The world has never more needed the example of Christ depicted in His Good Samaritan parable.
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
Christ’s saints are to be integrally, literally involved in helping others (1 John 3:14-22).
Luke 10:25-37
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
ARE YOU being the good Samaritan today or the Priest and Levite? What’s the difference?
“Condescend (stoop down in humility) to men of low estate.” Romans 12:16
FB Meyer on this parable of the Good Samaritan
“Luke 10:25-37
THE MAN WHO LOVED HIS NEIGHBOR
This parable was probably suggested by the journey up to Jerusalem. It may be founded on an actual occurrence. Notice how the Master answered the inquiry, Who is my neighbor? He said in effect: The question is not, Who will “neighbor” you? but, Whom will you “neighbor?” You ought to ask, Who wants my help? Neighborhood consists, not in what you receive, but in what you give. It is independent of race, creed and the ordinary sentiment of pity. Love overleaps all these distinctions and risks its very life in order to render help. In fact, this parable is a very poem of Love. It is to be compared with 1Co_13:1-13.
Notice those two clauses, He took care of him and Take care of him, Luk_10:34-35. It is thus that our Lord deals with us. When we are too far gone to ask for His help, He comes to our side and restores our ebbing life; and He raises up others to do the same. At the best, we are pilgrims and refresh ourselves in inns, but the home awaits us yonder! Begin by loving with your ‘strength’ and you will end with the ‘heart!'”
WHO are we in this parable? Are we the priest, the Levite, or the good Samaritan? In other words, are we real disciples, or are we fake religionists?
The refusal to help someone in need is a clear revelation of the disdain for God in the heart of the priest, the Levite. Counterfeit religionists.
God is Watching
ARE YOU PERSONALLY STANDING UP TO DEFEND, TO RENDER AID… to those who are unjustly dealt with, the poor? ALL who truly saved are. Everyone else is consumed with the sinful god of self. Read the resumé of the wicked, who are said to have a “form of godliness.” Read 2 Timothy 3:1-13. Repent and obey Jesus or perish (Matthew 7:19-21).
“If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. 11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; 12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?” Proverbs 24:10-12
Why do the priests and Levites of this parable of the Good Samaritan ignore the needs of others? It’s because they were unrepentant and full of self, just as was prophesied of this last generation before Jesus’ return – where false professors, counterfeits would be “lovers of their own selves” and therefore could care less about anyone else but themselves (2 Timothy 3:1-13).
Those not actively involved in the Great Commission work of Christ prove they love self and not the Savior. Counterfeits.
“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” Titus 1:16
ALL who know and love the Savior are busy primarily, most prominently, about the “Father’s business.” (Luke 2:49) They have laid down their own lives in this fleeting work and are abandoned to Christ’s work. Daily they deny self, take up the cross (crucified life), and follow Jesus authentically (Luke 9:23-24; 13:3; 14:27, 33; 17:33; 19:27).
“Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:19-21
Saving grace, when a person is possessed by it, enables over coming sin and makes them free to obey God (Romans 6:14; Titus 2:11-12). Anything less is a lie.
“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. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” 1 John 2:15-17
If you are not actively, today, busy about the “Father’s business” … you have chose to reject Christ and are His very enemy (Matthew 12:30; Luke 2:49; 19:27).
“But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.” Luke 19:27
Read that again. Who did Jesus say His “enemies” are?
Who is reigning in your life, on the throne of your heart today?
IF you are not seeking, serving, worship, obeying Jesus, you are separated from Him – you have rejected the Son of God. Read Matthew 7:13-29 and 1 John 3. You are hell bound. 100% you are a counterfeit and your fake “Christianity” of church attendance, etc. is a flimsy sham you hide behind. God sees right through it and is calling you to repent at once.
Jesus says “Come unto me.” (Matthews 11:28-30) Repentance alone will yield the refreshing of Heaven in your life. | Fresh Start with God
Jesus is the Ultimate Good Samaritan
All who truly love the Bridegroom supremely will follow Him – as He laid down His life for us, so shall we lay down our lives for Him.
The depth of the death and burial in your life is going to determine the height of the resurrection in your life (2 Corinthians 4:10-12). Nothing is going to work right without the cross at the center of your life – Christ’s redeeming cross, and the one He commanded you to take up daily (Matthew 20:38-39; Luke 9:23-24).
DO YOU really want to die as you are? Are you in prayer and ACTION in the Great Commission? If not, do you really think you will hear from Jesus “Well done”? Or will you hear “Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matthew 25:21,23, 41).
“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. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” Matthew 25:45-46
When we don’t help Christ’s sheep and His work, and others in need, we are an afront the bless-ed Savior – “ye did it not to me.” “Everlasting punishment” in hell awaits those who are not participating in the work of Christ. They prove they do not love Him supremely. Yet “life eternal” awaits those who are doers of the work of God, who participating in the “Father’s business.” (Luke 2:49) They prove their love for Jesus by their obedience to Him (John 14:15, 21-24; Titus 1:16; James 1:22; 2; 1 John 2:3-6; 3:1-10, etc.).
“Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:20-21
All who don’t have the “fruit” of Good Samaritan good works prove they are not known of the Father and will not be with Him. Such are in utter need of true repentance (Matthew 3:7-10).
Neglecting to help others in need, to participating in the work of the Gospel, the Great Commission, is sin. God sees it – He sees that you have ability to pray, to act, to give and is holding you personally responsible to obey Him with what He has given you to use for His glory.
God sees it. The sin of omission.
Enduring to the end in saving faith, is essential to eternal glory (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; Colossians 1:22-23; Hebrews 3:6, 12-15; 10:26-39).
“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:” Revelation 2:26
Modern Laodicea
America is the doorway to hell – with the complete abuse of liberty and riches by the vast majority who claim they are saved. But God is going to judge each of us on the basis of His written Word, not according to that which laughingly calls itself “Christian” in America.
Hell is full of “good church members” who bid Godspeed to wolves who use them to build their own church “business” empire (2 John 9-11).
When’s the last time you fasted with prayer? When’s the last time you personally led someone to Jesus? WHO are you putting the Word of God into the heart of?
Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan is playing out before our very eyes (Luke 10:25-37).
Just like the religious priest and levite, the false professors of our day refuse to stop and render aid, practical help to the hurting. Instead they raise their noses undergirded by their false excuses – and God sees it all (Proverbs 24:10-12). Case in point is how many have done zero, have not even whispered a prayer for the unjustly jailed innocent J6ers, 1600 of them. When they were given the bless-ed opportunity to give so that the Scripture-rich ministry books could be sent to the J6ers, they refused to lift a finger to send even $10 or $20. Thank God for those very few who gave. In doing so you have treasure in Heaven waiting (Matthew 6:19-24). You are the good samaritans of our day, of these final days before our LORD returns!
The religious priests and Levites of today are those who have no charity, no love in action, proving they are goats who will be separated from the sheep of Christ’s pasture and vanquished into the flaming prison of fire. They were too busy justifying their demonic hatred for the man who GOD raised up and is using to set those innocents free. Trump.
Do we begin to see that this is much deeper, eternally deeper and more significant than a man, a candidate? See 1 John 3:16-22.
We are seeing the separation between Christ’s sheep and the goats (Matthew 25).
Maybe in His mercy, in the days ahead, God will allow these goats to be unjustly incarcerated for themselves to see how it feels. That would be mercy – because these people are as sure for hell – to be irrevocably incarcerated therein – as if they were already there.
They are “lovers of their own selves” and so have no heart for anyone else. They have a mere “form of godliness” (2 Timothy 3:1-13). They won’t so much as give up 4 cups of coffee monthly to feed the poor, to help fund the preaching of the Gospel to the lost.
Talk is cheap.
“Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” Matthew 7:19
It’s simple: Repent and bring forth fruit meet for, consistent with, true repentance (Matthew 3:7-10). Render aid to those in need around you. Abandon your life in this world. Deny self. Take up the cross daily. Follow Jesus, or perish in the the flames of eternal damnation, world with out end, as a counterfeit, a self-serving rebel.
Perhaps the priest and Levite (mere religionists) who passed by and refused to help the man who was robbed and left for dead thought within themselves…. “Well, I help people at my local church. I give at the church.” But Jesus condemned both those religionists and confirmed the Good Samaritan.
Crushing the Lies – the Priest and the Levite Live Today
“The Parable of the man left by the side of the road, wounded and left for dead (Luke 10:25-37), serves as a model for the great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), and represents loving Jesus with your whole heart, soul and mind and your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22: 34-40). The man in this Parable represents all of humanity in their fallen state. A dying world. Dead in their trespasses, with no hope. The medicine is the blood of Christ that can give us peace with God and cleanse us from our sins. V34 ‘Set him on his own beast,’ meaning the good Samaritan walked along side him. We are to be the good Samaritans who bring the lost to Jesus. Do we have compassion on the lost as Jesus did (Mark 6: 34)? Or are we selfish and too self-absorbed to see the people who are lying by the side of the road dying in their sin and in need of Jesus? Like the Priests and Levites did in the story, they passed by blinded by their own selfishness.” Karen Cochran
All organized religion is 100% false. It’s puts out the fire of the people. Christ did not come to begin a new religion but rather to establish His kingdom in the hearts of men (Matthew 16:18). Jesus says “Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3, 7). Religion is not the way to Jesus – Jesus is the way to the Father (John 14:6; 1 Timothy 2:5). Satan’s religions, while promising to be the way to God actually subvert the Gospel of Christ and prevent men from knowing Him, sending them to a devil’s hell irrevocably. This is something you never hear in organized liturgical cults or any organized churches. Repent now and follow Jesus only – according to HIS written Word (KJB). Or perish in the flames of eternal damnation. There is only one LORD, Savior, Redeemer, and KING – JESUS CHRIST. Make peace with God now – before it’s too late.

WHAT you are spending your time and money on reveals exactly what’s important to you, what you value, where your heart truly is.

Money, Material Wealth, and Riches [podcast]
We know Jesus has mercifully found and saved and is taking care of us. And so we join the ultimate Good Samaritan, the Savior, in reaching out, taking care of, ministering to, loving others.
Do you desire for God to use you mightily as He did in the story of the Good Samaritan?
Stop. Surrender.
“If you see someone falling behind, walk beside them. If you see someone being ignored, find a way to include them. If someone has been knocked down (by life), lift them up. Always remind people that they are the very creation of God who has a special purpose for them in His family and in this temporal world. One small act could mean the world to them.” unknown
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:58

“And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.” 2 Corinthians 5:15
Precious one of the LORD, do people around you see Jesus? Do they see something in your life that is presently absent from their own life?
PRAYER: Holy Father, You are the Potter and I am Your clay. Please pour the water of Your Holy Spirit on my heart to make me poor and pure in heart. Please grant me to have an heart of flesh. Take away the stony places of my heart which were caused by my own rebellion, my own sin – namely self-righteousness, self-idolatry, pride, and unbelief. Please have Your way in my life. Here and now, I lay my life in Your hands. From this moment forward, not my will but Thine be done dear Jesus! Now please use me to help, to lift up the downtrodden. In Jesus’ name, amen.

“Lord, Teach us to Pray” [podcast]

“Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.” 1 John 1:3
Prayer is simply communing with God.
“One of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray.” Luke 11:1
“Lord, teach us to pray.” Christ’s disciples today should ask the LORD to “teach us to pray.” The disciples called on Jesus to teach them to pray—to have a prayer life, to live a life of prayer, to commune with Him and the Father perpetually. Christ answered them and us by giving the whole Church a model prayer to be followed in spontaneous and joyful relationship. Here it is:
“And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a
certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples
said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also
taught his disciples. 2 And he said unto them,
When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3
Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive
us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is
indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.” Luke 11:1-4
When addressing the remove of the words “Our” and “which art in heaven” by the fake, the corrupted “bibles,” one writes asks:
“Is your Bible geared to glorify antichrist? Is your Bible going to be used by antichrist to convince you he is Jesus?” unknown
Jesus is coming—ready or not.
“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41
Prayer is to spiritual life what breathing is to the natural life. If you stop breathing, you die. If we don’t “pray without ceasing” we will not be in the will of God, will not be obeying God, and will fall into temptation, into sin.
“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17
You cannot and will not overcome sin and Satan, the world, and the flesh, without living a life of prayer.
Prayer: Father in Heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask You
to teach me to pray. Here and now, I lay my life into Your holy
hands afresh. You must increase, and I must decrease. In the
name of Jesus, please bless this life to be dead and buried and
raised up by You, LORD. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Danger of Joining a Modern Church [podcast]

Fruit. Fruit. Fruit.
“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.” Matthew 12:33
Speaking of the pattern of one’s life, Jesus taught that a good tree cannot bear bad fruit. A bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know (discern) them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:15-20
Jesus commanded His people to “know” which is to discern all “by their fruits”—to be fruit inspectors—first in their own lives and then in all others (1 Corinthians 11:31-32; 2 Corinthians 13:5).
Personally, I fail to find anywhere that Jesus or His apostles instructed any saints to “go find a local church and plug in.” Hebrews 10:25 is peddled by pastors today who seek a loyal following instead of seeking to fulfill their God-given duties to establish their hearers in the faith, to ground them in God’s Word, to equip them for the work of the ministry, etc.
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25
Read that again please. Does it say to find a church? No. Those who are born again ARE already God’s “church” which simply means His called out people. More biblically, should we not simply be His church—His people, daily? This seems to be the pattern we see among the earliest followers of Jesus (Acts 2:42-47; 5:42; Colossians 3:16, etc.).
The authentic remnant elect of Christ do not patronize or bid Godspeed to false leaders (2 John 9-11; Revelation 2:2).
Refusing to sit under, condone, bid Godspeed to the false gospel, false doctrines, false teachers and wolves of the modern church … is not forsaking the assembly! Instead, it’s obedience to God who mandates that we “mark them,” that we “earnestly contend” against them, and warns us that anyone who bids Godspeed to them will be punished with them (Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3; 2 John 10-11).
If you are prone to cite Hebrews 10:25 to advocate for going to church weekly, consider where you learned that. In churches, right? Funny you probably don’t even have 10 Bible verses memorized and yet, to the benefit of the pastor, you know that one. What does this tell us? What does this reveal? What’s wrong with this picture?
What happens when people get loyal to a local church especially in this late hour where great apostasy was foretold? Here are a few obvious things that happen when someone “joins a church.”
- Most people who join churches today are not even born again, are not told they must repent and believe on Jesus to be born again. They become proud of their pastor and friends at that gathering (Zechariah 11:17).
- Church members are not learning the Word of God itself because they are simply being led by a wolf who is fostering their allegiance toward himself, not Christ (Colossians 2:8-10, 18-19; 3:1-4).
- They are not becoming soul winners (Proverbs 11:30; Luke 19:10).
- Attenders of modern churches are seldom if ever taught, established with personal knowledge of the Scriptures, the paramount truth that God’s Word itself is the final divine authority on all matters of the Christian faith and the practice of it (Deuteronomy 4:10; Psalms 119; 138:2; Isaiah 40:8; Mark 13:31; John 10:35; Romans 3:4; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21).
- The Bible message, warning to “love not the world” is seldom or never heard. Those who live worldly are separated from God (James 4:4; 1 John 2:15-17).
- Fake pastor do not teach people to get into God’s Word for themselves and so church attenders today are not in the Word daily for themselves which is by satanic design and therefore have no biblical foundation (Psalms 11:3; Matthew 7:19-29; 2 Timothy 2:15).
- When do we hear in modern churches that Jesus Christ is the Grand Subject of all of Holy Scripture? We don’t (Psalms 40:7-8; Luke 24:25-27, 44-46; John 5:39-40; 2 Peter 1:19-21).
- They are never taught the value God places upon good works in those He saves by His grace (Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 1:16; 3:8; 1 John 2:4).
- The Great Commission Jesus gave to His people is never mentioned and when it is, they’ve turned it into just another way of promoting themselves, their own brand, ministry (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 24:47; Book of Acts).
- They are not being equipped “for the work of the ministry” which is the duty being carried out by every authentic overseer of Christ’s church (Ephesians 4:11-12; 1 Peter 5:1-6).
- Never taught in the modern churches is the fact that God holds each person He saves personally responsible, personally accountable for following Jesus daily (Deuteronomy 24:16; Joshua 24:14-15; Luke 21:34-36; 2 Timothy 2:15; Hebrews 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39; 12:14; Revelation 2-3, etc.).
- Modern day church members are not in the Word for themselves and the pastors have led them to this biblical illiteracy because they are building a church busine$$ and dumb people are easy prey/targets to rob (Isaiah 9:16; 56:8-12; Jeremiah 23; Ezekiel 34; Matthew 23; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; 2 Timothy 4:2-4, etc.).
- Church goers are barely or never heard the essential cross message which Jesus requires to follow Him (Matthew 16:24-25; Luke 9:23-24; Romans 6; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; Colossians 3:3, etc.).
- They are never warned of going to hell if they die in sin (Ezekiel 33:12-13; Matthew 10:22; 24:13; Hebrews 3:6; 10:26-39; Revelation 21:8, 27).
- They are never taught that God is “Holy, holy, holy” and that He requires that those who are His be holy as He is holy (Isaiah 6:3; 1 Peter 1:15-16; Revelation 4:8).
- Those who attend a church are never informed that only those who overcome sin and Satan will be with Jesus eternally which is exactly what Christ told each and every one of the seven churches of Asia minor (Revelation 2-3).
- They are never taught that saving grace without exception results in the saved living according to the Scripture: “Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; (Titus 2:11-12).
- Members are taught the demonic lie of eternal security/once saved always saved , which is Satan’s first teaching and irrefutably led to the fall of mankind in the Garden (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).
- The mountains of warnings in Scripture are intentionally hidden from the congregational dupes who are willingly biblically ignorant, having rejected the knowledge/Word of God (Ezekiel 3:7; Hosea 4:6; 2 Corinthians 5:11; Colossians 1:28; Jude 3-4, etc.).
- Most church members are not taught that only those who remain in Christ after being saved will be with Him eternally (Matthew 25:1-13; John 15:6; Romans 11:20-22, etc.).
- Modern church attenders are seldom if ever warned to come out from this sinful world in the way they live (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1).
- They are lukewarm which means hell bound if they don’t repent (Luke 3:15-16).
- The original Gospel essential, the command to “repent” is never heard, even though it was the very first word spoken by John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostle Peter in their ministries (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30).
- Modern church members are merely a participant of a “Christian” social club seen nowhere in Scripture (Cp. Acts 2:42-47).
- Their loyalty and allegiance is toward the pastor, singing group, and fellow congregants (Proverbs 21:16).
- They are never taken through the volumes of Holy Scripture where God judged His very own people who backslid (Numbers 16; 25; Romans 11:20-22; 1 Corinthians 10:1-12; Hebrews 3-4; Jude 1).
- Church members are taught to become dependent on their church affiliation, connection, and attendance and not the LORD (Matthew 15:8).
- They are not daily seeking the face of the LORD (1 Chronicles 16:11; Psalms 27:4, 8; 57:7; 63:8; Matthew 6:33; Luke 9:23-24).
- Seminarian led church members are seldom if ever taught that for eternal glory with Him Jesus requires the decisive cutting off of the hand and plucking out of the eye of any sin that defiles them in the eyes of a holy God (Mark 9:43-49).
- When the Bible is literally read, 99% of the time it’s from a vatican corrupted fake “bible.”
- Most are barely if at all different from any lost soul around them in their daily life (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).
- Due to their own refusal to truly repent and walk with Jesus daily, they were sent strong delusion, are in darkness and deception, and therefore “remain in the congregation of the dead” (Proverbs 21:16).
“God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.” Psalms 89:7

The words “leader” and “leaders” appear 6 times (total) in God’s Word. It is always to be in context of servant leading (Matthew 20:20-28; 23:8-12; 1 Peter 5:1-6). In the following and most popular times “leaders” is used, it’s in the negative, as in false “leaders.”
“For the LEADERS of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” Isaiah 9:16
“Let them alone: they be blind LEADERS of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” Matthew 15:14
They love their darkness rather than the light of His truth and therefore craft, they erect the image of a false god in their wicked unrepentant hearts.
“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
“Jeremiah 7. The people were wicked and evil, placing their trust in the temple, instead of God, and believing their religious activities would be pleasing to the Lord. But they were committing all kinds of sins, deluding themselves into thinking that they were secure. God said, I will cast you out of my sight! And instructed Jeremiah not to pray for them. They refused to obey the Lord God nor receive correction, and the truth had perished, so God said, I will cut them off from my mouth! Wow! Isn’t this exactly what we are seeing in this late hour? There comes a time when the Lord has had enough and cuts them off! And judgment falls upon those who don’t want the truth.” Karen Cochran

Abiding
Jesus Conquered Sin, Satan, and Death by Dying [podcast]

“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; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:14-15
Through death Jesus conquered sin, death, and Satan and made His people free, washing away their sins in His precious blood and putting His Holy Spirit in them, empowering them to live fruit-filled victorious lives to His eternal glory!
Christ’s resurrection guarantees our resurrection – both now and for eternnity. Those raised up with Christ now are those who are crucified with Him. This is His holy “remnant.” (Isaiah 37:31; Romans 8:11; 1 Corinthians 15, etc.).
Jesus conquered sin and death (separation) by dying on His cross. Because of this, we need never live outside of an abiding relationship with Christ. His grace is sufficient to provide everything He died to purchase for us – and all these blessings are appropriated via our faith, our abiding in Him (John 15; Romans 6:14; 2 Corinthians 12:9-10; Hebrews 4:14-16; 7:24-26, etc.).
In order to be raised up, to walk in His resurrection power and grace, we must first be dead and buried with Christ.
“For he that is dead is freed from sin.” Romans 6:7
***ALL Heaven’s going to break out when this hits you in the heart, when your heart perceives this cross economy divine revelation.
Finishing Strong mean Finishing Crucified and Resurrected
HOW will you finish? It’s really how you finish that matters most! (2 Timothy 4:7-8) Finish strong beloved – lay down your life, death and burial, so that the strength of your life is Christ’s resurrection grace! (See 2 Corinthians 12:9-10) Go down deep.
“And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:” Isaiah 37:31
Read the verse above again, looking for the death, the burial, and raising up!
The context Isaiah 37:31 concerns Assyria seeking to seize Judah and yet out of that evil attempt to conquer God’s people came a “remnant.” Yet it’s those who submitted to the LORD in death, those who took root downward (death and burial) who were reciprocally raised up out of that snare and destruction. Resurrection grace wins every time, with no exception! The cross is the divine prescription for absolute victory in every situation.
God counteracts death by the promise of resurrection – now and in eternity! (1 Corinthians 15; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12).
“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12
The depth you allow God to bury you determines the height of His resurrection, His raising up in your life! (See 2 Corinthians 4:10-12)
“Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge. 18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. 19 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. 20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, 21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?” Proverbs 22:17-21
“Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.” 1 Peter 4:1-2
“And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.” 1 John 3:5-6
“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
