Another vatican deception ensnares lazy counterfeits who refuse to get into the Word for themselves.

***BEWARE OF THE BANDWAGON BAFOONS!

The counterfeit chumps who jumped on the more than obvious THE CHOSEN vatican fraud movie bandwagon have even more egg on their face with the revelation of the pride abomination flag that was on the set. That tells us all we need to know about Johnathan Roumie and The Chosen.

“The Chosen” movie is just the latest “I-want-it-to-be-true-because-I’m-too-lazy-to-read-God’s-Word-for-myself” deception.

“And Hollywood loves the Chosen because it is presenting a false Jesus. The world loves their own! John 15: 19. The real Jesus of the Bible is the one they reject. Because they love their sinful ways and do not want to repent. Therefore they hate truth! And Jesus represents, truth holiness and righteousness.” Karen Cochran

The Chosen Movie is Antichrist…

Yet you have God-less counterfeits (antichrists) promoting it as a Bible movie. God told you to know Him through your own study of HIS own Word and not by watching Satan’s agents poison you via their hollyweird movies. Repent now.

“The Chosen actually portrays Jesus as a sinner! When Jesus was in the temple Mary and Joseph were looking for Him, Joseph says to Jesus, “what are you going to do for your mother for this transgression?” And then laughs. Any true discipline of Christ knows Jesus was without sin!! (2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 4:15, 1 Peter 2:22). They are humanizing Him and omitting His deity! Their words: “we are trying to make Him more relatable to modern audiences”! And the Chosen is probably the most popular show on the planet! Blasphemy and a MOCKERY of the Lord Jesus Christ! Any person claiming to be a follower of Christ could never sit and watch them mock the one they supposedly love! You might as well eat rat poison! This is a “damnable” heresy (2 Peter 2:1). And God will not be mocked! What you sow you will also reap! Gal 6:7. Consequences will be burning forever and ever in the eternal flames of hell!” Karen Cochran

“The Chosen’s director, Dallas Jenkins, said that 95% of The Chosen is not from the Bible (in other words not true but rather made-up stories about Jesus and the disciples) but ‘Christians’ love it. Care nothing of truth.” Danny Phillips

“Promoting a false Jesus! Dallas Jenkins also said we don’t ask people what they believe when we hire them. Um hello!! You make a movie about Jesus but you don’t care what they believe! 2 Corinthians: 14-17. People don’t have a love for the truth. For this reason God will send a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. 2 Thessalonians 2: 10-12.” Karen Cochran

The true remnant of Christ live by the Word of God as their final divine authority and are 4-0, having recently exposed the works of darkness titled The Chosen, He Gets Us, Jesus Revolution, and the Asbury revival scam!!!! – “Take heed that no man deceive you.” (Matthew 24:4)

Jonathan Roumie has never once professed that he is born again or washed in the blood of Jesus, because he isn’t. Roumie is an idol worshipping roman catholic pagan who prays the rosary, a knight of malta secret society skull and bones occultist, and boasts of praying to the dead, which is forbidden by God (Deuteronomy 18:9-14). Roumie played the part of Jesus in “The Chosen,” and then played the part of sodomite catholic priest Lonnie Frisbee in the movie “Jesus Revolution.”

Notice, Jonathan Roumie has a video titled “testimony of divine mercy” but not being born again which means he’s not a Christian. This is all “another Jesus” and not the Jesus Christ of the Bible who said “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. … Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” (John 3:3, 7; 2 Corinthians 11:2-5) … furthermore, Roumie’s pictures of him flashing his occultic skull and bones rings are everywhere. “Be not deceived.” (Galatians 6:7-8) Hint: There is no mercy, forgiveness, or salvation to anyone who is not genuinely born again. There is no such thing as a Christian who is not born again.

 

SO, just what spirit is working in the lives of all who promoted and defended “The Chosen”, the “Jesus Revolution,” “He Gets Us,” and the Asbury “revival”? Make not mistake: This is a wake up call for all who promoted these frauds to truly repent and be saved – before it’s too late. The fact that they didn’t see this clearly proves this is 100% proof that demons presently control all who defended these satanically backed productions. Jesus tells us that every one of them is “NOT of God” because they do not honor God’s Word (John 8:47). If they were “of God”, they’d never have promoted these antichrist corruptions (John 8:47). Jonanthan Roumie, in an interview, boast of praying to the dead. Yet in God’s Word, praying to the dead is called necromancy which is pretended communications with the dead (Deuteronomy 18:9-14).

Abominable Practices

9  When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 

10  There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 

11  Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 

12  For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 

13  Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. 

14  For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.” Deuteronomy 18:9-14 

They Simply do not Love the LORD

“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment.” Matthew 22:37-38

Some people want the Bible acted out dramatically in a movie or docuseries format because they don’t love God enough to pay attention when they are reading His Word directly. Or, in most cases, they have no daily life in God’s Word in the first place – because He’s not important enough to them. In fact, they want mere man to tell them about God because they won’t repent and seek Him for themselves.

Only those who are born again and presently abiding in Christ will be with Him (John 3:3, 7; 15:1-6,etc.) | Making Peace with God 

No true disciple of Jesus gets his view of God, his theology, from a movie. No, he studies God’s Word for himself (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17). Those who don’t love God enough to study HIS Word for themselves, are not right with Him and won’t be with Him.

Any person who gets their view of God from a hollywood movie is in need of repentance for not studying God’s Word for himself as the LORD commanded us to do (2 Timothy 2:15).

WHEN God is not important to you, you don’t study and know His Word for yourself (2 Timothy 2:15). And, therefore you are a sucker for Satan’s productions, dramatized “Bible” stories, and presentations. And you will be “destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6)

“The Word is so beautiful. I don’t listen, watch or desire man’s interpretation. God speaks and the Holy Spirit Is the perfect teacher.” Neisey

SO many people who claim to be following Christ won’t diligently study His Word for themselves (2 Timothy 2:15). They want some man to tell them about God instead of seeking the LORD for themselves. So, instead they read heretical new age antichrist misrepresentations like Jesus Calling, The Shack, or they watch “Bible” movies from hollyweird like The Chosen which is a fraudulent corruption.

To illustrate how many have been played for the fool, notice below the allegiance to his lord Satan of the man who plays John the Baptist in the movie The Chosen. He writes: “Our little Satanic film trends more than Jesus this Easter!” David Amito, who played the part of John the Baptist in The Chosen.

The above revelation makes is 100% certain that any and all persons who watched The Chosen are not being led by the Holy Spirit and are in utter need of swift, authentic repentance (Romans 8:14).

WHO is of God? WHO ARE “THE SONS OF GOD”?
 
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, THEY are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14

This means that anyone not being led by the Holy Spirit, according to the written WORD the Holy Spirit gave us, is “NOT of God.” (John 8:47)

“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Matthew 12:30

UPDATE: Just watched another video of Jonathan Roumie videoing himself live and he is bragging about being Catholic, speaking at Catholic events, how he loves being a Knights Templar (satanic), bragging about them, and how he’s been asked and is going to be a papal knight…. antichrist… and bragging about meeting the pope soon in Rome.

BEWARE: There’s yet another end times “Bible” movie out. Just the latest of many. Most if not all of them have cursed roots, the Catholic church. Lazy, gullible dupes rush out to see “Bible” movies. They are too lazy to read God’s Word for themselves and so have no idea what’s added or left out. They don’t love Christ enough to listen to Him for themselves – by reading His words themselves as He commanded (John 5:39-40; 2 Timothy 2:15, etc.).

SOON as you see a “Christian” movie being advertised and they show a catholic church, a temple of idols, as if that represents the true church Jesus has in the earth, you can know of certainty that the blind wolves who created that stupid movie are misleading people (Luke 6:39). The same is true when you dig a bit and find out that the movie is done by catholics who are pagan idolaters. Beware saints (1 John 4:1). The godly gain their view of God from HIS own mouth, straight out of HIS Word (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

Whenever the world touches the things of God, they do so to pervert it. Remember every unsaved person is under the control of Satan who is called “the prince of the power of the air.” (Ephesians 2:1-3)

Of The Chosen, Neil Hosken writes:

“The fact Mary Magdalena went back to her old profession was too much. We’ve had a few episodes at Bible study. Every week I’ve said, ‘This is not nearly like the Bible.’ You point out that people are too lazy to read Bible, they fall asleep at church even if they are listening to false teachers. So TV is an easy option. I could go on, but your point is spot on.”

WARNING: You are throwing your eternal soul to the winds of hell if you have chosen to depend on other men and their productions (movies, fake “bibles”, etc.) to tell you about your Maker and what He requires of you – instead of allowing God to speak for Himself to your heart and life directly via His Word (KJB for the English speaking). Hell awaits (Mark 8:34-38; Luke 16:19-31, etc.).

God’s Word will not, cannot get into you until you get into it!

100% Clear proof that anyone who ever promoted this production is under “the spirit of antichrist” and in need of real repentance now – before it’s too late (1 John 4:1-3). Whoever would do such could not have been led by the Holy Spirit of God but rather the enemy of all souls (Romans 8:14).

Any person who has promoted this ecumenical project is under the control of “the spirit of antichrist” and here’s the clear proof (1 John 4:1-3). The wise will repent. The foolish will only plunge deeper into darkness (Proverbs 9:8-10).

Are you bidding Godspeed to the wicked? If so, do you realize that you will be judged with the false prophets you endorsed?

“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth 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. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 9-11

The Drama Deception

The dramatic arts have been around for 2,500 years. “The history of theatre charts the development of theatre over the past 2,500 years.” So, why didn’t Jesus, why didn’t Paul or any of the other apostles create, set up, or send people to watch a dramatic, cinematic presentation of the Gospel? The only people doing such are those Satan is using to mislead you and others. And then they get you involved as you run out and tell others to watch THE CHOSEN or some other demonically rooted presentation. The mormons are behind this production. And we know that a blessed, good fruit cannot come out of a cursed root. Beware.

Watching a dramatic presentation of the Bible, supposedly, takes quite a lot of extra work to discern, to decipher if it’s true or not. This is about it – If you don’t go to the passages that are supposedly being acted out, portrayed in the drama, you don’t know what’s added or being left out or how accurate it is. Right? Right. Why bother? Why not just read God’s Word for yourself as He told you to do?

Any and every Bible dramatized production is always going to misrepresent what the Scriptures say – 100% of the time. The same goes for those who have re-translated the Bible and corrupted it horrifically in the new versions – when we already had the promised, preserved Word of God for the English speaking peoples in the King James Bible.

The nearer we draw to the return of our LORD, the further the mainstream modern “church” departs from the original Gospel message.

“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

Notice the Holy Spirit inspired instructed Timothy to “Preach the word” and not to dramatize or portray it. Stop and think about that.

Also the LORD foretells here that those professing Christ in the final days, those with a mere “form of godliness”, will “not endure (hold themselves accountable to) sound doctrine.”

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables (stories).” 2 Timothy 4:2-4

To even allow someone else other than God, to explain who God is and His will, gives place to the devil whose mission is “to steal, to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10)

“Neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:27

“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” 2 Corinthians 10:5

Only the pure Word of God clearly, divinely sets forth and projects the truth and image of God.

“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17

Whenever man taints, changes, waters down, adds to, or removes from that plain, divinely inspired script of Holy Scripture, the content and projection, the message is changed, is altered, is falsified.

“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Revelation 22:18-19 

Anyone who trusts man instead of God does not fear the LORD.

“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

Those who go anywhere else except to God’s Word to study Him are erring at best. What they are doing is trusting man to tell them about God instead of hearing what God says about Himself for Himself.

“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47

When a person chooses to trust man and not God to tell you who He is, they forsake the LORD. Read Jeremiah 17.

Anyone who believes sinful man won’t change the message of God’s Word is very gullible.

Stop looking to sinful man to tell you about God! Seek God in His Word so He can reveal to you who He is the way He prescribed.

“Thanks for exposing this. Man choose movies (lazy) over reading the Bible (where the truth is).” Meme

One lady commented, calling anyone who doesn’t like The Chosen a Pharisee. One can observe that whenever someone is emotionally attached to a supposedly biblical production, even when it’s not biblical (which is normally the case), everyone who disagrees with them, is now a “Pharisee.” And, yet they have no biblical foundation for what they are saying. The Chosen is a deception. Good fruit cannot come from a cursed root (Jeremiah 17:5; Matthew 12:33, etc.). Stop expecting such!

All who trust in man are 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. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.” Jeremiah 17:5-6

Please explain how a cursed root can bring forth good fruit? Waiting… and if you even attempt to explain such, you call the Son of God a liar (Matthew 12:33).

If you bought this “Chosen” package, satan and his human agents are laughing you all the way to the bank and perhaps to hell.

Those who aren’t diligently, daily, engrossed in God’s Word don’t even know it and therefore can’t tell what’s being perverted, what’s true and what’s false when they watch some supposedly dramatic presentation of it. Lack of knowledge of God’s Word is intentional and brings destruction – now and forever.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6

God gave us His written Word in order to know Him – straight from HIS mouth with no poisoning, tainting, slighting, or adding to from sinful men. And, He commands You to study it in order to know Him.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God (YOU DO IT), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

One can only rightly divide the Word of truth if he’s studying it for himself.

Isn’t it high time to repent and cut off the sensual, the way something makes you feel? Satan can make you feel all kinds of good as he leads you straight to hell. Die to it. Crucify the emotional sentiment and walk in the truth.

Jonathan Roumie is an Antichrist

In a recent video interview, Jonathan Roumie, sitting with Catholic pagan, occultic worship garb hanging all over the wall behind him, says that his favorite thing about being Catholic is the Eucharist, the diabolical Catholic communion – where they pretend to be re-sacrificing Jesus at every mass which is an antichrist blasphemous ritual that denies the perfect one-time payment for all sins at the cross where Jesus declared “It is finished” which mean “paid in full.” (John 19:30; Hebrews 10:10; 1 Peter 3:18) | Catholic Mass Exposed by Ex-Catholic Priest

Had friends telling me to watch it but something inside said “no” as usual…. BECAUSE WE HAVE A BIBLE….. hell bound people don’t love Jesus enough to read HIS Word for themselves! Were those friends who told me to watch The Chosen being led by the Holy Spirit or Satan? Satan.

“For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)” Ephesians 5:9

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” 1 John 1:5

With no exception, all true followers of Jesus uphold His written Word as the final divine authority of their lives and the Christian faith.

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17

God gave us His written Word and nothing else for …

  • Doctrine
  • Reproof
  • Correction
  • Instruction in righteousness

No man can possibly be “perfect (mature in Christ), throughly furnished” without a through and through knowledge of the Word of God.

The true disciple of Jesus lets God speak for Himself – in HIS Word where the very “thoughts of his heart” are revealed to us (Psalms 33:11).

God has chosen to teach us, to reveal to us who He is through His Word.

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

ANY person who was saved in the past and is now not in God’s Word daily, is backslidden (Luke 4:4; James 1:23-25).

If you aren’t in God’s Word daily, He’s not your “first love” and He’s calling you to repent before it’s too late (Revelation 2:4-5).

“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield (protection) unto them that put their trust in him.” Proverbs 30:5

There’s only one place of protection – God’s Word. Get into it or perish. Repent now.

You claim to love God and yet He’s not important enough to you to be in His Word daily? Please explain…. better yet, repent and return to Jesus as the “FIRST love” of your life before it’s too late (Revelation 2:4-5; 3:15-19, etc.). King James Bible and not the many cheap substitute fake “bibles.” | Bible Version Issue – Fake “Bibles” Exposed

Those truly known of the LORD don’t go to sinful men to find out who the LORD is and what His instructions are. No, instead, they learn who He is by what HE says in His Word and are therefore never moved or run out to watch any man’s productions about God… especially not from a pagan (mormon) source.

“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Peter 1:19-21

It’s time for you to shut your mouth and get into God’s Word for yourself as if your life depended on it – because it does.

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalms 119:105

Those who look to a movie or book or man’s productions for their theology do so because they are lost souls. Every true  disciple of Jesus gets his view of God, his doctrine, straight from the LORD – in the Bible! Repent now sinner.

Jesus warned:

Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” Matthew 12:33-34

There’s no way a blessed fruit can come forth from a cursed root. The root determines the truth (Romans 11:16). The fact that this movie involves mormons tells us all we have to know about it. The Root Determines the Fruit [podcast] 

A cursed root equals cursed fruit.

“But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 21 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. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?” 1 Corinthians 10:20-22

Instead of studying God’s Word daily for themselves as the LORD commanded, the foolish counterfeits among us are always looking for the next documentary, docuseries, or movie satan’s pawns put out. These people are departed from Christ – they do not love the truth and God Himself has turned them over to “strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be DAMNED.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) Yes, if you don’t love and obey the truth of the Word of God you are under “strong delusion” and guaranteed to be “damned” to hell and the lake of fire eternally, irrevocably.

“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that PERISH; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them STRONG DELUSION, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be DAMNED who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 

Those not in Christ truly, loving and obeying His truth are under “the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.”

Ever notice that the same demonic pawns who run around encouraging everyone to watch The Chosen or some other delusion are never heard encouraging those around them to GET INTO GOD’S WORD for themselves?! God commanded it and all who refuse prove they do not love the LORD and His truth and will perish, sure as they are breathing. Repent now vile sinner. Lay down your life and follow Jesus for real.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

“Jonathan Roumie, the “Jesus” actor from THE CHOSEN is a CATHOLIC knighted into the order of the KNIGHTS OF MALTA.” Erik van Niekerk

“Come out of her” or perish.

Stop to discern: There is no cross, no repentance, no saving grace, no blood of Jesus, no Christology (the study of Christ), no holiness, no Heaven, no hell, no salvation by grace through faith, and no return of Christ in this false gospel message. These people are agents of Satan and are “accursed” of God for preaching “another gospel.” (Galatians 1:6-9) WHO do you fear? God is calling you to “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)

“You know a Jesuit was used as a Consultant in this made up series don’t you? A lot of Catholicism. I agree with many things Newsmax or sometimes what I call Faux News says. I noticed though Every time Newsmax interviews a Baptist or whatever, the images they show of a church is always full of Catholic stuff. They usually say people of Faith instead of Christians. They interviewed a guy not long ago and again, you have images of a child praying with the beads and crucifix. A big Cathedral looking building, subtil just like the serpent. They talk all patriotic, but they lean toward and lure people toward Rome. Same with Fox. They’re all Catholic on both stations, even liberal Rachel Maddow is of MSNBC. Her and Roger Aisles who was 2nd in charge of Fox when he was alive were college friends. Rachel has said she’s gay and very Catholic. Some say they think the Antichrist will come from Europe, but most people that started the U.S. came from Europe. It seems Rome has it’s claws in High places of Government, Law, Media, and Entertainment in America. Yea this trash TV series I see people leaving comments on how they love it and some say ‘that’s just how I imagined Jesus to be’. ‘Imagined’ being the key word here, all it does is add and take away from God’s Word.” Dale

“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:11

SO you have the wherewithal to tell someone to watch the Catholic production called “The Chosen” but not to tell people to get into God’s Word for themselves? Repent now and be saved before it’s too late you vile sinner. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17, etc.

FROM A FRIEND: “This is a post that was sent to me over the chosen, I really liked this show, but the director is ecumenical, he is being interviewed by a Mormon. And Dallas says that Bible believing Christians believe in the same Jesus. I stopped watching and supporting it.”

“How sad to be given the privilege to play the part of Jesus, yet to be under the influence of satan. He is an actor getting paid and nothing else to go with it but evil in his real life. Never watched the Chosen and will cross it off my list.” Ron

“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

There’s no such thing as an idol worshipping born again Christian.

2 Corinthians 11:2-5 speaks of “another Jesus” and that would be what Catholics worship.

Idols and Devils are Inseparable – All who worship 1 or more idols have devils!

“And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship DEVILS, and IDOLS of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:” Revelation 9:20

The Roman Catholic Cult is the Land of Idols, Soul Damning Idolatry

The ancient Roman cult teaches that the elements, the wheat and wine, literally become the actual, literal body and blood of Jesus Christ when the costume-clad sinner “priest” waves his hand over those elements.

CATHOLIC EUCHARIST: Hocus Pocus, and wham, wheat becomes the eternal God of the whole Universe, right? This is bizarre at best. You are smarter than that. Where’s the DNA proof? There is none and will never be. Many Christians believe that the Christian tradition of communion is the same as the Catholic tradition of the Eucharist. But this is not so. The Eucharist (i.e., Transubstantiation) is a Catholic term for communion when the bread and the wine supposedly become the very, the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ; thus when taken, the partaker is said to experience the presence of Jesus but we know that’s a demon, “another Jesus” and not Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 11:4). These transformed elements are placed in what is called a monstrance and can then be worshipped as if worshipping Jesus Himself. The implications are tied in with salvation. In the Catholic system, with the Eucharist, salvation becomes sacramental which is a participation in the mass which is a dark ritual that supposes to re-sacrifice Christ. And that means they deny His perfect sacrifice on the cross. It denies His one time sinless sacrifice He made on the cross and said “It is finished” which means “paid in full.” (John 19:30) This is diametrically opposed to biblical doctrine, essential of justification by faith in Christ alone (Romans 5:1-2, etc.). This mystical experience called the Eucharist is clearly a form of gross idolatry and more as well as the very heart of Catholicism. The Catholic religion stands or falls on this their most cardinal dogma. And it’s a fail because they simply cannot prove to the DNA level with empirical evidence that the elements become anything other than simple wheat (bread) and wine (or grape juice). Debunked.

WILL THE REAL SAVIOR PLEASE STAND UP – is a wheat wafer the way people, eternal souls are saved from sin and eternal damnation? OR is Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father, the only way, as the Bible teaches us? (John 14:6) Was a piece of wheat born of a virgin? Did a piece of wheat die on that cross? Was a piece of wheat raised from the dead? OR, was the Son of God? Jesus’ teaching in John 6 is not about communion. Has nothing to do with it.

CATHOLIC TEACHING ON TRANSUBSTANTIATION is a complete theological statement and the name of a doctrine, out of which springs the most astounding set of beliefs and practices that have ever been taught in the name of religion. Yet few people know what the Catholic Church actually believes and teaches concerning this subject.

>>>TRANSUBSTANTIATION CHALLENGE: PLEASE PROVIDE “EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE” –  If the wheat wafer and wine TRULY become the actual and literal body & blood of Jesus Christ, as the Catholic church teaches, then let’s do a DNA test to see what the composition of the elements truly are.  That fair?  Clue: Do they taste like flesh and blood, or bread and wine?

CATHOLIC MASS IS CLEARLY A MOCKERY AND BLASPHEMY AGAINST CHRIST’S FINISHED WORK – it supposes to re-sacrifice Christ who paid ONCE for all sins on the cross according to God’s Word.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS A RELIGION OF MERE SINFUL MEN WHILE CHRISTIANITY IS ALL ABOUT JESUS AND HIS WORD AND HOW HE DIED FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD.

THE MASS IMPARTS NO GRACE – ONLY GOD CAN DO THAT.

DID YOU KNOW THAT drinking blood is forbidden by God?  Lev 7:27 “Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people”  BOTH TESTAMENTS CONDEMN DRINKING BLOOD – ACTS 15:28. So, why would the Son of God instruct us to do such (transubstantiation)??

Ask yourself …DID JESUS TELL HIS DISCIPLES TO GATHER WITH CUPS IN HAND UNDER THE CROSS WHILE HE WAS DYING SO THEY COULD GET SOME OF HIS LITERAL BLOOD TO DRINK?  WHY WOULD THE SON OF GOD TEACH ANYONE TO DRINK BLOOD – SOMETHING HE FORBIDS?

JESUS WOULD NEVER DO A “MIRACLE” (transubstantiation) CONTRADICTING WHAT HE ALREADY TOLD US IN HIS WORD – that drinking blood is a sin?

Jesus says we must repent to be saved (Luke 13:3,5)  NO REPENTANCE NEEDED TO SIMPLY INGEST (EAT) A PIECE OF WHEAT weekly, right?

HELL IS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO WENT TO A CHURCH BUILDING AND TOOK A PIECE OF WHEAT IN THEIR MOUTHS – THINKING THEY WERE RECEIVING JESUS.

Do YOU personally believe the elements become the ACTUAL body and blood of Jesus????? Are you that dishonest? If this were true, where’s the DNA evidence that the wheat you eat is Jesus’ actual flesh and the wine is His literal blood?

Biblical communion is a memorial of the love of Jesus for us, of His death on the cross, not the worship of a piece of mere wheat, deceitfully pretending to cannibalistically eat the actual, literal body of Jesus, something He never told us to do, nor drink His blood. No, instead of drinking His literal blood, the Bible says we are justified by God as we have faith in his blood.” (Romans 3:25)

Salvation is through Christ, the divine Person. The Catholic “jesus” is a piece of wheat that supposedly becomes God.

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9

The Curse of a Divided Heart and Blessing of a Whole Heart! [podcast]


Israel’s heart was divided. The solution.

Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images … 12  Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.” Hosea 10:2, 12 

King Asa: Tragic end of an otherwise obedient, fruitful, God-glorifying life….

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

King Asa trusted the physicians and not the LORD and he paid dearly.

“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

Feet speak of foundation. Without feet, physically we cannot stand. Without a sound foundation of truth, of God’s Word in our lives, we shall not stand. Read Matthew 7:19-29.

One writes notes the following about the meaning of feet in God’s Word:

“Why Are Feet Important in the Bible? Just as men and women stand upon their feet as the foundation of upright posture, Bible verses also use feet as a euphemism to represent a strong foundation in various circumstances. Feet are not referenced as we see them today, but they are used as symbols to represent greater metaphorical concepts, such as guidance or direction.

The feet represented something that was common to all people but used differently. For example, one of the most noted scripture texts involving feet is Psalm 119:105, ‘Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.’ This emphasizes how the feet are used to travel and traverse. Yet, without the word, the traveler is left walking in the dark without a known path.

Essentially, the feet are referenced as a critical part of life as walking was commonplace. We naturally travel where our feet lead us and the Bible verses use feet to represent a means of traveling through life itself. If we walk down a dark path, we are likely to stumble. If we walk down a holy path, we are sure to please God. All of this is facilitated symbolically by the feet.”

The foundation truth we learn in God’s Word and obedience to it determines the direction of our lives.

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.” Colossians 2:6-7

Becoming Rooted and Grounded in Christ

Like Asa, many today trust the counsel of mere men, such as doctors and not God. This doesn’t mean going to a doctor is a sin and yet, the true disciple will primarily trust and obey and be led of the LORD, not men.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

Read Hebrews 3-4 prayerfully for the eternal danger of having “an evil heart of unbelief” AFTER being saved. Repentance required.

“They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.” Psalms 12:2 

Got depression? Are you seeking the LORD in true repentance whereby He will grant you great joy? (Psalms 51; 2 Timothy 1:7) Or, are you seeking out and trusting the mere human, the finite pundits of this fleeting world?

“But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.” Job 13:4

Those who trust human physicians and not the Great Physician, are cursed, not blessed. Their faith in mere men reveals their utter rebellion.

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

2 Chronicles 15:17 – Upon becoming king in Judah, Asa, having inherited an idolatrous, lukewarm people, system… he began to command that…

  • The people do that which is right in God’s eyes (2 Chronicles 14:2)
  • That all idolatrous altars we torn down (2 Chronicles 14:3)
  • That God’s people seek His face (2 Chronicles 14:4)
  • That idol altars in the cities of Judah be removed – “and the kingdom was quiet before him” (2 Chronicles 14:5)  ….. Proverbs 1:33
  • Fenced cities be built …. so the land could be at rest, at peace, and not fear the enemy (2 Chronicles 14:6)
  • The people be involved in building fenced, walled, protected cities – “Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.” (2 Chronicles 14:7)  ……  1 Chron 16:11
  • Great military be built (2 Chronicles 14:8)

“The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and IFFFF ye seek him, he will be found of you; but IF ye forsake him, he will forsake you.” 2 Chronicles 15:2

“But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.” 2 Chronicles 15:17

“Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.” Hebrews 11:20-22 

“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalms 9:17 

“Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.” Psalms 50:22 

“Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.” 2 Chronicles 20:20 

God blesses those who trust Him and curses, removes His blessings from those who once trusted Him and yet now have forgotten Him. When we willingly offer ourselves as living sacrifices to the LORD our God, He avenges us of all our enemies (Judges 5:2) …. “But IF thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.” (Exodus 23:22) 

“WHEN” does God avenge us of our enemies? “WHEN” does God judge our enemies?

“Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, WHEN the people willingly offered themselves.” Judges 5:2

When we offer our lives a living sacrifice unto the LORD – that is, we simply surrender this life to Him – the subduing of our enemies begins.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

Asa reigned as king in Judah for 39 years (2 Chronicles 14-16).

In his final days, after obeying God and bringing much needed reform to the people of God, Asa forgot the LORD, and had grown cold in his faith and was therefore cursed with a divided heart.

All those who trust mere men, just because they have a white coat on and are called “doctor”, are going to die as did king Asa who trusted in earthly physicians, instead of the Great Physician! Repent now sinner.

“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

Are you a pessimistic pansy or an optimistic overcomer? Are you like the 10 spies or the 2 who entered the promised land while the 10 sad sack whiners were shut out? “The righteous are bold as a lion.” (Proverbs 28:1) Jesus asks “WHERE is your faith?” (Luke 8:25) Repenting for real and putting all your trust in the LORD is essential – and no one will be in the promise land of Heaven without sound, solid faith in God. “Without faith it is impossible to please him.” (Hebrews 11:6). “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) 

Read Revelation 2-3.

Remember the woman Jesus, the Great Divine Physician made whole of her issue who had previously spent all she had on human physicians?

“And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him (accessed by faith in Him), turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith (in God not men) hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.” Mark 5:25-34 

You claim to be trusting God but you take a mood drug? I don’t think so. MOOD DRUGS ARE FOR THE WICKED UNBELIEVERS. PERIOD. REPENT.

When a person resorts to using a drug to uplift their mood, they are loving and believing the world more than God, forfeiting the blessing of God for a cheap substitute, and manifesting their contempt for the LORD, their unbelief. A born again, presently abiding disciple of Jesus has all the fruit of the Holy Spirit which include, “Love, joy, peace…” (Galatians 5:22-23) God gives His people “power… love, and a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7) God’s Word has the answer to “ALL things that pertain unto life and godliness” and that specifically includes a “sound mind.” (2 Peter 1:3-4) Holy Scripture specifically uses the terms “sound mind” and “sound heart” which come only from learning and adhering to “sound doctrine.”

We live in a fallen world and were born in sin. Via the things that have happened to us and that we ourselves have perpetrated on others, fragmentation of our hearts has occurred. Only One can make us whole.

“And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 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, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:17-19

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” Psalms 147:3

Counting it all Joy

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” James 1:2-8

Through the trials we face in this life, we must learn to “count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations”, trust God not men, ask for and rely on His wisdom and not waver, but rather finished our course trusting and walking with Christ to the end of our lives.

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:” 2 Timothy 4:7

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:10-12

The Whole Heart

“And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.” 2 Chronicles 15:15

The result of seeking the LORD with a whole heart is that He gives us “rest round about.”

“But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” Proverbs 1:33

9 Times in the book of Psalms the words “Whole Heart” appear. Here’s the first 3 of that collection:

“I will praise thee, O LORD, with my WHOLE HEART; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.” Psalms 9:1

“Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my WHOLE HEART, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.” Psalms 111:1

“Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the WHOLE HEART.” Psalms 119:2

PRAYER: Dear heavenly Father, I have sinned against You by not wholly trusting You. I have not sought You with my whole heart. Here and now I confess this for the evil sin of unbelief and rebellion that it is and ask You to please forgive me now in the name of Jesus. Please wash me afresh from all my sins with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Also please make my heart whole and increase and fill me with Your faith Father, and cause me to trust You with all of my heart, no matter what. I love You my dear LORD. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“Hi Todd. I just want to make sure that when I’m talking about salvation but I am being biblically correct. I don’t believe in once saved always saved. While I believe God is always willing to forgive and restore the backslider. I do believe that a person can choose to turn away from God and go back to living a life of sin they’re for forfeiting their eternal life. Any correction would be greatly appreciated. In Christ. Andrea”

“NEVER take a Vacation from God” [podcast]


God’s Word teaches us to be diligent in knowing and following Christ – even when the word diligent is not used.

Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11

Make the deliberate decision to “set…

“Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the Lord.”  1 Chronicles 22:19

“Don’t you EVER take a vacation from God!” said my first pastor.

This beloved  brother knew exactly what happens when the disciple relaxes in his seeking of the LORD. Think foolish virgins. The result can be deadly, irrevocably.

He was dead on in this warning. Give the flesh an inch and it will take a mile, right?

Have you ever slipped backward? If so, you know it started with just not reading God’s Word one day. That one day turned into two, three…. Right?

Never must this happen. The war is won in the now. You must “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8).

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

God requires that we “give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall” (2 Peter 1:10).

It’s only those who remain built up in Christ like the wise virgins of Jesus’ parable, who “keep” themselves “in the love of God” who are not going to fall away.

“But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. … Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.” Jude 20-25

Jesus warns:

“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41

How did this kind of wisdom get lost from us beloved of God?

The disciple must get out ahead of the flesh. He must be one step ahead – knowing by testimony of the Word and by personal experience that there is “NO good thing” in us other than Jesus (Romans 7:18). This is exactly why Paul also said things like:

“I die daily.” 1 Corinthians 15:31

“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

Exhorting the sheep of Christ, one pastor said:

“Have fun this summer.  Enjoy the outdoors. Travel to see friends and family. Explore the world.  Just don’t take a vacation from God.  He loves you more than you can imagine and wants to keep refilling your sack with his awesome gifts so that you can keep sharing them with others in your life!”

“The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.” Proverbs 13:19

Various Quotes on the Importance of Diligence

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.”Calvin Coolidge

“But I never could have done what I have done, without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence…”―Charles Dickens

“Prefer diligence before idleness, unless you esteem rust above brightness.”―Plato

“Diligence is the mother of good fortune.”Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

“Amateurs look for inspiration; the rest of us just get up and go to work.”―Chuck Close

“If he [Thomas Edison] had a needle to find in a haystack, he would not stop to reason where it was most likely to be, but would proceed at once with the feverish diligence of a bee, to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search.”―Nikola Tesla

“Laziness looks at excuses as something to treasure while diligence always focuses on excuses as an inconvenience to be overcome.”Dr. Lucas D.  Shallua

“The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.”―Thomas Alva Edison

“That which ordinary men are fit for, I am qualified in, and the best of me is diligence.”William Shakespeare

“Active valour may often be the present of nature; but such patient diligence can be the fruit only of habit and discipline.”―Edward Gibbon

“Diligence overcomes difficulties; sloth makes them.”―Benjamin Franklin

“The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.” Proverbs 26:13

In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.” Proverbs 14:23

“Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;” 1 Peter 1:13

“Wherefore – Having such encouragement. Gird up the loins of your mind – As persons in the eastern countries were wont, in travelling or running, to gird up their long garments, so gather ye up all your thoughts and affections, and keep your mind always disencumbered and prepared to run the race which is set before you. Be watchful – As servants that wait for their Lord. And hope to the end – Maintain a full expectation of all the grace – The blessings flowing from the free favour of God. Which shall be brought to you at the final revelation of Jesus Christ – And which are now brought to you by the revelation of Christ in you.“―John Wesley

“Slothfulness (laziness, lack of diligence) casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.” Proverbs 19:15

Power Words Power our Lives!

Remember those power words your parents instilled in your growing up? Remember things like “readers are leaders”? How about “The early bird gets the worm”?

What are some of the good words your beloved parents instilled in you as a child that live on in your mind and heart daily?

My beloved father taught us five to “always be consistent.” Oh and these weren’t just words. Oh no. My brother and I are only 13 months apart and so when we started playing football at about 6 years old, my parents set us down and looked us in the eyes and said “If you start this football season, you WILL finish. We require it of you, so count the cost.”

Nothing replaces consistency. Say it out loud with me right now beloved of God – CONSISTENCY.

While we’re on this topic, I hope you won’t mind me saying that it is befuddling to see how people start doing something that works and then quit – from a work out program to a lifestyle change in eating and most devastatingly, serving God then quitting.

Wait a minute, you were doing _______ and it was working, was blessing you, and then you quit?

Hebrews 10:32-39

“But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
33  Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
34  For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
35  Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36  For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37  For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38  Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39  But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.”

Hebrews 6:9-12

“But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. 10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”

62 times the words “diligent,” “diligence,” and “diligently” appear in Holy Scripture.

Each time we read these words, they pertain specifically to serving God “diligently” with “diligence.”

“Diligent”

“He becometh poor (spiritually) that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich (spiritually).” Proverbs 10:4


“Diligence”

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23


“Diligently”

appears 37 times in God’s Word

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that DILIGENTLY seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

“Looking DILIGENTLY lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;” Hebrews 12:15

“Keep your dukes up!”

Growing up boxing, from home training to being on a golden gloves team in high school, the command of the coaches was always and repeatedly “Keep your dukes up!”

Those who drop their dukes, their hands from covering their face, get hit, get knocked out.

Another sign on the wall of that boxing facility was: “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” unknown

We are going to go through what Jesus foretold:

“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” Matthew 24:21-22 

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, in the name of Jesus I come to You now. Please forgive my sins of self-idolatry, slothfulness, and spiritual adultery.

“Simple Concerning Evil” [podcast]


Holy Scripture uses the phrase “simple concerning evil.”

“For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple (innocent) concerning evil.” Romans 16:19

“But I would have you – Not only obedient, but discreet also. Wise with regard to that which is good – As knowing in this as possible. And simple with regard to that which is evil – As ignorant of this as possible.” John Wesley

Concerning Romans 16:19 Donald Stamps writes:

“God wants believers to be innocent (Gk. akeraios) in what is evil; this word means ‘unmixed’ or ‘pure,’ i.e., innocent like a child whose mind has not yet been exposed to evil or mixed with the values of the world (cf.1 Cor. 14:20). (1) This biblical principle is in direct opposition to the idea advocated by some that children of Christians should be exposed to sin, immorality, ungodliness, and the things of Satan in order to learn to confront temptation. Some suggest that children need not be guarded from ungodliness. However, according to biblical revelation, the philosophy is not only against God’s will for the believer, but also represents Satan’s own desire that everyone be exposed to the knowledge of good and evil (Gen. 3:5). (2) Knowledge of evil, along with continual exposure to Satan’s ways, will lead many from the path of faith and obedience. Lot found this out to his deep sorrow, losing his entire family for this reason (Gen. 13:12-13; 19:1-38). Scripture warns that ‘evil communications’ (i.e., company) corrupt good manners (1 Cor. 15:33), and that ‘Jesus Christ … gave himself … that he might deliver us from this present evil world’ (Gal. 1:3-4). Those who advocate exposing innocent children to an ungodly environment and/or influence are in danger of violating Jesus’ warning in Matthew 18:6. (3) Believers should do all within their means and power to guard their children from being exposed to the deceitfulness and sin and the perverseness of this generation. To refuse to protect our children in this respect disregards the Holy Spirit’s desire that they be innocent and babes regarding what is evil.” Donald Stamps, Life in the Spirit Study Bible, p. 1959

Spoil the innocence of a child or others and God will spoil, bring ruin to you.

“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Matthew 18:6

“Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.” 1 Corinthians 14:20

Concerning the fact and principle of offering children to Satan on the altar of Moloch, one source notes the following:

“Based on historical and biblical accounts, child sacrifice to Moloch was a Canaanite and Phoenician ritual, often described as offering children to a deity in a “tophet” (place of burning). Scholars interpret this act as a desperate attempt to appease a god associated with the underworld or to ensure divine favor in exchange for the ultimate sacrifice.

Why Children Were Offered to Moloch:

Appeasement of a Deity: Moloch (or Mlk) is identified by some scholars as an underworld deity or a Phoenician god linked to the underworld, requiring the ultimate sacrifice to ensure favor or safety.”

“Lot … Pitched His Tent Toward Sodom”

“Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. 13  But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.” Genesis 13:12-13

Of the act of Lot pitching his tent toward Sodom, the late Donald Stamps wrote:

“PITCHED HIS TENT TOWARD SODOM. Lot’s great failure was that he loved personal gain more than he hated the wickedness of Sodom (v10-13). (1) If he had loved righteousness sufficiently (see Heb. 1:9), it would have caused him to remain separate from the wicked ways of sinful people. Instead he tolerated evil and chose to live in wicked Sodom (v13). Perhaps he reasoned that the material advantages, culture, and pleasures of Sodom outweighed the dangers, and that he was strong enough to remain faithful to God. Thus, he exposed himself and his family to the immorality, and ungodliness of Sodom, only to learn the bitter lesson that his family was not strong enough to resist its evil influences (Gen. 19:24-26; 30-38). (2) Parents must be careful not to place themselves or their children in a “Sodom,” lest they come to spiritual ruin as did the family of Lot.” Donald Stamps, Life in the Spirit Study Bible, p. 27

“Although Lot was distressed by the filthy deeds he saw and heard (2 Pet. 2:7-8), he still was willing to tolerate the wickeness of Sodom for social and material advantages (13:12 note). This compromise brought tragedy to his family (v24). Likewise, believers today who expose their families to ungodly environments and evil influences for social or material gain are setting themselves up for family tragedies.” Donald Stamps, Life in the Spirit Study Bible, p. 34

Gentlemen, if we lust for the things of this world, it will cause us to sacrifice God’s truth on the altar of our greed and cause needless destruction in our families.

Ephesians 5:1-17

“1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 

2  And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 

3  But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 

4  Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 

5  For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 

6  Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 

7  Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 

8  For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 

9  (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 

10  Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 

11  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 

12  For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 

13  But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 

14  Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 

15  See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 

16  Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” 

“And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. 18  And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19  And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” Mark 4:17-19

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” 1 John 2:15

“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8

Key to a pure, innocent heart…. is that the LORD Almighty is truly first in our lives, that we are truly one with Him—just as Jesus prayed in John 17. The futile god of self must be denounced, as well as the sin of spiritual adultery and idolatry.

“Keep thyself pure.” 1 Timothy 5:22

PRAYER: “LORD, right this moment, I release everything and everyone that I might be holding onto tighter than You….I will have no other god before You dear LORD…You Jesus Alone Are My LORD And Savior. In Jesus’ name. Amen.” Marlene Austin
