“Stop All Sinning”? How?

The Deceitful, Idolatrous Underpinnings of the Stopping all Sinning Focus

Stop all Sinning Idolatry

Did Jesus preach “stop all sinning” to the lost our “repent and believe”? That would be repentance and believing upon Him.

“And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” Mark 1:15  

How can one “stop all sinning” BEFORE being born again which occurs when one repents and believes upon Christ? They can’t.

BEWARE: CHARLES FINNEY’S FALSE TEACHINGS LIVE ON THROUGH MODERN FALSE TEACHERS LIKE MIKE DESARIO, JESSIE MORRELL, KERRIGAN SKELLY, etc.

… Finney denied the sacrifice of Christ … These men have crept in unawares among us and teach that we are saved in part by “natural ability” and not wholly by Christ. They have thereby denied Christ. They even teach that sinners can “Stop Sinning” BEFORE they are saved! In other words, why did Jesus even have to come???? WOW! Galatians 2:21; 3:3 …. The cross of Christ and the daily cross is Christ’s solution for sin and not “natural ability” as Charles Finney and these false teachers teach. Romans 6 and 7 makes that more than obvious.

The ability to conquer all sin is the stated will of God and yet that divine ability (Grace = divine ability) does not enter the saved person until he is first saved. So how can someone “stop all sinning” before being saved by grace? Impossible. And, that is unmitigated idolatry, antichrist – putting self before, in place of Christ who alone is Savior and LORD. Repentance is first and foremost turning TO GOD and not turning from sin. If you get these out of order, you are a heretic.

Jesus told us to “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19) Jesus did not tell His disciples to scale the fish but rather to catch the fish or be used of Him to bring them in.  Scaling is something only He who is Savior and Sanctifier can do – AFTER He brings the fish into the boat.

“Ye shall know them by their FRUIT.” (Matthew 7:16, 20): There system of heresies being taught by the wolves mentioned above does nothing but foster self pride which is luciferic and the antithesis of the Gospel Jesus gave us! (Isaiah 14:12-15)

IF your “Christianity” is not producing the fruit of love and humility, you are a lost soul. Read 1 Corinthians 13 until it gets in you – and causes deep repentance and a laying down of your life!

BEWARE OF THIS CHRIST-DENYING, SOUL-DAMNING SYSTEM OF HERESIES CIRCULATING IN THE CHURCH WORLD TODAY! ASTOUNDINGLY, HERETIC CHARLES FINNEY TAUGHT AND FALSE TEACHERS TODAY LIKE MIKE DESARIO TEACH THAT 1.)SIN DIDN’T CONTAMINATE THE HUMAN RACE WHEN MANKIND FELL, AND THAT 2.)FALLEN MANKIND HAS NO SINFUL BENT/SIN NATURE, 3.) YOU HAVE TO STOP ALL SIN BEFORE JESUS WILL SAVE YOU, AND 4.) THAT WE OVERCOME ALL SIN BY OUR OWN “NATURAL ABILITY” WITHOUT JESUS!

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily (secretly) shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.” 2 Peter 2:1

Charles Finney Exposed

BEWARE OF THE MODERN FINNEY-ITES: SAINTS, THIS IS A PARTICULARLY EVIL STRAND OF HERESY BEING PERPETRATED BY SOME OF THE VILEST WOLVES WHO USE THE INTERNET TO POISON THE MINDS OF MANY. BEWARE. MANY OF THE STREET PREACHERS ARE THESE VERY WOLVES! IF WE OVERCOME SIN WITHOUT CHRIST (IMPOSSIBLE), WHO GETS THE GLORY OTHER THAN SINFUL US!!!!????? BEWARE OF THESE FINNEY-ITE ANTICHRISTS. 

“Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.” Isaiah 65:5

Holy living? YES!

But how?

Beware: While feigning to be holiness preachers, some today are actually promulgating a false gospel, a false emphasis which is moving the hearts of the gullible away from CHRIST, a sinful idolatry we are often warned about (Colossians 2:18-19). Evil, self-righteous men, posing as representatives of Christ, have crept in unawares and they want the credit for their “holiness” which is not “true holiness” but rather a false holiness, a pretentious sham (Ephesians 4:25). Also, they seem to want to beat others over the head (James 1:20) in the delusional pride of their own supposed holiness. Listen to this warning about this very sin which Jesus shows will be happening when He returns at the hands of unfaithful servants who previously knew Him:

“But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens …” Luke 12:45

The premise of self-righteous judgment is condemned:

“For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” James 1:20

One disciples notes:

“The devil is crafty. If you come against the sinning Christian gospel you are a legalist. If you come against the sinless perfection gospel you are a sinning Christian or lukewarm at best. Its a narrow road. The devil has traps laid at every turn. People need to be more vigilant.”

TO COMBAT THE RAMPANT EXCUSE-MAKING SEGMENT OF PROFESSING CHRISTENDOM THAT SAYS IT’S OKAY TO SIN AFTER BEING SAVED, THESE DEVILS HAVE CREATED ANOTHER HERETICAL SYSTEM OF LIES. INSTEAD OF SIMPLY SEARCHING OUT AND APPLYING THE BIBLICAL PRESCRIPTION FOR SIN, THEY TAKE TO THE FLESH TO COMBAT ONE HERESY AND NOW HAVE CREATED A WHOLE DIFFERENT SYSTEM OF DIABOLICAL ERROR.

BEWARE of anyone who preaches holiness and yet not the daily cross! The cross is the only divine prescription for holiness!

The very people who push the “stop all sinning now and then God will save you” heresy never preach the cross, the crucified life – without which no man can stop sinning, no man can overcome all sin.

“He that is dead (dead, buried, crucified with Christ) is freed from sin.” Romans 6:7

Read Romans 6 daily.

It’s only in obeying the LORD “from the heart that form of doctrine” – the doctrine of the crucified life – that one can be delivered from being a servant of sin.

“But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.” Romans 6:17

Let no one fool you saints: Sin is overcome by the daily cross and yet most who preach holiness NEVER even mention this paramount biblical truth. The Essential Daily Cross

If stopping all sinning is your focus instead of Christ, you will never stop all sinning. In fact, you are currently, by this false balance/emphasis, committing the sin of idolatry. … All sinning will cease when we obey His command to be “crucified with Christ” and thereby His holy, enabling grace fills our hearts through true worship “in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:23-24) All other forms of “holiness” are utter falsity and will not enter His eternal kingdom.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

WHO has Bewitched You?

“But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16

The biblical prescription for “true holiness,” (Ephesians 4:25) as opposed to a false holiness, is to know and abide in Jesus Christ (John 15). Only Christ can make us holy and without spot or blemish as we truly abide in Him in a faith-filled, obedient, and worship-filled relationship.

“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6

God is able to establish our hearts in His grace and to multiply His grace to us (Hebrews 13:9; 2 Peter 3:18).

Who has put you under this spell of witchcraft, that you would think that you could please God, to earn His merit, by way of your own flesh?

“O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” Galatians 3:1-3

Authentic, divine holiness comes at surrender, not by striving.

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;” Philippians 3:10

The sinning these street preaching, self-righteous idolaters need to repent of is preaching a false gospel – one that does not uphold Jesus Christ as the supreme and glorious Savior and LORD but rather has redirected the focus of many to the futile, pretentious act of trying to “stop all sinning” all by oneself.

—- OUR first and foremost goal, as Christ’s true disciples, is to LOVE, WORSHIP, to SEEK, and KNOW our LORD …. and not to “stop all sinning!” One comes before the other in the divine economy and so beware of those who pervert the order of the LORD’s Word which inevitably germinates and creates idolatry of the heart and actually misdirects all the focus on us. Such a false focus as to “stop all sinning” sounds good on the outside and yet is self-serving and originates from a soul-damning, SELF-righteous heart!

“Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” Galatians 3:3

Confess all sin yes! And, receive divine mercy for forgiveness and grace to overcome!

THE TESTIMONY OF SCRIPTURE LEADS US TO A LIFE OF CONFESSING ALL SIN – THAT’S FOR CERTAIN (1 JOHN 1:6-2:2, ETC.).

To underscore exactly why you will never meet or see the countenance of a “stop all sinning” idolater with the slightest joy, here’s a telling testimony from a former -“stop all sinning” idolater:

“Todd, I have to agree with you on this, even though I still believe there are some good biblical messages preached by Charles Finney. He wasn’t off on everything. I am glad you are sounding the alarm. Lately I have been thinking a lot about this whole subject. Charles Finney’s interpretation on the atonement does not bring peace to my soul but only causes confusion and produces joyless religion. And I know I will be misunderstood here by some. Even though I followed the message of “stop sinning”, and did not turn back to sin again, I felt completely depressed. And I know some will say, that proves that I didn’t really turn away or had godly sorrow that will produce that salvation in me, but that is not the case. JESUS is to be found! Shouldn’t he be the Object of our faith and not “stop sinning”? He is the One that my soul seeks. Who else can give peace and power but Him? I say this: If any person turns away from ALL sin with all his might, his being and power, with all the faith that he could possibly acquire, and continues to walk in that victory for years without stumbling once, yet will he not have true peace and biblical assurance because Jesus is not the focus. That person has come in another way. He is a thief. He never entered through Jesus. John Wesley said, when speaking about man’s condition and sin, that he who believes not that man is born spiritually dead and blind, is but still a heathen himself. God bless you. Thank you for standing up for the truth. It helped me to take the first step as well.” Lourens

Charles Finney was a false teacher. See links at bottom of this post.

All sinning will cease when His holy, enabling grace fills our hearts through true worship “in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:23-24) All other forms of “holiness” are utter falsity and will not enter His eternal kingdom.

“If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.” Job 9:20

“Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?” Proverbs 20:9

The message of Jesus, John the Baptist, the apostles, and Peter in Acts etc was “Repent” and not “stop sinning.” That only comes AFTER a lost person repents and is born again.

Repentance is needed. It’s an imperative (Luke 13:3, 5). True repentance is first and foremost turning TO God and not just turning from sin. Many false converts who are sorry for their sins seek to turn from them but yet they never truly turn in their hearts to Christ and truly believe upon Him to everlasting life (Luke 8:12-15). And, perhaps the preaching of “stop all sinning,” which does not focus on CHRIST, leads people into a false repentance.

“And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Acts 16:30-31

Have we greatly overcomplicated the original Gospel message?

Perhaps we should consider ceasing to tell everyone else to repent and consider doing so ourselves and begin with our own sin of being misled by a false gospel and preaching that false emphasis to others (Job 19:28). Listen to Jesus’ apostle who counted all else “but dung” to know Jesus: “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;” (Philippians 3:6-10)

Note the essential cross in this vital passage … something completely disregarded and removed from the Gospel message by the devils who preach “Stop all sinning” – That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;” It’s only by that daily cross Jesus mandated us to take up that sin is conquered in the resurrection power of Christ and not by the self-effort of forgetting God and straining to supposedly overcome all sin while we commit the sin of self-idolatry.

If you think I am justifying any sin at all, you are absolutely dead wrong and perhaps unrepentant and unteachable and so covering those sins by attacking the mere human messenger here.

“Be ye holy as I am holy” says the LORD and yet He didn’t leave us to ourselves to make holiness happen (1 Peter 1:15-16; Hebrews 12:14, etc.). Holiness can only come from Him, in a truly abiding relationship, which will always produce His “true holiness” as opposed to feigned, false, pharisee holiness (John 15). There’s an eternity of difference between the true holiness that only the LORD can produce in us as we truly love and worship and obey Him, and a counterfeit holiness which seeks the praises of mere sinful men. Listen to the LORD who is speaking to the false holiness preachers of today:

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel (pervert divine priorities). 25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup (to be seen of men) and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.” Matthew 23:23-25

God sees our sins and so perhaps we could be willing to be authentic, honest, and cease the parade of falsity. The psalmist cried:

“O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.” Psalms 69:5

Further examining the order of things ….

Did the repentant, forgiven thief on the cross cry to Jesus “LORD, I’m going to try to stop all sinning” or did he simply say “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.” … “And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” (Luke 22:42-43)

God is no fool. Christ came for a reason and that is due to our own helpless state outside of His divine intervention. All sin is conquered by and through Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own precious blood (Revelation 1:5). His grace, in an abiding relationship with Christ, grants the compete victory over all sin and yet He also made provision for the believer if that person were to falter (1 John 1:3-2:2; Romans 6:14; Titus 2:11-14, etc.).

Mankind is fallen and Christ alone is our Solution!

Total Depravity, as defined by Calvinism, says that fallen man is so depraved that he cannot even make a choice. Nonsense. Yet, mankind is fallen and the effects of sin should be obvious in Scripture and personal experience.

“And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Genesis 6:5

“And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.” Genesis 6:12

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

Christ’s Non-Negotiable Original Gospel Imperative [podcast]


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

It’s one thing to claim we are with Christ and He with us, and it’s another thing to prove we are with the Savior by adhering to His words. Jesus told us that those who are “of God” hear and obey His words (John 8:47).

If one chooses not to love Jesus enough to obey His stated terms, such a man has rejected the Son of God for the love of sinful self and will perish in his own corruption (Matthew 22:37-40; Luke 9:23-24; 14:33; 17:33; John 14:15; 1 John 2:3-6, etc.).

“Repentance is to TAKE SIDES with God against yourself. It is a CHANGE of attitude toward SELF, toward SIN, toward GOD, toward CHRIST that is so REAL that it RESULTS in a changed life. It is raising the WHITE FLAG in SURRENDER to God and turning to Christ as your only LORD and Savior. Repentance is NOT a work … works are the fruit of repentance (Ephesians 2:8-10).” Trent Austin

Only the counterfeit will get upset at this Gospel message because such a rebel wants nothing to do with taking personal responsibility for his sin, the denial of self, the crucified life to be set apart, holy, and having the Savior reign!

Notice how Jesus knits the denial of self, the daily cross, the putting off the deeds of the body, of keeping under the body (the iniquitous fallen nature) with the destiny of the eternal soul.

“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” Luke 9:23-25

Jesus made it clear here that the cross is an original Gospel essential, an absolute imperative to eternal glory with Him!

Each of us proves exactly who we love the most by the way we are living! – God or self!

Everything that is happening in your life now is being allowed by God in order to get you down low into the death and burial with Christ. Read 2 Corinthians 4.

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 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 4:7-12

Apostasy

Jacked Up Jezebel Rebuked [podcast]


“Jezebel is a widely rampant spirit of rebellion that is hard to get rid of, rooted in pride, self-will, and self-sufficiency. Only the LORD can deliver but only if the individual truly repents and submits to Him, to His Word.” Anita Villarreal

Any person defending this jezebel heresy that women can be pastors, elders over men, is under the control of Satan, period. And in need of true repentance (James 4:7).

—-There are NO female apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, or teachers under the New Testament (Ephesians 4:8, 11-12). Jesus gave these “gifts unto MEN.” (Ephesians 4:8) There is not even one woman mentioned in 27 books as an elder over Christ’s flock. Such is clearly forbidden (1 Timothy 2:11-12). In Acts 21:9 we read of Phillip’s daughters which “did prophesy” which is a gift of the Spirit (one of the nine-1 Corinthians 12:7-10). The office gifts are eldership functions for men called to be overseers over Christ’s flock, which is completely different than the gifts of the Spirit which every believer can function in and certainly women are seen doing such as Phillip’s daughters and how women are mentioned concerning operating in the gifts of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 14.

Classic case of a jezebel lashing out when the Word of GOD corrects her (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Her rebellion is against God. Jezebel is utterly rebellious. She hates what God’s Word says and so the demons that control jezebels will lash out in personal attacks against the men who stand on the truth unwaveringly (such as did Elijah whom Jezebel sought to kill).

“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” 1 Timothy 2:11-14

“As I look around America I ask myself who can find a virtuous woman? Whose whole life is surrendered to God. And centered in the fear of the Lord. No woman will submit to their husbands unless they first submit to God. Ephesians 5:22 says women are to submit to their husbands, “as unto the Lord.” That must come first. And what is a great price in the sight of God? A woman who has a meek and quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:4). This is true beauty to God. But Jezebels are the complete opposite. Full of rebellion, pride and hatred! God says throw her down!” Karen Cochran

From the divine perspective, this is not about oppression but rather about protect. See Revelation 2:20-24 to see what Jesus warns when a woman is allowed to lead as an elder in the body of Christ. He uses the words “The depths of Satan” and speaks of the death and destruction that will result when the men allow a woman to lead in a manner that is outside of the stated role God ordained for the woman.

Yes the LORD said He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, sons and daughter, but not to anoint a woman to do something HE forbids. Women are to teach women yes but not the general body of believers (Titus 2:1-5). There are NO female elders in the New Testament. God forbids it. Eldership is reserved for men – to humbly teach, lead and protect and cherish women and children.

“There’s a crazy role reversal across the land and men should always lead. Even our women’s prayer group was led by the pastor because that’s what he believed. Women are more emotional and men more logical. Both have their designated roles . God meant them to compliment each other rather than to compete.” John Umlauf

When people don’t like what God’s Word states, they will attack the mere messenger as if that changes the truth. Not. And, they heap judgment on themselves by doing so (Matthew 7:1-5; James 2:13). Persecution

“For we are not as many, which corrupt (twist, adulterate) the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:17

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

“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13

Jesus Addresses the Ahabs and Self-Appointed Jezebel at the Church at Thyatira

Revelation 2:20-24

Revelation 2:20-24 is about a certain self-appointed woman who was allowed by the spineless men in Thyatira to operate out of the biblically-stated order for women in the church setting.

Rev 2:20  Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 
Rev 2:21  And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 
Rev 2:22  Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 
Rev 2:23  And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. 
Rev 2:24  But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
