of their FALSE LOVE spirit of Jezebel, teaching fornication and sacrificing to devils is acceptable by their heinous example. They cover the sins of pedophile priests by moving them to a different parish so they may continue abusing boys undetected.” AR
If Fox and CBN are promoting it, what does that tell us?
SO God is now putting His blessing on a camp that is promoting what He calls an “abomination” – homsexuality? (See Leviticus 18:22.) Hmmmmm. More paid cri.si.s actors? Time to wake up people. Read the Bible, the King James Bible. WHAT “spirit”? “Another spirit” (Galatians 1:6-9; 2 Corinthians 11:2-5).
There is No Cross at Asbury and on this fact alone, it’s a false revival.
Can there be TRUE reviving? YES! AND true reviving – resurrection, only comes from God when His child chooses to die the death – to be daily crucified and buried with Christ (2 Corinthians 4:10-12). God raises no one up who doesn’t choose to die downward! Any supposed “revival” that doesn’t have the cross of Jesus Christ at the center of it is absolutely false. And so anyone being led to promote or defend it is under the power of a deceiving spirit, the spirit of antichrist. Repent now. Turn to the LORD Himself for real. Lay down your life in this fleeting world and abandon yourself to the One who made you and came and died the redeeming death, was buried, was raised again from the dead, and is coming back for His own!
God says we’re fools if we believe He’s going to raise up someone who’s not dead and buried.
“Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened (resurrected, revived), except it die:” 1 Corinthians 15:36
God raises up – revives – no one who isn’t dying downward! Read Romans 6 each morning this week. Die to self. Crucify the lusts of the flesh and walk with Jesus in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-24).
The LORD is not going to raise someone upward – revive them – who doesn’t repent and die to self. So, any supposed “revival” that doesn’t have the cross of Christ at the forefront is a false revival. 100%.
If there is no cross in the message, there is no Gospel. It’s a false gospel, “another gospel” (2 Corinthians 11:2-5; Galatians 1:6-9).
WHERE O WHERE is the cross in today’s modern church world? If you aren’t hearing it constantly, run for your life. You are sitting under those who are the very “enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly.”
“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:18-19
WHERE is the cross being preached at Asbury – the blood of His cross and the one He commanded you to take up daily? Read Luke 9:23-24; Colossians 1:20. IT’S NOWHERE TO BE FOUND AT ASBURY – and so any and every person who condoned this atrocity is guilty of using the name of the LORD in vain and in need of repentance, now.
Coming out of Her is a divine mandate, a necessity to be saved!
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:14-18
False prophets speak about love and unity – yet it’s never verbalized by them that the only unity the true body of Christ has is with those who also rest in, embrace, live out and hold to the final divine authority of God’s written Word. All other unity is false, fleshly unity. True servants of the LORD speak about Jesus Christ and His redemption, the blood of Jesus, holiness, the cross, judgment, sin, repentance, being ready for the return of Christ, and truth. Beware.
“The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the TRUTH. 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the TRUTH that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the TRUTH. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in TRUTH.” 3 John 1-4
In His prayer to the Father, Jesus makes it clear that His Word, the exclusive island of His truth, is where His saints are sanctified – where they are set apart as His special, only bride. All others are outside of His kingdom.
“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17
The primary way God leads His New Testament body is by His written Word. His true disciples have no unity with those who are not born again AND presently abiding, walking by and in the record of Holy Scripture (Psalms 119:105; John 10:35; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:3-4; 12-21, etc.).
Jesus teaches us that real change and the “manifest” presence of the LORD only come to those who embrace His Word, who love, worship, and obey Christ (John 8:47; 14:21-23). These blessings don’t come from going to a supposed “revival” and praising and worshipping the LORD endlessly. There is no magic bullet in Christ’s kingdom but there is a cross to be born, “daily” (Luke 9:23-24). Out of that abiding relationship with Christ, practically walking with Him daily will be the progression of “fruit… more fruit, much fruit” produced in our lives (John 15). Time to get into the trenches and stop buying Satan’s lies. The cross, the trench equals your own death and burial and guarantees the resurrection of Christ – raising you in His glory, His grace, His power, and His victory! Read 2 Corinthians 4:10-12.
“I asked one of the revival faithful to share at least one real testimony and was attacked in an accusatory way…no true testimonies are available apparently.” Barbara
DOES GOD want to pour out His Spirit on His people? YES! (Book of Acts!) The LORD desires to pour out His Holy Ghost and yet, how do we behold Him doing that in His Word? See John 14:21-23 if you want more of Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Ghost. We know it’s not the LORD pouring out His Holy Spirit on any person, movement, or assembly where HIS WORD is not clearly honored at the forefront of it all, the groundwork of that working of His Spirit. Those who honor God honor His Word – otherwise they despise the Almighty and are antichrists.
“He that is OF GOD heareth (Honors, esteems, holds to, obeys) God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are NOT OF GOD.” John 8:47
When and every time God’s Word is not front and center, no matter what’s done, it’s “another spirit” flooding that atmosphere on the wings of the rebels who preach “another gospel” which is elevating “another Jesus” which is a demon. “Seducing spirits (demons) and doctrines of devils” are inseparably intertwined.
“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; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1-2
Acts 17
On Mars’ Hill, the apostle Paul “preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection” (v18), and then he preached on their sin of idolatry (v29), then he preached that “God…now commandeth all men every where to repent” (v30). And he preached “judgment to come” (v31; Acts 24:25).
The result:
“So Paul departed from among them. 34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.” Acts 17:33-34
Beware of the Cessasionists
Beware of those counterfeits who come in on the wings of an obviously fake revival and blaspheme the LORD by taking away from His stated New Testament program – which includes His desire to fill, to baptize each and every one of His children with His Holy Ghost. Beware saints. God’s people sinned when they “limited the holy one of Israel” (Psalms 78:41).
“Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.” Psalms 78:41
We are pressing forward and not drawing back (Philippians 3:13-14; Hebrews 10:38-39).
The following is a divine command:
“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:” Psalms 103:2
Bible Fact/Truth: The LORD wants you full of His Holy Ghost! And no man can change that. See Holy Spirit category.
“The doctrine of Christ” is all of what the Bible says about Him and all that He and His apostles taught. Anyone who doesn’t remain in the doctrine of Christ, the whole counsel thereof, after being saved, is a hell bound rebel.
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in (remains not in) the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.” 2 John 9
Many today have chosen to reject certain portions of God’s Word due to not liking what it says. Many today are universalists who believe God is love and yet He’s no longer going to judge and be just and deliver to hell those who die outside of Christ. These are hell bound heretics who have rejected the clear teachings of Jesus Christ. See Mark 9:43-49 for example.
People are still defending this delusion:
To a person who was calling us to cease telling the truth, shining the light of Christ into the devil’s dark and insidious intrusions into the professing body of Christ…. the following rebuke was leveled:
Jesus says we know people “BY THEIR fruits” and so who’s lying… you, or the Son of God? I’ve got my answer. Matt 7:16, 20. God is calling you to get into His Word for real and cease peddling misinformation concerning Him which would be to use His holy Name in vain. Read Matthew 23 and destroy the fairytale image you have of the Son of God. Repent now.
ANY person agreeing with the Asbury “revival” is openly declaring that they are antichrist rebels who are calling God a liar, Who says that homosexuality is an “abomination” (Leviticus 18:22).
Any person who does not choose to agree with God, with what He stated in His Word, is a lost soul who is calling the Almighty a liar.
You cannot disagree with God’s Word and still be right with God.
“A woke church is a broken church. Repent or perish! Sodom will burn! God does not accept willful sinners who will not confess what HE calls sin and repent of it. Those who condone sin are on the broad way to destruction regardless of how many hours they sing songs, raise hands, pray, FEEL good. ‘Lord Lord have not we prayed for DAYS? Have not we praised your name for weeks on end? Have not we appeared righteous outwardly? Have we not redefined revival to inclusive, diverse, and equitable? Did we not allow the minority gender identifiers to lead?’ Asbury doesn’t qualify as a Bible revival any more than an mRNA jab qualifies as a vaccine. Yet MANY are deceived by both trusting the ‘experts’ of seminaries and government institutions. Cursed be the man who trusts in man, and whose heart departs from the Lord …blind being led by the blind into the ditch of counterfeit revival.” A.R.
“The thing that is missing from all these false revivals is the message of the cross, repentance, and truly coming to JESUS. The other thing I did hear was that there were homosexuals helping to lead worship and that there was a lot of repetitive words in worship being done (those are mantra’s) and not something we should be doing.” LG
Invite the effeminate, the sodomites into the church? Well, if they attend, let them hear the pure raw Word of God which includes the call to absolute repentance. If they don’t repent, they must be turned over to Satan, removed (1 Corinthians 5). Regrettably perhaps less than 5% of church gatherings today are led by true men of God. Wolves abound just as was foretold (Matthew 7:15; 24:11; 2 Timothy 3:13; 1 John 4:1, etc.).
If you attend a “church” that is not dealing with any form of fornication the Bible way – calling it out, calling it sin, requiring repentance, you are part of a an antichrist congregation. Run.
The body of Christ is commanded not even to associate with, to not even eat with any professing Christian who is a fornicator.
“But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? DO NOT YE JUDGE THEM THAT ARE WITHIN? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.” 1 Corinthians 5:11-13
HOW did the body of Christ deal with fornicators? Read 1 Corinthians 5. Knowledge up, now! Know the Word. Pour over this chapter.
IF this “revival” were truly of the LORD, why would the secular WORLD be promoting it? WHY all the promotion needed? Hmmmmm.
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1). Bad fruit – people camping out in a building. In Scripture, true moves of God always moved disciples out to the world (Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8; 8:4, etc.). This is a self-serving, self-absorbed “move” and so we know it’s not of God. Lust gets – love gives. They are promoting what God calls an “abomination” (Leviticus 18:22). They have pushed Elijah Drake to the forefront. He’s an open homo whom they pushed onto the platform at Asbury so he could tell everyone he’s practicing what God calls an “abomination.” Asbury has a cursed root, bad fruit (Matthew 12:33).
This is a recent social media post from Elijah Drake, a sodomite being promoted by Asbury.
Elijah Drake writes on February 18, 2023
“I guess it took until the Asbury outpouring for some people to realize that gay people are in their churches, their pews, their choirs, their worship teams, their prayer groups, their youth groups, their seminaries, and all that. And they’re worthy of love and dignity and care.”
And, yes, these and all sinners are entitled to hear the divine command to repent and if they don’t, they are not to be allowed to remain as leaven, a cancer to spread and destroy others! Read 1 Corinthians 5.
It seems obvious that Elijah Drake is an infiltrator and has no intention of repenting.
One writer notes:
“We once allowed a Lesbian attendance in our congregation. This lasted long enough to determine she was not there to repent, but persuade. We showed her the door.” Tim
I agree with brother Tim on this one and any disciple who has ever dealt with homos will most likely agree – they are not there to repent but rather to infiltrate, to influence others into their evil.
To those insisting that this Asbury “revival” is from God, I’ve been sharing the following:
That doesn’t make this one a true revival at all. This is not an outpouring from God at all. At the very foundations Asbury is the promotion of that which GOD calls an “abomination” (Lev 18:22). They are promoting it…. take a look at link below and also these things are all to be TESTED and not just accepted. “Quench not the Spirit” (1 Th. 5:19). “Despise not prophesyings” (1 Th. 5:20). “Prove (test) all things; hold fast that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
Stacy Strother writes:
“There is soooo much evidence now, brought to the surface by men and women of God with a strong Spirit of discernment, that is compiled against that Asbury being a true Holy Ghost invoked revival. It is not my place to judge the heart, God does that, only the fruit. A feeling is not enough. It has to be fueled by Gods Word and not by desire for pushing an agenda, as we have discovered there. If you have a friend that went and they are a Christian, if that friend knew that the Asbury revival was connected to Catholicism, Universalism, Ecumenism, and the LGBTQ community, would they have thought it was of God? Hopefully not, or else, they will have proven where they stand in God. The devil is deceptive.
The last days ‘world religion’ will be of such candor. ‘Christians’ will turn against Christians and give them over to the magistrates.
The time is now. You are witnessing the last days one world religion forming before your eyes. The Bible said it would be this way.
The LGBTQ community is sifting their way into our lives, our communities, and our churches, forcing their beliefs and dividing the flock of Jesus – well the mere professors, from the authentic disciples of Christ who stand upon the Word of God as their final divine authority. Be prepared. It only gets worse – until Jesus appears. Discernment is a must have in todays religious world.
You can be sincere, but sincerely wrong. The Mormons are sincere, JW’s, Muslims, Catholics, oneness Pentecostals, all, sincere people.
The enemy isn’t going to come at us with a false looking deity like Hinduism or Buddhism have. He’s already done that. Nor is he going to come at us with a large dark shroud that can be easily spotted.
2 Corinthians 11:14
“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”
King James Version (KJV)
He is going to make it appear to be legit, and it’s not.”

Apostasy
Sorcery, Pharmakeia
Originally written by Allegra Spaulding (edited)
This is the Devil’s COUNTERFEIT of the natural healing herbs that the Lord has provided for us.
“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” Genesis 1:29
We choose what tree we will eat from……
If we eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, then we are receiving demonic knowledge. This is the knowledge from the fallen angels. This is the source of Pharmakeia.
“This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.” James 3:15
Babylon is the epicenter of this witchcraft.
“And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee (Babylon); and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries (Pharmakeia), were all nations deceived.” Revelation 18:23
Babylon is introducing the Beast System of Medicine. The trial run was the Covid 19 agenda which has killed millions of people through blood clots, turbo cancers, and heart failure. It was SORCERY against the nations conducted through the Spirit of Pharmakeia, which includes the witchcraft spirits of Control and Intimidation. People were forced to take a vac-c-ine in order to keep their jobs to feed their families. With devastating consequences. The third leading cause of death in the United States is medical procedures and pharmeseuticals (pharmakeia).
The Lord is calling us out of the system of Pharmakeia. He wants us to repent and separate ourselves.
“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4
There is a judgment coming upon the spirit of Pharmakeia and we do not want to be entangled with it.
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8
PHARMAKEUS translates to: a drug, i.e. spell-giving potion; a druggist (“pharmacist”) or poisoner, i.e. (by extension) a magician:—sorcerer.
We have better promises. We can feast on the Tree of Life for our medicine.
“And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.” Ezekiel 47:12
It’s time to get healthy and come out of the Babylonian Medical System. Shall we begin with prayer?
Lord Jesus, I repent for seeking the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil for knowledge about my health. I know that You have supplied for all of my needs through natural herbs and the leaves of the Tree of Life. You are the Tree of Life. In Jesus’ name.
May the ungodly soul-ties between myself and the spirit of Pharmakeia be broken now in Jesus’ name. May all the ungodly soul-ties between myself and the medical system, hospitals, doctors, and nurses be broken now in Jesus’ name.
May every curse spoken over this life You gave regarding sickness be broken and cancelled with every medical diagnosis, in Jesus’ name.
Thank You LORD Jesus that according to the Word of God, by Your stripes I am healed! And as I seek Your wisdom and Your knowledge that comes from Heaven.
Lord, please give me wisdom about food intake, about my lifestyle, and about these choices so that I can receive divine health. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” Revelation 22:1-2
“Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.” 1 Corinthians 10:21
“And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.” 2 Kings 1:16

Off The Chain! Mood Drugs Exposed [podcast]
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
In his prayer of repentance, the sweet psalmist of Israel, the beloved David, cried “Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit” (Psalms 51:12).
“I took these drugs for 20+ years and they are dangerous, highly addictive and can do lasting damage. They cure nothing and in many cases cause more long term problems. Depression is absolutely demonic in my experience. GOD is the only answer. Thank you for speaking the truth on this. I’ve found SO many are deceived and blinded by the world system and claim there’s nothing wrong with psych drugs and that God gave man the wisdom to create these. Total nonsense. Anti anxiety meds slow brain activity and are definitely linked to dementia.” Jen G
“I am really enjoying your podcasts and I really hate pills (drugs) as they create more health problems. I am learning every day how I have been deceived. It’s really quite shocking. Its the side effects to these awful medicine that concern me. That is why there so many people with Alzheimer’s and dementia might be the cause and then e additives and chemicals that the farmers spray. Devils cocktail seem like. I am going organic. I am so glad that I am getting washed by the Word. Amen.” Penny
Carol Burke writes:
“Romans 8:15 says ‘For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.’ Fear is a spirit that torments man to terrorize him internally, to not permit the fruit of the Holy Spirit to manifest internally to set men free. Thank You Lord! We need not fear as one that is in bondage to his master! I am no longer a slave but a son! Drugs is bondage!”
Mood Drug Madness is the Prophesied Antichrist Sorcery, Witchcraft Wielded Over all Who aren’t Truly In Christ (Revelation 18:23).
“…for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.” Revelation 18:23
Getting Honest is the First Step Toward Total Victory
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9
Jesus taught us that man’s sin comes out of his “desperately wicked” heart (Jer. 17:9; Mark 7:20-23).
The devil and his agents have created a million ways to divert us from stopping our lives, getting honest, taking personal responsibility, humbling ourselves, admitting our sins against God, and repenting.
“When David took his sin to God in Psalm 51 he took 100 percent responsibility! He did not blame Bathsheba and did not seek therapy or medications. He took his heart to God. Repented and pleaded with the Lord to forgive and cleanse him. And the Lord restored to him the joy of his salvation. David was truly broken before God. And the only answer he sought was the Lord.” Karen Cochran
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“There are legitimate diseases and drugs. This is rather broad. You break your leg you go to the doctor don’t you? Same for mental, mood problems, right? I wouldn’t argue against scripture… but I also couldn’t believe you are the judge of every person who is medically assisted. Not every illness is miraculously healed. We live in a fallen world.”
REPLY:
You are using human reasoning so I will not answer this question. Drugging demons and depression is a cheap counterfeit and a mere band aid. It has never nor ever will result in curing the root. Jesus alone can make the heart right, not doctors. Where did Jesus or any of His apostles prescribe a drug, especially for someone’s mental state? Memorize Colossians 2:8-10.
We are complete in Christ who is our Salvation and He did a perfect work and lives to provide what He died to purchase (1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:14-16; 7:24-26). | Christ Lives to Provide What He Died to Purchase
Drugs dull and numb the mind and put a person in an altered state, not to mention that they are also proven to damage the internal organ. This numbing of the mind is of diabolical design in order to lead rebels into eternal damnation.
What does 2 Timothy 1:7 say? Devils have legal right to the minds of every person who has not truly repented and is not currently abiding in Christ. Sin gives an open door, legal right to Satan. Memorize James 4:7. Notice when the demon possessed maniac at Gadara had those demons cast out by Jesus…. what happened? What was his mental state, his mood?
‘And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and IN HIS RIGHT MIND: and they were afraid.’ Mark 5:15
Jesus didn’t prescribe a drug and we are to do what He did and not to do what He didn’t do. In fact He specifically commanded us to do such:
‘And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;’ Mark 16:17
Are those who take mood drugs, drugging demons?
This message in no way declares that every human malady is healed miraculously. This post does absolutely challenge with the Bible the idea of drugging our minds to effect our mood, our spiritual or psychological state. I am judging you as being biblical illiterate (John 7:24; 8:47) and certainly put no trust in your mere human reasoning or mind. Show us all one place in the Bible where Jesus, His apostles, or prophets ever prescribed a drug for a person’s mental, spiritual, psychological state? Waiting…. you gave no Scripture so apparently your trust is in something else other than God’s Word. You would do well to get into the Word.
Are you blessed or cursed?
‘Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.’ Jeremiah 17:5
Luke was a physician. God provides them. Yet the LORD is a Jealous God who is the only Soul-ution for our spirit, soul, and body (2 Chronicles 16:12). Drugging ourselves for our mental, spiritual, psychological state is something the LORD supplies through the fruit of the Spirit – love, joy, peace, etc. (Galatians 5:22-23).
The battle that rages is a spiritual battle. We shall suffer such attacks in the flesh as long as we are on earth and so submitting ourselves afresh in prayer to the LORD as you did is essential in the victory. Memorizing James 4:7 is amazing!!!
To say one needs a drug for his mood is to say Jesus didn’t do a complete work (2 Timothy 1:7). WHAT are the 9 dimensions of the ‘fruit of the Spirit’ which are born and alive in every truly abiding saint of Christ? (See Galatians 5:22-23.) There is no such thing as a disciple of Jesus, blessed with the fruit of the Holy Spirit – love, joy, peace – that takes a drug for their mood. They don’t need such a cheap demonic counterfeit.
Psalm 51 – after we seek the LORD in true repentance, He cleanses us, and restores unto us ‘the joy of thy salvation’ which is a whole, complete salvation – spirit, soul, mind, body (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
So if a Christian is taking a mood drug, are they trusting Christ or the drug?
‘And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.’ 2 Chronicles 16:12
So, will we trust the Great Physician or the worlds physicians?
The sin of unbelief (Hebrews 3-4).
‘How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! 41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and LIMITED THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL. 42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.’ Psalms 78:40-42
There are so very many people who claim to be Christ’s yet they don’t listen to Christ – His written Word. No, they have no time to revel in ‘ALL things that pertain to life and godliness’ found in the ‘exceeding great and precious promises’ of the Word of God (2 Peter 1:3-4). Yet, these same people do spend endless energy and time listening to and obeying this fallen world’s mere human ‘experts.’ Sad. Telling. Bad fruit. Spiritual adultery. Hell awaits.
‘Thou shalt have no other gods before me.’ Exodus 20:3
Limiting God is a sin. Unbelief. ‘Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and LIMITED THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL’ (Psalms 78:41).
Are we forgetting the benefits the LORD provided in His perfect salvation?
‘Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:’ Psalms 103:2
We live in a drug-crazed, drug-dependent world. Isn’t using a drug for our mental, psychological, and spiritual state not an indictment upon our glorious LORD God who gave His only begotten Son for our redemption, our wholeness, our salvation? When He saves us we are born again and the divine Holy Spirit dwells in us, His temples (1 Corinthians 3:16). We are new creatures in Christ and yet by gullibly allowing a mere man to prescribe a drug, we forfeit the blessing of God (2 Corinthians 5:17-18). Repentance needed for ‘an evil heart of unbelief’ (Hebrews 3:12-15). God doesn’t band aid things, He heals and makes whole to the root. Dare we accuse the Almighty of shorting us, of the sacrifice of His Son not being enough, not providing a complete salvation?
“Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.” Jeremiah 17:14
A mood drug is a band aid for the unrepentant – not the divine solution.
Got depression? Are you seeking the LORD in true repentance whereby He will grant you great joy? (Psalms 51; 2 Timothy 1:7)
Sin is the Root of all of Man’s Problems: Drugs are Never the Solution
Depression is merely the result of sin, of living in sin. Period. No stupid medicine has or ever will solve such. Only Jesus can and did solve man’s sin dilemma. Surrendering in repentant to the Savior is sin’s solution and all the evil it brings such as depression (Romans 6:23).
“Die to self! My depression left once I fully surrendered to the Lord my wicked self! Depression is all the result of you trying to do it in your own strength! And being stuck in self! Humbly surrender to God and He will lift you up out of the horrible pit (which is what depression is), the miry clay (despair) and set your feet upon the rock of Jesus! Then He will put a new song in your heart! A song of praise and thanksgiving to the Lord! (Psalm 40:2-3). The joy of the Lord will be your strength! (Nehemiah 8:10). Alleluia!” Karen Cochran
David had sinned grossly. He cried out to the LORD in sincere repentance. What happened that restored ‘the JOY of thy salvation’ to this man after God’s own heart? Can anyone find a mood drug in this divine prescription or anywhere in God’s Word?
‘Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 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.’ Psalms 51:8-12
Upon authentic repentance, David was restored to the joy of the LORD and upheld, uplifted by the Holy Spirit of God.
Those who refuse to truly repent and lay down their lives in this fleeting world are subjected and relegated to dependence on the world’s cheap substitutes which never get to the root of the issue but rather only mask it with a band aid. Until they see this for the sin it is, the sin of unbelief – out of ‘an evil heart of unbelief’ -they shall remain unstable, unsound, and in bondage to a drug (Hebrews 3:12-15).
THOSE WHO FOLLOW JESUS DON’T NEED AN ANTIDEPRESSANT BECAUSE THEY ARE FULL OF THE JOY OF THE LORD.
‘For the joy of the LORD is your strength.’ Nehemiah 8:10
The true born again disciple of Jesus, abiding daily in Him, is full of His divine ‘Love, JOY, peace…’ (Galatians 5:22-23) Such an authentic follower of Jesus doesn’t walk in ‘the counsel of the ungodly’ but rather in the counsel, the Word of God ‘and in his law doth he meditate day and night’ (Psalms 1). The joy of the LORD is our strength and abides and remains in His abiding disciples – so they have need of nothing, no counterfeit, no cheap substitute for what God provides!
‘These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.’ John 15:11
Never Underestimate the Power of Jesus!
As you read this fascinating story of maniacal demon possession, to solve this problem, ask what solution Jesus provided. Did the Son of God prescribe a drug, send someone to the doctor, or cast out the devils?
“And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea. And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine. And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts. And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.” Mark 5:1-20
Here was a demon possessed maniac who was so overcome by the devil that he terrorized the whole town of Gadara, cried aloud, stripped himself, cut himself, and broke the chains that held him bound – until Jesus broke his chain! He was then off the chain – completely set free and “sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind” (Mk. 5:15).
The power of God changed this man’s life as it is changing lives today around the world. Jesus set this bound soul free from all those devils that had taken residence inside him and gave this man a sound mind! God be praised! God will take off the chain that binds every soul that hears and obeys His Gospel.
This once demon possessed maniacal man was now restored by Heaven’s King who came “to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10).
“The thief (Satan) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10
WHEN we see humanity being stolen from, robbed, killed, destroyed, through sin and Satan, we must see through the eyes of Jesus, His Word.
“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.” Ephesians 6:12
EVERY person we deal with, is a precious soul Jesus created and died for. Their outer shell might be very ugly, destroyed, nasty…. yet they are an eternal soul Jesus died and was raised again to save.
Father, please help us see Your truth, reality via Your kingdom eyes. Open our eyes that we might see as You see. In Jesus’ name LORD.
How did our LORD deal with the maniac at Gadara? He did not condemn, He cured!
Jesus came to save, to set men free from sin and Satan! We are His hands and feet in the earth!
God is Greater than all Falsehood
“Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar…” Romans 3:3-4
While in a retail location (car dealership) I was quickened by the Spirit to minister to a certain man in his 20’s. As I moved toward him, I saw what looked like an open Bible on his work station desk so I asked about it and he said “No, this is a Quran.” I said “Oh okay” and never slowed down or broke stride (by God’s grace) to worry about what diversionary tactic the enemy was using against this precious soul. So, immediately, with a hand of compassion on his shoulder, looked him in the eye and began to lovingly tell Him how much Jesus loved Him and died for his sins and that Christ was the only Person in history who foretold His own death, burial, and resurrection, and then accomplished it all, rising from the dead after dying on that cross on Calvary’s hill. I told him how that He is alive right now and forevermore to save to the uttermost! I shared with this man that only Jesus Christ bares nailed-scarred hands and feet to prove He is the very Son of God and paid the only price that propitiates (atones) for our sins, satisfying the claims of the Father’s justice. By this point this man’s eyes were filled with tears. The Holy Spirit was touching his searching heart which can never be filled or satisfied by anything but Christ, the Prince of peace, whose love and truth is communicated in and through His Word.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” John 3:16-17
The tears in this man’s eyes, emanating from his broken soul, can be a reminder to our understanding that God made all souls and that He can and will find and touch anyone He chooses through His Word, Spirit, and servants! (See Ezek. 18:4.) Never believe a lie or system of lies to be greater than the power of your God! The Jehovah Witness, Mormon, Islamic, Catholic religions are merely man-made religions and unlike the Gospel, have no power to redeem! The divine Person of the Holy Ghost is only behind and confirming the true Gospel with signs following, the greatest sign being the new birth in the hearts of men! (See Mk. 16:15-20; Jn. 3:3, 7; Tit. 3:5-6.) Only the Person and Gospel of Jesus Christ transforms lives completely – from the inside out! Only God can grant the new birth!
Could there possibly be any message in the world greater or more powerful than the one given by the One who made all things?
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16
“Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29
Only God can truly change a life from the inside out! Only Jesus can turn a heart of stone into a heart of flesh! (See Ezek. 36:25-27.) The Gospel is superior to any other system of religion. Nothing compares to the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ that has saved and sanctified millions of precious souls the world over and is still marching on across the nations, one heart at a time. Fear not – “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 Jn. 4:4). Saints, let us simply and obediently communicate God’s truth in love and watch Jesus work to save! – “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase” (1 Cor. 3:6). He has promised to bless as you obey!
Jesus Never Fails!
Didn’t Jesus reach into your own hardened and wretched soul, interrupting your life of sin and save you?! If so, is He not able to do the same in others? Didn’t He tell us that His infinitely mighty arm is not shorted or hindered and that His ear is not closed and that He is able to save to the uttermost? (See Isa. 59:1-2; Heb. 7:24-26.) Let’s look at these words in Hebrews 7 – makes me want to shout with joy at the depth of divine revelation of His love and grace evident in this passage:
“But this man (Jesus), because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.” Hebrews 7:24-26
Christ came in the volume of the book of which it is written to break the chains of sin and Satan and lies!
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:18
Why Did Jesus Come?
“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1 Timothy 1:15
“For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8
There is only ONE Glorious Gospel Revealing One Unique Savior!
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” 2 Corinthians 4:3-7
The glorious Gospel of Jesus can go into the depths of the soul, convict, draw and save! Heavenly Father please forgive our unbelief and increase our faith, in Jesus’ name!
I must say that I was pleasantly surprised at the way Jesus touched the heart of this searching soul who was looking at someone else other than to the LORD for answers. His understanding had been diverted. My surprised response perhaps underscores the unbelief in my heart. God forgive me for counting the lies of Satan greater than the stone-crushing, devil-exterminating power of God’s eternal truth (Jer. 23:29). Never prejudge – just obey because “to obey is better than sacrifice” (1 Sam. 15:22). Always know that God’s Word never returns to Him void but always accomplishes that which He desires (Isa. 55:11).
In this late hour Christ is opening eyes and shattering the chains of darkness that bind so many – no matter what flavor of deception the enemy has used to blind them. The Holy Spirit and Word of God will break through to those who choose to have ears to hear. O LORD let the Gospel be heard from those whom He has found and redeemed – “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy” (Ps. 107:2). Father please open doors for the ministry of Your Word. Open hearts and redeem souls Jesus! Our LORD Jesus came “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me” (Acts 26:18).
JESUS came to make captives free. SATAN’s agents seek to put you in bondage! (Luke 4:18; John 10:10; Galatians 2:4-5; 5:1)
As the demon-possessed maniac at Gadara experienced, to those who hear, repent, and believe, Christ, the power of God, is the chain–breaking, shackle-shattering Savior and LORD!
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:18
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life.” 2 Corinthians 2:14-16
As we are blessed to communicate God’s love and Word, He is going to deliver souls and take people off the chain the enemy has bound them with!
“It is a spiritual issue. Was in my room reading then started getting all these thoughts to kill myself. It started getting louder I knew this was a demonic attack and I was being tested! I thought I was losing my mind but Jesus came through and protected me! Showed me what he was trying to show me through a fiery trial. It’s all spiritual! I’ve never had thoughts like that in my entire life. No explanation. Praise Jesus!!” Nicole
Do you think that if some believer had gotten to this searching man first and gave him a Bible and communicated the Gospel, that it would have prevented the deception of a foreign religion from encroaching upon his precious soul?
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.” Mark 16:15-20
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“So what are you saying people shouldn’t take antidepressants when they have a lack of serotonin in their brain which is why you take antidepressants?”
REPLY:
Is that the real answer? WHO gave that diagnosis? WHERE is our trust? Is GOD not enough to heal that supposed ailment if it’s true in the first place? Remember, doctors have to come up with a “diagnosis” in order to prescribe a drug. That’s how they make their money.
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“Have you ever suffered with a mental illness?”
REPLY:
Is it real? Is the issue material or spiritual? That’s where so many have bought the lie from the world’s doctors instead of going to the Word of God. It’s time to cease making excuse, repent, get into the Word and obey God. HE alone is our Salvation and will bring perfect wholeness just as we see Him doing in the Gospels (1 Thessalonians 5:23). This is a spiritual issue and James 4:7 gives the divine solution to shutting Satan out:
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
PRAYER: Glorious LORD Jesus, please forgive my evil heart of unbelief and grant my heart a fresh start this moment! I repent now of all the idolatry, and spiritual adultery, evil unbelief, and how I’ve not trusted You but rather mere men. Thank You for Your infinite power and desire to redeem men and thank You for finding and saving me dear LORD. I love You LORD Jesus and thank You so much that You had no beginning and have no end and have always been and ever live to make intercession for the souls of men who will come to You for Your salvation which includes their spirit, soul, and body. Your salvation is complete and provides for the whole person of those You redeem. Please make me whole – spirit, soul, and body. Grant a sound heart and sound mind and body. As Your people fervently await Your soon return, please open up doors to joyfully communicate Your eternal Gospel to others! In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
