THE BIBLICAL CASE FOR EXPOSÉ
Excerpt from the book Deceivers and False Prophets Among Us
“Excellent teaching! Thank you. So needed in these last days. As we now see a false Jesus being presented. And many will defend this false Christ, so they can continue in their sin and live how they please. We should expect to be attacked when exposing them to the truth. They are fake Christians. Titus 1:16 ‘They profess they know God; but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient and unto every good work reprobate.'” Karen Cochran
Know the Truth and Do Not Conceal Lies or Liars
“Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him.” Deuteronomy 13:8
Never “consent” to nor “conceal” an enemy of God lest you be the enemy of the LORD.
In Deuteronomy 13, we are instructed not to “conceal” a false prophet. In this specific case the LORD tells His people not to “conceal” any prophet who accurately foretells the future (prophesies), which actually does come to pass, yet seeks to lead God’s people astray through false teaching.
Those who have empathy for Satan’s agents and no mercy for those they’ve deceived and hurt, are pitifully demonic. Repent now you vile devil or you will go irrevocably to the same hell as those evil doers you defend! (Ezekiel 14:10; 2 Peter 2:1-3; 2 John 10-11)
The LORD is calling us to maturity in His holy fear. We are to come to the place where we refuse to conceal or hide any person operating as a Christian leader who is leading God’s people astray through his false doctrine.
The Deuteronomy 13 text holds an extremely important discernment key that will surely help save people from the deceptions that abound in today’s church-world. So many Christians today believe that, where there are miracles or accurate prophecies, it has to be of God. They do not consider though that the devil has always had power to unleash miracles.
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders. ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:9
A plethora of “strange fire” experiences and phenomena are being pawned off as being from God (Lev.10:1-2).
One of the biggest errors believers make is thinking that any miracle automatically validates that phenomenon as proceeding from divine origin. This is simply not true. All miracles, signs, and wonders are not from God. “Satan” works in our midst “with all power and signs and lying wonders.”
Deuteronomy 13:8 tells us not to “conceal” those who work against the LORD by leading people away from Him while claiming to be one of His leaders. God instructs us NOT to hide, make excuse for, or in any way cover for deceitful workers, and if we do, we become enemies of the Almighty.
The exposing of those who have determined to undermine the doctrines of the LORD is a matter of walking in obedience and truthfulness. “Lie not against the truth” (James 3:14).
Did you realize that those who befriend God’s enemies become the LORD’s enemies?
And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer (prophet) went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the LORD? Therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD. ~ 2 Chronicles 19:2
King Jehoshaphat was a godly king, yet the LORD allowed “wrath” to fall upon his life in a measure, due to his unholy alliance with Ahab, an ungodly man in a leadership position. Unholy alliances bring God’s “wrath” and destruction to our lives. Do you have any? Have you inventoried those you are condoning and with whom you are aligned and supporting? Have you developed an unnatural, an unholy soul tie with a certain preacher? Do you realize the idolatrous nature of such?
The LORD sees and does not take it lightly when we side with His enemies. Deceivers and false teachings are His enemies—they are most insidiously at war against Him. While claiming to be of Him, these wolves in sheep’s clothing are in reality agents of the enemy of all souls.
That is what makes truth-twisting beguilers so effective amidst the undiscerning who are not rooted and grounded in the Word and using it as their grid to measure all things by. Remember Matthew 7:15?
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. ~ Matthew 7:15
Perhaps we have all perpetuated the ministries of fruitless and false leaders in days past—ministries that are not grounding people in God’s Word. With the enlightening of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, we should cease from ever aligning with God’s enemies again. All who condone such subversive dissimulation will be turned over to God’s “wrath” as king Jehoshaphat did. Those who go on giving God’s money to fruitless deceivers fuel the work of evil against Christ and the precious souls He died to save—whether they realize it or not. By participating with these “deceitful workers” in giving God’s supply, by giving offerings to fruitless corrupt ministries, one becomes an accessory to the fact. When we do such, we contribute to the subversion of divine truth and the subsequent weakening of the body of Christ, which is the LORD’s prize possession, the very “apple of his eye” (Deut. 32:10).
Beloved, these men are posing as Christ’s representatives, holding positions over His people, and anyone who fuels these agents with financial support, etc., is also guilty of the grave sins they are committing in their deliberate omissions and commissions (Isa. 5:20-24).
Speaking of partaking with those who are not fit for ministry, the Holy Spirit commands: “…neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure” (1 Timothy 5:22).
All giving, and support of any kind should be concentrated and focused upon those who are truly bearing the fruit of the Spirit and walking in and disseminating kingdom truth under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
Are we helping the LORD’s enemies? Didn’t He tell us to expose them? That is, bring these lies to the light with divine truth? See Ephesians 5:11.
Notice again what the LORD asks of His people:
Shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the LORD? ~ 2 Chronicles 19:2
Then let’s note what he declared concerning Jehoshaphat’s allegiance to God’s enemies:
Therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD. ~ 2 Chronicles 19:2
Concerning this text, Donald Stamps writes:
Jehoshaphat is rebuked for associating with Ahab and helping this enemy of God (cf. Ch. 18). Believers should not associate with the ungodly if in that relationship the cause of unrighteousness is advanced, our commitment to God is jeopardized, or the truth of God’s Word is compromised. (Life in the Spirit Study Bible, p. 670)
Befriending and condoning those who work against the LORD can violate our relationship with Him. The LORD calls this adultery:
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. ~ James 4:4
Concerning this verse, the Life in the Spirit Study Bible notes:
Friendship of the world is spiritual adultery, i.e., unfaithfulness to God and our pledge of commitment to Him (1 John 2:15-17; cf. Isa. 54:5; Jer. 3:20). It involves embracing the world’s sin, values, and evil pleasures. God will not accept such friendship (Matt. 6:24), for He is a jealous God (Ex. 20:5; Deut. 5:9).
One example of such friendship is secret orders (e.g., lodge membership) that demand unscriptural religious oaths and a strong binding with unbelievers, both of which are forbidden in God’s Word (Matt. 5:33-37; 2 Cor. 6:14). Believers cannot belong to such orders without compromising Christian doctrine (cf. 2 Pet. 3:16), godly standards, and their loyalty to Christ. (Life in the Spirit Study Bible, p. 1974)
Consider the following severe warning of condoning deceit and falsehood:
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. ~ Proverbs 17:15
He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him. ~ Proverbs 24:24
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. ~ Isaiah 5:20-25
Ever hear these Bible truths in your local church? If not, why not? Why are these important truths being ignored and hidden from the eyes of the people?
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation (openly and forthrightly revealing) of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:2
From this text above and others, it is abundantly clear the “dishonesty” of “handling the word of God deceitfully” by not openly declaring the whole of divine counsel.
Ignatius pleaded:
Brethren, be not deceived. If any man follows him that separates from the truth, he shall not inherit the kingdom of God; and if any man does not stand aloof from the preacher of falsehood, he shall be condemned to hell. For it is obligatory neither to separate from the godly, nor to associate with the ungodly. If any one walks according to a strange opinion, he is not of Christ, nor a partaker of His passion; but is a fox, a destroyer of the vineyard of Christ. Have no fellowship with such a man, lest ye perish along with him, even should he be thy father, thy son, as your enemies, and separate yourselves from them, while yet you ad-monish them, and exhort them to repentance, if it may be they thy brother, or a member of thy family. For says [the Scripture], “Thine eye shall not spare him.” You ought therefore to “hate those that hate God, and to waste away [with grief] on account of His enemies.” I do not mean that you should beat them or persecute them, as do the Gentiles “that know not the LORD and God;” but that you should regard them will hear, if it may be they will submit themselves. For our God is a lover of mankind, and “will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (The Epistle of Ignatius to the Philadelphians 3:13-20)
Unfortunately, the evangelical church-world is filled with people who have never been discipled in God’s Word. They have not been taught that the written Word is the final authority and to be studied diligently and daily. Instead, they have been taught that the Ph.D. or degree their pastor has is what carries authority, or the denomination of which they are a part. Because of this, so many in the Christian world have such a propensity to pander to personalities and experiences instead of the unchanging, eternal truth. Herein lies the separating factor of the tares and wheat (Jn. 8:47).
Loving Truth, and Hating “Every False Way”
Hate the evil and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate. ~ Amos 5:15
We are commanded to “Hate the evil and love the good.” Loving the LORD who is holy and hating evil go hand in hand (Ps. 97:10). The two cannot be separated. Some believers have the erroneous view that Christians are to be passive and “loving” and not engage in confidently and wisely upholding God’s glory in defense of His eternal truth. While perhaps there is the occasion where the Holy Spirit will quicken His saint to be silent, there is also the command to “earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints” (Jude 3-4).
Those true to the LORD are never to hate people (Matt. 5:44), but we are to “hate every false way.” In fact, if we really love people, we will share God’s glorious truth with them. According to the Son of God, only obedience to His truth makes men free (Jn. 8:31-32, 36).
Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. ~ Psalm 119:104
Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. ~ Psalm 119:128
The psalmist stated, “I hate every false way.” Any “way” that doesn’t align biblically (contextually) is considered to be a “false way” and to be hated by those made righteous by Christ’s grace and blood.
There are numerous evil lies, “winds of doctrine,” and “false ways” in the very midst of the church-world today vying for your approval, so they can pervert the image of the one, true God in your mind and heart (Eph. 4:14; Ps. 119:104, 128). Do you have virus protection against these contaminants? Or, are you catching every germ and ailment that blows in?
The LORD is calling His people to get out of the business of prognosticating who He is and rather to obediently take Him at His Word, imagining nothing about Him that their very own eyes do not behold in His holy Word (2 Tim.2:15; 3:16-17). There is nothing more essential to the safeguarding of the soul.
The LORD told us why some of His people are being destroyed: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge… thou hast forgotten the law of thy God” (Hosea 4:6). When His pure words abide in our spiritually nourished hearts, His perfect image will also be embossed upon the table of our hearts, so that the image of a false god has no place in us.
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments…Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart. ~ Proverbs 3:1, 3
Those who refuse to hear and embrace God’s Word worship the image of false gods.
This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. ~ Jeremiah 13:10
Friend, do you love the LORD and His truth? Are you filling your heart and mind daily with His words so that His holy image is being transmitted to and etched upon your heart?
He knows that a saint without a knowledge of the Gospel is as vulnerable as an army without ammunition…For it is God’s Word which teaches us how to put on Christ and His graces so that we are fitly armed. Never flatter yourself into thinking you can do this without this priceless book. We have all known those who content themselves with a profession of Christ and a smattering of gifts and works, and do not wish to know if there is more to the Christian life. They are the ones whose graces freeze when the winter winds buffet their souls. But the saint whose faith has been insulated from error by the truth of the Gospel will be able to withstand all Satan’s icy blasts. ~ William Gurnall, The Christian in Complete Armor
When we do not fill our hearts, minds, and lives with God’s Word, we are doomed to sin, deception, failure and destruction. In Hosea 4:6, notice the phrase “thou hast rejected knowledge.” Beloved, is there anything in your life that is more important than learning the precepts of your Savior? Knowing His Word is our safeguard (Ps.17:4; Acts 20:32). Those who refuse to study and live out His words will be destroyed. This is a divine promise (Hos. 4:6; Matt. 22:29). The knowledge of and obedience to the truth is the only safeguard to the myriad of deceptions circulating in this last hour.
Leadership and the Truth
Jesus validated the Old Testament Scriptures as His own. The Son of God made over 100 references to Holy Scripture. Jesus never relies upon spiritual notions, oral traditions, or men’s doctrines, but Scripture alone. Let’s follow the LORD’s pattern of relying upon Scripture—the eternal Standard and Truth. “Have ye not read…have ye not read in the law…have ye never read…Did ye never read in the scriptures” (Matt. 12:3, 5; 21:16, 42).
Be assured that any person in leadership who does not ardently seek to ground people in the written, living, and eternal Word of God is not following the LORD. He is not leading people to the Fountain of Living Waters nor giving them spiritual viral protection from the numerous deceivers and deceptions our LORD promised would precede His return.
Christ and His apostles directed God’s people to the Scriptures in order to assure their sound grounding, spiritual growth, and protection (Jn. 5:39; 2 Tim. 2:15; 3:15-17; 1 Pet. 1:23-25; 2:2; 2 Pet. 1:3-4; 19-21). All of God’s servant-leaders are to foster and cultivate in His disciples a deep desire and love for the Word and its final authority. Where this is not being done, people are learning to trust in something other than the LORD, mere human leaders, which is idolatry, and they are prone and susceptible to the insidious deception of so-called godly leaders.
Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. ~ Psalm 119:4
“Love Sails within the Banks of Truth”
Beloved, no matter with whom you are spiritually aligned on earth, you are personally responsible to know the LORD for yourself and to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Tim. 2:15).
To know the LORD and His Word will equip us to discern who/what is true and who/what is not. We will, thereby, be able to establish truth and mark the false, warning others of the same (1 Tim. 4:6, 16). All darkness is to be probed, investigated, and brought to the light using the truth (Eph. 5).
Are there local and world-famous false prophets at work in the evangelical world who need to be marked so that people can be protected from their deceptions? If so, what do they look like and how do they act? If there are real live deceivers operating in the church-world, are they to be exposed by those true to the LORD, or passed over and ignored? Are people to be made aware of their false teachings?
The following excerpt was taken from Myfortress.org in an article entitled “Christian Leaders”:
How could it be so popular and be wrong? How can they talk of Jesus and be wrong? Who am I to judge them? Why don’t we Christians just love each other? Who are we to criticize the church?
These sentiments sound so pious and spiritual, when in fact they are the lies of the enemy. Love sails within the banks of truth, we cannot have unity apart from truth. One Christian leader states it well, “Those who do speak out inevitably are branded divisive, strident or unloving. The legacy of such a position is not unity and peace, but confusion and turmoil…In fact, love apart from truth is nothing more than hypocritical sentimentality. That sentimentality is running rampant in evangelicalism today.”
There are ministry sites that contain lists of dozens of today’s false teachers and documented quotes from their own books, TV appearances, etc.
Let us no more deny Christ our LORD by hiding Satan’s agents and their lies which are destroying and have “devoured souls” (Isa. 9:16; Ezek. 22:25). Such is counted treason in the Supreme Court of the Universe.
Simply put, it doesn’t matter what you think: The LORD has commanded that Satan’s ministers, his human emissaries, be exposed. Time to shut up and obey! (2 Corinthians 11:12-15)
But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed (disguised) into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. I say again, Let no man think me a fool… ~ 2 Corinthians 11:12-16
Like all who authentically follow Jesus, Paul sought to “cut off occasion” from “false apostles, deceitful workers” and instructed that for doing such, “Let no man think me a fool.”
Paul ends this revelation of Satan’s “ministers” by saying “Let no man think me a fool.” Friend, do you still view men who expose lies and deceptions as fools? If so, you oppose the LORD Himself and His mandate upon all who will servant-lead in His kingdom (1 Thess. 4:8).
Concerning those who uncover Satan and his ministers, one pastor of old stated this:
We have been likened by one of our opponents to the boy in the fable who cried, “Wolf!” The parallel only fails in the all-important point that he cried “Wolf!” when there was none, and we are crying “Wolf!” when packs of them are howling so loudly that it would be superfluous for us to shout at all if a wretched indifferentism had not brought a deep slumber upon those who ought to guard the flocks. The evidence is to our mind so overwhelming that we thought that our statements only gave voice to a matter of common notoriety. Either we are dreaming, or our brethren are; let the godly judge who it is that is asleep.
The Call to Stand
When addressing the Ephesian Christians in Revelation 2, Jesus commends them for testing leaders and identifying those who were “liars” (counterfeits) and hating the “deeds” of those in leadership who sought to exercise an evil control over God’s people, “Nicolaitans” (Rev. 2:6, 15). The unchanging LORD Jesus Christ commends today those who do the same.
God-fearing men of every generation since Abel have cried out against the majority of false prophets and false teachers of their generations. Whose side are you on?
Will you side with God or the father of lies? (Jn. 8:44)
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? ~ Psalm 94:16
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. ~ 2 Chronicles 16:9
It is unadulterated hypocrisy to say we know the LORD while we speak against those who obey God in exposing falsehoods and valiantly execute justice and truth. No blessing from the LORD can possibly come from such dissimulation. Repentance is needed for this sin.
The Curse of Meroz
The curse of Meroz expresses the anger of the LORD against those who do not stand when they should, but rather withhold the good fight they should earnestly wage when error is present (1 Tim. 6:12). It is judgment for not standing.
Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty. ~ Judges 5:23
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. ~ Proverbs 3:27
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. ~ Matthew 25:45
It is clear from these and many other Bible texts that those who omit doing good to others when they are given the opportunity will suffer judgment from the LORD. This includes doing good by speaking the truth in love to defend the Gospel and protect saints.
Notice that the very reason the people of Meroz were cursed was “because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.”
Where is the divinely given compassion that moved Christ? (See Matt. 9:36.) Like the apostle Paul, do we care enough to protect the saints of God from being spoiled? (See Acts 20:20-32; Col. 1:27-29; 2:8)
The Blessing of Jael
Praise the LORD for the colossal example of the love of God in action in the life of a God-fearing woman named Jael!
Divine blessing pronounced and imparted for vigilant righteousness:
Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above the women in the tent. He asked water, and she gave him milk (lured him in); she brought forth butter in a lordly dish. She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples. At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down; at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead…So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years. ~ Judges 5:24-27, 31
Jael stood for the LORD and His truth. Will we? Will you?
Who will instill this example in the hearts of the young of our day?
You may think some women are controlled by their emotions instead of divine truth, but not Jael. Jael feared God and was valiant for His truth.
Marking false doctrines and those who teach them boils down to whom we serve. With whom will we be identified and who will we serve? God’s Word gives us clear instructions. It only remains to be seen whether or not we will truly lose our own lives, in order to love, embrace, and stand for His glory above ourselves. Persecutions and false accusations are guaranteed to those who do, and so is eternal reward (Matt. 5:10-12; 10:22; Jn. 15:19-20; 2 Tim. 3:12).
The Phinehas Blessing: Generational Blessing and Reward for Spearing Sin
This Bible text offers quite a powerful lesson in vigilance. The following Bible story is a landmark case for exposé:
And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed (stopped) from the children of Israel. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealously. Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace: And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel. ~ Numbers 25:6-13
What is the spear of Phinehas? Today, why do we need such a spear like never before?
In Phinehas’ day, there was a deceiver and false prophet behind the false doctrines which were leading God’s people to be turned over to and live in sin. A false prophet named Balaam had been leading the people of God astray with His idolatrous gospel of greed, fornication, license to sin, when Phinehas rose up. Like today, the people were being led away from the Almighty through false teaching of this false prophet named Balaam. Sin abounded as a result of the false doctrines, and it was all Phinehas could take. He met the challenge of lies with the spear of divine truth. Holy, divine, and righteous indignation welled up in his heart, as he took aim with his javelin.
This valiant warrior of divine truth drove a spear through the sin that was destroying God’s people. God-fearing Christians today are to harpoon evil teachings that lead His saints astray and shut up the kingdom of Heaven to those who would otherwise enter in (Matt. 23:13). It is the work of the LORD, who is a “man of war,” to spear those teachings that give people a wrong view of God’s nature which will ultimately lead them into sin, false hope, despair, and damnation (Exodus 15:3).
Phinehas laid an axe at the root of the sin that was caused by the false teaching of Balaam the false prophet.
Phinehas stands as a monumental example of the righteous indignation of the LORD working through one of His children. Like this warrior of truth, we should be courageous to identify and mark falsehoods. The blessing of the LORD is upon all who do His work by marking and exposing false teaching.
Judges 5:23-24—a curse or a blessing? Have you marked this text in your Bible? Perhaps, like valiant Phinehas, some of us need to begin by driving a harpoon through the spiritual fornication that is occurring in our own hearts. Then we will be fit to be used as was Phinehas. Just as Phinehas was rewarded and blessed by the LORD for his zeal in ridding the camp of sin, so the LORD will reward those who are zealous for His truth in this hour. Those who will stand for the purity of His truth in the midst of His people will have a divine blessing pronounced and bestowed upon them.
The call and question remains:
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? Psalm 94:16
Sentimentally pandering to men’s personalities reveals a gross lack of the fear of God which is promised to bring a snare (Prov. 29:25). Fearing men is sin. In the case of identifying and exposing false teachers, we must first rid our own lives and hearts of all self-idolatry and false teaching. Perhaps self-love is at the root of our lack of vigilance. Jesus taught that the one who would follow Him must “deny himself” (Lk. 9:23). Notice, the LORD didn’t teach what so many “Christian” leaders erroneously teach today—self-esteem, which is self-love. Jesus and His apostles taught God-esteem and others-esteem, not self-esteem (Phil. 2:3-5). When we authentically esteem Christ and the members of His “little flock,” we will be bold and valiant in His holy truth (Lk. 12:32).
According to Psalm 149, the saints of God are to be joyful in glory and to go forth with His holy praise in their mouths and the sharp sword of the Word in their hand to execute vengeance upon the enemies of the LORD by uncovering the schemes of His arch enemy who works deceitfully through false prophets and their deadly teachings. Jesus said that the “violent” are to take by force the kingdom from those who are in our midst to devour His sheep (Matt. 11:12). Jesus came to “destroy the works of the devil” and “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” (1 Jn. 3:8; Acts 26:18).
Correct doctrine and living are always the fruit of a crucified life (Jn. 7:17-18; 2 Tim. 3:10).
Satan’s Most Effective Agents Are Disguised As “Christians”
Shame on every local pastor who is so busy building his own little kingdom, program, and building-fund projects instead of tending to the people God has given him to build up.
Be diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. ~ Proverbs 27:23
Since so many pastors are seeking to erect and/or embellish themselves with physical buildings and to expand their own influence, they have no time to “Be diligent to know the state” of their “flocks.” Many of our leaders simply are not tending to the people the LORD has mandated them to oversee.
Since the kingdom of God is within the LORD’s people, this is what is to be built—with His Word, prayer, and serving.
The kingdom of God is within you. ~ Luke 17:21
Those who oppose the naming of names and uncovering of false doctrines are dead wrong. At the root of those who complain and balk about Christ’s servants who do the divine work of exposing false teachings and teachers, is a rebellious heart. This is the fruit of a heart full of cowardice in contrast to the valiant, warrior-like heart that is courageous to perform the truth of the LORD and Savior.
Satan loves self-serving, agreeable, smooth, spineless little “Christian” people who hide his evil agents, and all in the name of “love, tolerance and acceptance.” This type of false love is betrayal and seems to be characteristic of those who outwardly claim to be Christians, and yet live their sin-justified daily lives unto themselves.
William Macdonald writes:
Tolerance can be a virtue, but it can also betray an inexcusable weakness of character. We admire the person who tolerates differences where no great issue is at stake. He allows for a variety of preferences, methods and unimportant viewpoints. He would rather be killed for a sheep than for a lamb.
But there is another tolerance that is despicable. This is the willingness to remain silent when God’s name is blasphemed or when Christ is dishonoured. It is the treachery of silence when truth is on the scaffold. It is the unwillingness to speak out against evil. Tolerance that condones deceit and unrighteousness is sin.
Those who think that Jesus was always tolerant should read Matthew 23, a denunciation of hypocrisy. This passage proves forever that our LORD was capable of scathing indignation at the pretence of religious leaders. Or, they should read Revelation 2:20 where He condemned the church in Thyatira for tolerating a woman teacher named Jezebel.
Paul too was intolerant of evil. He even mentioned names, something that is considered unacceptable in evangelical circles today. He delivered Hymenaeus and Alexander to Satan, that they might learn not to blaspheme (1 Timothy 1:20). He didn’t hesitate to single out Hymenaeus and Philetus as false teachers (2 Timothy 2:17) and he denounced Alexander the coppersmith by name for his evil behaviour (2 Timothy 4:14).
John also had the courage to name Diotrephes as one who loved to have the pre-eminence (3 John 9).
It seems that the church today has lost its capacity for godly intolerance. As Robert G Lee said, “We live in a world of invertebrate theology, jellyfish morality, seesaw religion, India rubber convictions, somersault philosophy that tells us what we already know in words which we do not understand.”
Those at ease in Zion do not want to be bothered with the work of the kingdom in defending the faith. They only want the benefits of Heaven while they shirk the work of the LORD. They want Him to save them from Hell but are not willing to make Him the LORD and Master of their daily lives. These reign on the throne of their own hearts while externally claiming to love and serve the One who said:
If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me…So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple…He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. ~ Luke 9:23; 14:33; John 12:25
Does not our enemy cherish those within the ranks of the modern church who know his evil and subversive teachings, and yet have no desire, zeal, or boldness to expose them for fear of their own reputation? The great deceiver knows the lax disposition of most of those who claim to know Christ and yet refuse to truly and personally study and definitively know God’s Word for themselves (Amos 6:1; Prov. 22:17-22; 2 Tim. 2:15). Warning: Woe unto them that are at ease in Zion (Amos 6:1).
The lack of zeal for God and obedience to His plain truth clearly identifies in us damnable, Luciferic, self-idolatry and self-worship. The altar of self-worship must be obliterated once and for all, if there is to be found in us any of the victory of Christ.
Whose side are you on?
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. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? ~ 1 Corinthians 10:21-22
Are we of those who claim to know Jesus and yet treat Him as a second-class citizen by refusing to learn for ourselves what He said in His Word? Or, are we of that holy remnant who stand bold with His strength, crucified with Christ, to diligently learn His truth and to openly expose false teachings and teachers that lead precious souls away from Him?
Jesus and His holy apostles often rebuked and exposed false leaders and false doctrine (Matthew 23; Acts 13:10; 20:29-31; Galatians 5:11-12; 2 Timothy 4:2-4; 2 Peter 2; 2 John 7-11; Revelation 2:6, 15, etc.). Therefore we know that part of following Jesus includes doing the same. In fact, the body of Christ is mandated to do just that (Romans 16:17-18; Philippians 1:17; Jude 3-4).
THE WORK OF SATAN AND HIS PAWNS IS TO KEEP HIS WOLVES (FALSE LEADERS) HIDDEN FROM VIEW! GOD WANTS THEM EXPOSED, BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE BODY OF CHRIST SO HIS SHEEP, FOR WHOM CHRIST DIED, CAN BE PROTECTED. JESUS AND HIS HOLY APOSTLES DID JUST THIS – EXPOSE FALSE LEADERS AND THEIR HERESIES! LET’S GET A GOSPEL CLUE AND CEASE DEFENDING, HIDING SATAN’S AGENTS! (Matthew 21:12-17; Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3-4; Acts 13:10; Matthew 23, etc.).
False prophets are Satan’s pawns who play the people. Are you being played?
Now I beseech you, brethren, MARK them (make it public to protect others) which cause divisions and offences contrary to the DOCTRINE which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. ~ Romans 16:17-18
LORD Jesus, please help us. Grant us a deep hunger for Your doctrine and the willingness to avoid those who teach otherwise.
While Jesus condemned hypocritical judgment, He commanded “righteous judgment” (Matt. 7:1-4; Jn. 7:24).
Note: There’s a difference between Satan accusing God’s people and God’s people identifying wolves in sheep’s clothing among us. Be careful not to mix things up: Note that Satan is the “accuser of our BRETHREN” (Revelation 12:10)… and the “brethren” are NOT the wolves the “brethren” are commanded to “MARK” and “earnestly contend” AGAINST (Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3). Read that again. God commands His disciples to “MARK” which means to make known, to identify those wolves so God’s people can be protected. Beware of those who are misusing Scripture. Stop it now. You cannot “rightly” divide the Word of truth until you are daily, diligently studying and walking with other of His saints in the revelation that is the written Word of God (2 Timothy 2:15).
The Call to Earnestly Contend for the Faith
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (license for sin), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. ~ Jude 3-4
Are we covering for Satan and not even realizing it? Are we cloaking the devil’s agents in order to avoid “rocking the boat,” so that we don’t personally have to take a hit on our own reputation? Are we saving our lives instead of losing them for Christ and His Gospel? Can you this day stand clear in conscience and heart and “not be ashamed before him at his coming?” (See 1 Jn. 2:28.) On Judgment Day, will you be found as a true follower of Jesus Christ, having lived out your days on earth unashamed of Him and His Words?
The Son of God stated:
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me AND of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. ~ Mark 8:38
Is it not the calling of all who wholly identify with Christ to stand for His name and Word and suffer for His Name’s sake?
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: ~ 2 Timothy 2:12
How did the early believers handle persecution? After being brought before the civil authorities of their day and commanded not to preach or teach any more in the name of Jesus, the Bible records their joyous response:
And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. ~ Acts 5:41
Read Acts 4. How exciting! What an adventure! Persecution will always come for the Living Word’s sake (Acts 4; Mk. 4:17). These believers were commanded not to teach or speak in the name of Jesus (Acts 4:18). God’s Word, when communicated, always brings light into the dark caverns of men’s hearts—inside and outside the church-world— especially within. Rejoice! Many times, the rebellious hearers attack the messenger (Jn. 3:18-21).
Our LORD told us that He did not come to bring peace, but a sword, the sword of division (Matt. 10:32-40). Why do we marvel when all things break lose against us in this life, as we speak and stand in divine truth?
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. ~ Matthew 10:34
When eternal truth is spoken, it is the occasion for some to believe and others not to, so there is consequently going to be a dividing, and that is a blessed, healthy division. As we truly trust in, obey, and follow Him, Jesus blesses our hearts, shining the glorious eternal light of His Gospel, while ridding us of darkness, the work of sin, and the evil one (Acts 3:26; 26:18; 2 Cor. 4:4-6). Take heart beloved: our LORD is continuing that work which He first began, working in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Phil. 1:6; 2:13). He foretold us that we would be persecuted as He was, but also that He overcame the world, not loving His life unto death that He might redeem us (Heb. 12:1-4). It was from within the professing church-world that Jesus was most fiercely persecuted and eventually mocked, scourged, and crucified. Nothing has changed.
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
It should be understood that marking the false teachers/ prophets is going to draw fire from those who have found refuge in their lies. Many of those who follow counterfeit wolves will ardently defend those who have given them a license to live in the sins they love: greed, self-love, idolatry, fornication, and spiritual adultery. These who defend their false prophets are defending the false security zone these beguilers have created in their deceived minds. Through their purposed dodging of the hard truths of Scripture, the false teachers/prophets have fostered a license for sin in their audiences, inferring that they can live in sin and still remain in right standing with God. So, to expose these lies is to strike at the wayward heart of those who have been deluded, and this will surely draw a reaction from some.
Those who will be Christ’s, elevating Him upward through His Word and empowered by His Spirit, must expect tribulation. For His name and words sake, such response is guaranteed. The enduring believer can also expect His Savior’s peace which passes all understanding. He can “be of good cheer,” count the cost, and be resolved in this life to abide in the obedience of the Master at any cost, even the cost of this fleeting life.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. ~ Matthew 10:22
PRAYER: LORD, I cry unto Thee to infuse my heart with supreme love for You and to rid my heart of all fear and idolatry of men, beginning with self. Grant me the courage to live unto You in all things, including making known, as You lead, the harmful and errant doctrines, deeds, and personalities that confront Your glory and precious people in this closing hour. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

What Eternal Security Wolves Refuse to Teach [podcast]
THE 5 SINS THAT KEPT ISRAEL (God’s own covenant people) OUT OF THEIR PROMISED LAND OF BLESSINGS and will keep us out if not relinquished. Friend, please read 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 with all your might. Make this text your meat.
The world seeks to romance sin but if God says it’s sin, that’s what it is. Toning down the terms changes nothing. Judgment Day is on the way.
We are fighting the good fight of faith, “striving against sin” and “more than conquerors” over sin through Jesus who loves us and bought us with His own blood! (1 Timothy 6:12; Hebrews 12:4; 13:12; Acts 20:28; Romans 8:37)
There are the 5 sins listed here that kept God’s people out of His blessings. We all need to L.I.F.T.M. up to the LORD in repentance and for His perfect forgiveness and cleansing. God the Holy Spirit warns us here through Paul’s pen (1 Cor. 10:1-13), that Israel and these sins are “examples” (vv. 6, 11) to all NT believers. God destroys those who go back on Him after knowing Him (transgressors – Ps. 68:21; 73:28; 125:5, etc.). If not ridden out of our lives, any one of these 5 sins WILL keep us out of our promised land. God is holy (Heb. 12:14). As taken in order from 1 Cor. 10:6-10, here are those 5 sins:
-
Lust
-
Idolatry
-
Fornication
-
Tempting Christ
-
Murmuring
This simple acronym should help us to remember these sins and remain separate from them as we grow today to know and love our Savior more fervently. “Keep thyself pure” (1 Timothy 5:22).
Committing the sin is one thing (1 John 1:8-10, right) and refusing to repent of it is yet another. Refusing to acknowledge, repent, confess, and cease is what snares the soul and ousts us from Christ (Proverbs 28:13).
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13
If the Holy Spirit has quickened any offences of your heart, simply L.I.F.T.M. up to Christ the Redeemer, Forgiver, Cleanser, and Transformer of lives.
Fornication Defiles
“It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have (Gr. possessed and wouldn’t repent) his father’s wife. 2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.” 1 Corinthians 5:1-2
1 Corinthians 10 completely destroys the OSAS / eternal security argument.
Notice the word “OUR” in verses 6 and 11. This is directly spoken to warn NEW Testament saints that they are going to hell if they live and die in sin.
Case closed.
1 Corinthians 10:1-12
1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Now these things were OUR examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also LUSTED.
7 Neither be ye IDOLATERS, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit FORNICATION, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us TEMPT CHRIST, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10 Neither MURMUR ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for OUR admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
The cross. Christ raises up those who are crcified with Him – outside of which no man can overcome sin. Romans 6.
“But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” 1 Corinthians 9:27
Eternal security is a false teaching. 1 sin separated Adam and Eve from God and “The wages of sin is (still) death” because God is Holy (Rom 6:23, etc.). Moral coward counterfeits hate, despise the Gospel essential of the cross, the crucified life. They want Jesus to save them to Heaven but not from sin. These are the sin-justifying, grace-perverting “ungodly men” Jude warned us about (Jude 4).
The divine declaration that “The wages of sin is death” which means separation from God, appears throughout Scripture (Romans 6:23).
“He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.” Proverbs 19:16
Die or death always means separation.
OSAS/eternal security is a lie from hell. OSAS was Satan’s first lie and so it’s blasphemy to teach this doctrine of devils and claim it’s part of the Gospel. You are attributing Satan’s lie to the LORD Jesus. Repent now sinner. See Genesis 2:17; 3:4; Romans 11:20-22; 1 Timothy 4:1; Hebrews 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39; 2 Peter 2:20-21; Jude 4, etc..
The concept of an un-conditional eternal security is not established in Scripture … Except for it being Satan’s first teaching, His first lie – the “Ye shall NOT surely die” lie (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).
“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:25-27
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” Revelation 19:7-9
“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” 2 Corinthians 7:1
“And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.” 1 John 3:3
“Psalms 51:1-19
Psalm 51: Sweet Perfumes of Penitence
Alexander Maclaren once said, ‘The alchemy of divine love can extract sweet perfumes of penitence and praise out of the filth of sin.’ We have an illustration of this in Psalm 51. As the heading explains, it was written by David after Nathan the prophet had boldly exposed him for committing adultery with Bathsheba and for murdering Uriah. Utterly convicted of his sin, David pours out this torrent of penitence from his broken and contrite heart.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
Read and pray Psalm 51.
Prayer of Returning: Holy Father, You gave all when You gave Your only begotten Son who came and died for our sins. You’ve also called me to lay down my life, to lose my life in this fleeting world. I have not done well at giving over my life to You … You alone who are worthy of my full, unreserved worship. Right this moment I ask You to forgive my sin of having another god before You which is self idolatry and spiritual adultery. I have alienated the affections of my heart away from You LORD and onto myself. For this I ask You to forgive me and I right here and now turn to You Jesus. Right this moment I lay my life in Your holy hands LORD. Into Your hands I submit my spirit – my whole being. Not my will but Thine be done LORD Jesus! I am no longer my own. I am Yours. I am dead and my life is hid with Christ in God. I love You Jesus and am ceaselessly grateful that You bought me with the price of Your own blood! You must increase but I must decrease. I ask You to unite my heart to fear Thy holy name! Teach me daily to lay myself aside and to give the reins over to You! In Jesus’ Name, amen.
Eternal Security/Once saved always saved is a lie from hell.

“THE GREAT DRAGON” [podcast]
Excerpt from the book Lie of the Ages
Origin of Evil
“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
Like it or not, you have a sworn enemy. He has drawn a line in the sand. You are in a war for your eternal soul and you must fight or you will be destroyed.
The introduction to the God of all creation and lover of His highest creation—mankind, is of supreme importance. And so is realizing and understanding the existence of the most wicked and iniquitous being in this universe. He is one of the major themes and realities in this record of mankind’s beginning. The Word of our God unveils creation’s account, leading to our present day and into the eternal future. What is set forth in the book of Genesis would set the stage and affect all of the history that would follow.
This book of origins is about that fatal falsehood which emanates from the Garden where it all began—a garden that was sinless bliss and perfection until the lie was introduced and acted upon by the first two people.
Of this very archenemy of the Most-High, from whom all lies originate, the Word states: “Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God” (Ezek. 28:13). The serpent, animated by the vilest of all beings, was allowed to slither into the innocence and purity that originally existed in the sanctuary of creation. This was due to the fact that perfect divine wisdom has seen fit to allow His creation to have the opportunity of choice between good and evil (Deut. 30:19; Josh. 24:15; Job 12:16; 1 Cor. 11:19).
Satan has a purpose. Since love is volitional by its very nature, our Creator has seen fit to permit this evil and beguiling villain to remain present amidst those professing sanctuary in the LORD. Life on earth is a test for all—all humans are on probation. Love is a choice and so is rebellion. The Maker of all made man with free will so that the choice could be made to love or not to love Him. Among volumes of other Scriptures found in Holy Writ which demonstrate this, the following words from on high make plain that the LORD made Man with free will: “Choose you this day whom ye will serve” (Josh. 24:15).
Such a statement would not have been spoken by the LORD if He had not made man with the ability of choice. Man was created with the ability to “choose” every “day” whom he will serve, and this choice is ongoing while men are upon the earth in this temporal life.
It would be remiss to attempt discussing the very lie of the ages without opening the grand subject of the one whom Christ said was the father (originator) of all lies. Of Satan, the Son of God informed us, as He spoke to the rebellious religionists of His day:
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” ~ John 8:44
All men are born in sin and are “by nature” the “children of disobedience.”
“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: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.” ~ Ephesians 2:2-3
There are, at this moment only two classes of people in the earth—those who have relationship with the One who made us all, and those who don’t. According to this passage (Ephesians 2), all those who have not been brought into the kingdom of God through Christ, have as their father, the devil. The reason the Son of God came to the earth was to sever the ties and claim of Satan from mankind. He came to deliver men from this relationship of fear, domination and bondage that is only enabled by sin.
“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
“Who (God the Father) hath delivered us from the power of darkness (Satan), and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.” ~ Colossians 1:13-14
The mission of Christ was to reconcile or restore the relationship that had been severed by the sin of the first man and woman which caused death (separation) to fall upon all men, the whole race (Romans 5:12). He fully accomplished His mission and is now seated at His Father’s right hand, enforcing this victory (Heb. 4:14-16; 7:25-26).
From the dawn of the creation and fall of mankind, all evil, tragedy and pain in history has been caused by Satan and enabled by man’s sin (Prov. 26:2). Only the LORD, the One whose holiness is violated when sin is committed, can save, restore and heal (Jer. 17:14; 1 Cor. 15:57; Rev. 21:4).
Victory was obtained through the precious blood of Jesus (1 Pet. 1:18-19). Being forgiven and released from all sin and its evil effects and the dominion of Satan, comes through Christ alone. Jesus utterly conquered His enemy on the cross (Col. 2:13-15; 1 Jn. 3:8). Blessed forgiveness and spiritual power enables the individual disciple to serve the LORD without fear and bondage to sin. Sin enables Satan’s rule and only those who are free from it by Jesus Christ can rule over His enemies (Ps. 8:6; 17:4; Jn. 8:31-36; 1 Jn. 4:4). Christ triumphed over the enemy of all souls with His death on the cross and resurrection from the dead. Read the following passage for all it’s worth:
“For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel.” ~ Colossians 1:19-23
The Son of God accomplished complete victory in bringing God and men back into perfect union by “the blood of His cross” (Col. 1:20).
“And you, being dead (separated) in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened (made alive) together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show (sport; spectacle) of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” ~ Colossians 2:13-15
The “serpent” who was in the Garden of creation and still “walketh about” in the midst of the earth, is specifically identified as Satan and the devil (1 Pet. 5:8; Rev. 12:9; 20:2). This ultimate enemy of all that is good took control of the serpent in his attack against man. The serpent, animated by the enemy of souls himself, was used as the instrument that led to the fall of mankind and the righteous retribution of the holy Creator. Yet, Jesus Christ accomplished mankind’s redemption through “the blood of His cross” (Col. 1:20).
Know Your Enemy
Allow me to parenthetically say here that if one does not personally believe in a literal devil (Satan) and his insidious work of evil among men, then perhaps that person will do well to begin to search God’s Word for the volumes of Scripture which identify and describe him along with unveiling his wicked purposes. The LORD inspired the Scriptures and has much to say about His enemy—our enemy. It is interesting to discover that the word “devil” appears 57 times in the Bible. The word “Satan” appears 50 times. These are the most utilized terms to describe this darkest of fallen beings, and yet there are several more which identify this enemy of all souls who is the personification of evil, such as “serpent,” and “adversary” (1 Pet. 5:8; Rev. 12:9).
“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
His goal may be summed up this way: Satan’s complete and total purpose that underlies all that he does is to cause men to fall from grace just as he himself did and was banished from fellowship with the life-giving God. There is a horrible prison of fire which will be the eternal home of all who leave this earth apart from a personal and intimate relationship with the One who died for sinners.
On Judgment Day, that Great and Terrible Day of separation between the righteous and the unrighteous will include these horrible words “from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away”:
“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” ~ Revelation 20:11-15
To those whose existence in this temporal life ends disconnected from the only Savior, the following will be the verdict delivered to them in Judgment: “Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matt. 25:41).
Hell is a place of indescribably horrid eternal punishment and was created by the LORD for his archenemy and all those who are not His.
Back to the enemy, the one who wants you dead and in hell: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet. 5:8).
One may find great intrigue in uncovering this iniquitous fallen foe and gain much insight into the dark world of demons and deception along with gaining perception into the real battle in the spirit realm that rages over mankind.
“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 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 6:11-12
By the volume of information about His enemy included in His Word, we know that the LORD intended for us to know our enemy—His enemy.
Believers are to give him no place: “Neither give place to the devil” (Eph. 4:27).
Believers are to set themselves against him: “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (Jas. 4:7); “Stand against the wiles of the devil” (Eph. 6:11).
Believers are to know his scheming goals and ways and avoid them lest he gain advantage of us: “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices” (2 Cor. 2:11).
The devil seeks to trip up, war against, wear out and devour the sheep of the LORD’s pasture. He has come to wreak havoc among the Lord’s highest creation: “The thief (devil) 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).
Power Over All the Power of the Enemy
Believers are warned to live in obedience to the Word of God in order to escape falling into “the condemnation of the devil” and being caught in “the snare of the devil” or giving an “advantage” to him (1 Tim. 3:6-7; 2 Tim. 2:26; 2 Cor. 2:11).
The enemy of our souls prospers through the ignorance of God’s people—he is shut out and his work nullified by the knowledge and obedience of God’s people.
“By the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.” ~ Psalms 17:4
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” ~ Psalms 91:1
Disciples of Jesus are kept from being destroyed by the enemy in obeying the Word of God. Holy Writ informs us that Jesus came to successfully “destroy the works of the devil” and that “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 Jn. 3:8; 4:4).
Christ promised power to those who are truly His:
“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.” ~ Luke 10:17-20
Jesus Christ, the eternal Word, became flesh so that He might destroy the works of the enemy of our souls:
“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.” ~ Hebrews 2:14
Believers are told to be of a sober mind and diligent in light of the proactive and evil plans of Satan to destroy them:
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world”. ~ 1 Peter 5:8-9
Here’s what the Bible says about Satan’s work in the last days:
“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” Revelation 12:12
As foretold here, the work of the evil one is accelerating in this late hour before the destruction of all rebellion and return of our LORD Jesus Christ.
The Alpha and Omega is coming back, and His enemy’s end is sure:
“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.” ~ Romans 16:20
“And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.” ~ Revelation 20:2-3
“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” ~ Revelation 20:10
Surrounded and Outnumbered
Elisha’s servant was brought to the understanding that there are more angels of God with God’s children than there are fallen angels who rebelled:
“And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he (the prophet Elisha) answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.” ~ 2 Kings 6:15-17
The one who is following Christ need not fear. LORD Jesus open our eyes! Nothing has changed—there are “more” angels of the LORD “with us…than they that be with them (the enemy).” The saints of the Most High are promised protection and His angels are part of that plan.
“Are they (God’s angels) not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation.” ~ Hebrews 1:14
“The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.” ~ Psalms 34:7
In Heaven and in eternity past, two-thirds of the then-angelic beings remained under the command and blessing of the Almighty, while a third chose to depart with Lucifer and are forever alienated from the Most High. Let’s take a glimpse into a war that took place in Heaven in eternity past, a war that has great impact today:
“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 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. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. ~ Revelation 12:7-12
It would remain difficult to understand this life and present world system, and the world to come if one were to pass lightly over this war of wars that occurred (took place) in Heaven. When we begin to delve into the data given in this matter, understanding comes of our great God and His arch adversary. Enlightenment and understanding into the 6,000 years of mankind’s history open to us when we know what preceded this time period. Knowledge into what we are told prophetically is transpiring before our very eyes. As we are seeing, the Holy Scriptures reveal much about that dark and sinister being called “Satan” and the “devil” who is and will have a large part to play in the fulfillment of prophecy. Although his rebellion against the Almighty began in eternity past, the serpent’s workings among men began in the Garden of Eden. He crept in to accomplish his wicked agenda. He has seemingly succeeded for this moment, yet the divine promise is that his time is running short. “The devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time” (Rev. 12:12).
The First Fall-Out: Eternal Termination
We all understand what it means when someone says, “John and Mark had a falling-out.” This means they were friends or business partners, and then because of some disagreement, they parted company and are no longer friends. Well, the first falling-out occurred between the Almighty and Lucifer. The angel Lucifer fell out of the favor of God and consequently fell out of Heaven. Of Lucifer’s ejection from Heaven, the Son of God stated: “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven” (Lk. 10:18).
The evil one was evicted from Heaven when he turned against God. Originally, he was a good angel, “the anointed cherub,” who led the worship of the Almighty, until the day that “iniquity was found” in him (Ezek. 28:14-15). Lucifer, who became Satan and the devil, led a third of the angels of the Most-High God in rebellion against Him. “And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth” (Rev. 12:4).
Ultimately, all deception and all lies have their origin in this greatest of all enemies who brought about the sin and fall of mankind and wages war today against the Almighty’s highest creation (mankind). Of Satan, the Son of God said: “for he is a liar, and the father of it” (Jn. 8:44). He also informed us that this supreme adversary has come to do three things— “to steal, to kill, and to destroy” (Jn. 10:10). He wages war against God and His people. He is defined as and called “the accuser of our brethren” (Rev. 12:10).
Satan is a real being. He is not a figment of someone’s imagination. In fact, anyone who is convinced of such has already been conquered by his deception. He is forever the sworn enemy of the LORD, and will ultimately be put away for good, never again to tempt another soul to rebel against the Maker of all that is. “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever” (Rev. 20:10).
The one who studies the Word of God will gain priceless insight into the reasons for the current condition of the world, and, into the future blessedness of all those who know and follow the One who bled to save us from God’s holy wrath against sin and Satan (Rom. 5:9). In fact, a divine blessing is pronounced upon all who read and obey the words of Holy Scripture: “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand” (Rev. 1:3).
PRAYER: Holy Father in Heaven, please bless me to know You more and to be kept from the evil one and his wicked schemes against Your people. Right this moment I ask You for and receive a fresh cleansing of all my sins by the blood of Jesus Christ my LORD and Savior, whereby I am blessed to overcome, along with the word of my testimony of how you have washed and delivered me. I declare afresh and aloud, right this second, if never before, that Jesus Christ is LORD of my life, and He alone will I worship and serve. Glory to His precious Name! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

The Deaths of Voddie Baucham vs Charlie Kirk [podcast]
Yes it’s an amazing impact and effect God is doing in the lives of so many through Charlie Kirk’s life and death. Undeniable. His life wasn’t perfect, neither was Abraham’s, Rahab’s, Noah’s, Moses, Samson, Peter…. etc. God has each of them with Him now. Dare you pretend to self righteously pretend to be wiser and more just than the Almighty? You’ve been telling everyone else to repent and yet perhaps now it’s your time to obey the LORD’s command to repent (Acts 17:30).
Compare how people are reacting to Voddie Baucham vs how they are reacting to the death of Charlie Kirk.
Interestingly, some of the same people condemning Charlie Kirk listen to Voddie Baucham.
A simple search confirms Voddie Baucham’s Calvinism. He died a heretic. He never renounced the false teachings of Clvinism. In contrast Charlie Kirk denounced bribe money, Catholicism. My inclination is to blast Catholics but Charlie Kirk’s method was much wiser… and so he retained the ear and attention of the Catholics which has and will continue to lead many to Christ. My own family member is now saved due to Charlie Kirk.
The error man can do does not negate the WORD of God, the truth that the same man may have spoken – because GOD’s Word shall always “accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11
Judas was sent by Jesus to preach the Gospel, heal the sick, raise the dead, etc. See Matthew 10:1-8. Then after that, Judas sinned and betrayed the Son of God. Should we believe that Judas’ sin thereafter somehow negates, does away with the work God accomplished through him previous to his rebellion?
Now I hear and heard Charlie saying he salutes the Mormons due to their sending missionaries all over the world, etc. Not good. I don’t think Charlie knew the slightest bit about what Mormons really believe. I remember after being saved that I thought Mormons were just another Christian group, till I was pulled aside and enlightened by true disciples. Had Charlie been enlightened to what Mormonism really is, he’d have denounced them as he did the Catholic church, who he started out believing were true. He later found out what they believed and denounced it. Is it a sin to be immature in the faith, to not understand everything? No. If that were the case why would God have ever address those immature in the faith? Hebrews 5:11-14; 1 John 2:14
Has God used you?
Does God use imperfect vessels?
Surely you wouldn’t claim sinless perfection, would you? (Job 9:20; Proverbs 20:9; 1 John 1:8-10)
Isn’t finishing strong in faith in Christ what is most important? Yes (2 Timothy 4:6-8).
What about Noah who got drunk? (Genesis 9:21)
How about Abraham who lied and even adulterated with his Egyptian handmaid? (Genesis 16)
What about Moses who killed a man and also struck the rock instead of speaking to it as God instructed him to do? (Numbers 20)
How about David who committed adultery with Bathsheba and then had her husband murdered and then sought a cover up? (2 Samuel 11-12).
No this does not justify sin and yet, God is just and holy and yet He’s merciful to His own, as they repent (Psalms 103:10-12).
Can you disprove the veracity of the above?
“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 2 Timothy 2:19
Charlie Kirk vs Vodie Bauchum
Bauchum, like Washer, Piper, and MacArthur, spent his life pushing Calvinism, a false system of theology. Every false teacher shall have eternal “damnation” (2 Peter 2:1-3).
Voddie was close friends and Calvinist ministry cohorts with the likes of Paul Washer, John Piper, and John MacAthur, all Calvinist heretic false teachers. See Ezekiel 22:25-27.
The Idiocy of Calvinism
Some claim that Charlie Kirk pushed a false Christianity. Is that true?
In my opinion, Sam Adams seems to have no joy, the fruit of the Spirit…. (Galatians 5:22-23). He’s reading from a script in this video. Just because someone is exposing something doesn’t mean they are in the truth and giving a fair, thorough, just assessment of such. I’m not buying into Sam’s version of this. The facts seem to reveal something different. Sam is a hardshell baptist type and though he’s said some good things, he seems to be going dark. Remember, Sam Adams teaches the heresy of OSAS/eternal security, which was Satan’s first lie and it led to the fall of mankind then and is now doing so (Genesis 2:17; 3:4). The facts seem to indicate that Charlie finished in the faith. He rejected Catholicism and other cultic persuasions. Where were the Sam Adam’s when the young man was being misled? Were they reaching out to help him as did Aquilla and Priscilla when they encountered the young man Apollos when he needed help in maturing in Christ? Acts 18. Be careful what you listen to saints. | Eternal Security is a Life from Hell
Wisdom sees beyond the surface. Charlie was a young man whose discernment was very shallow at best. In the end, he died in the faith, declaring that it’s all about Jesus and that Jesus died for our sins to give us eternal life. Like Samson his life was spotted as are all of our lives. He defended the Bible and faith against a Mormon who was trying to convert him, literally seconds before he was assassinated. A month before that he denounced Catholicism as false. What many fail to understand is that every evil system of antichrists will come after those who have a platform, so that they can have that platform, they can seize that opportunity to get their evil message to the masses. The facts reveal that Charlie was gaining traction against these evil systems and that’s why they murdered him. He hard rejected, turned down $150 million to compromise with Israel. That’s the fair fruit we should see him by it seems (Matthew 7:16, 20).
Samson finished strong
“And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:” Hebrews 11:32
Reminder: The thief on the cross lived a whole life of sin. In his dying moment he called on Jesus and was forgiven, pardoned, and promised paradise. He’s been there with Jesus and the saints for 2,000 years (Luke 23:42-43).
“Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” 1 Timothy 2:4-6
Are we underestimating the mercy of God for “all men”? Are we looking for ways to exclude eternal souls from His kingdom? If YOU died right now, would there be things you did that people could isolate and blow up into a huge issue and yet ignore that you died in faith, you died in the faith?
“For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.” James 2:13
Have you fought a good fight? Have you fought a perfect fight, a fight with no sinful set backs?
Who did Jesus say was seeking to sift the apostle 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
This reveals to us that Satan who “walketh about seeking whom he may devour”—seeks to devour, to swallow up, to sift all who are in Christ—just as he did with Peter the apostle of Christ (1 Peter 5:8).
After being sifted by Satan and sinning, Peter was then restored to the LORD and soon after went forth to preach to 8,000 people who all repented and received Christ! See Acts 2-4.
As a recent example, do we think from the evidence that Satan sought to sift, to seduce, to devour Charlie Kirk? Yes he did and yet it seems that as it was with the case with Jesus and Peter, Charlie finished in faith.
Some choose to emphasize the things Charlie seemed to dabble in and yet ultimately openly forsook (Catholicism, compromising for money, etc.). They are dead set on him being in hell. They just can’t seem to get past his vulnerableness to temptation and sin, so easily forgetting all the temptation and sin God has saved them from AFTER He saved them.
SOMEONE might say “they are a MASON”! Even when there is no real proof and fruit that says otherwise. Well I was worse, a CATHOLIC! Which is a worse system. I was farther from God but not unreachable by Him. Thank You Jesus for finding and saving this wretch!
Is there more proof that Charlie Kirk was a mason or a Christian?
There are only 2 types of people on earth—saved and unsaved! Lost or found. Washed in the blood or not!
God is able.
None of us are the Savior (Luke 19:10).
God is love. God is holy. God is merciful. God is just.
One of the final things Charlie Kirk stated before he was assassinated. He could have said ANYTHING and here’s what he chose to say. Matthew 12:34 anyone? Jesus says we know people “by their fruit” and not by what some others are saying (Matthew 7:16, 20). Sticking with the facts.
Solomon had 1,000 women right?
What did he say of women?
“Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.” Proverbs 14:1
“Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.” Ecclesiastes 7:28
Have we seen anything of overt wickedness with Charlie Kirk? He was being courted, played, seduced by the enemy of souls and yet seemed to finish in faith as did Samson after a life of inconsistency. He did this while being surrounded by evil doers.
The fact that no one from TPUSA is calling for a real investigation is beyond suspicious in my opinion.
I don’t trust nor like Erika or any woman at the helm .
It appears possible that God blessed what Charlie did for HIM. The others were riding on God’s blessing upon Charlie. It’s all too typical to see that the pride of men leads them to believe they can do better, in this case, better than Charlie. We can count on this being a catastrophe as it always is. Perhaps they thought that getting rid of Charlie would be the best move (John 16:1-2). It seems now that these evil doers who surrounded Charlie will make a mess of TPusa. It will be controlled by Netanyahu and/or other evil interests. It seems plausible that they murdered him in order to take over his organization, just like Jezebel had her husband Ahab murder Naboth, murdered to take over his land. They offered him a sum of money to purchase his vineyard, but Naboth refused the money and so they murdered him to get his land. See 1 Kings 21. In this case apparently Netanyahu offered $150 million to Charlie Kirk for influence over TPUSA. Charlie refused the money and many believe it was his Israeli security detail that killed him.
