The Sovereignty of God as Defined by Calvinism vs Scripture [podcast]
Of the “sovereignty” claim of calvinism, Ken Rieske writes:
“Calvin’s Sovereignty Doctrine Distorts the Attributes of God
Calvinists are proud to proclaim, “The basic principle of Calvinism is the sovereignty of God.” This doctrine allowed John Calvin to misinterpret Scripture in any manner he desired in order to fit his Institutes theology. He simply claimed the sovereignty of God allowed it. God’s other attributes such as love, justice, mercy and grace became irrelevant so long as sovereignty reigned. John Calvin’s extreme definitions of sovereignty and sin (Total Depravity or Total Inability) laid the foundation for a religion that bears his name, Calvinism.
John Calvin falsely taught that God “elects” some people from eternity past to be saved while damning all of the others to eternal hell with no hope of being saved. This false doctrine is directly opposite to the Bible which teaches that God is “not willing that any should perish.” If salvation were entirely dependent on the sovereign God as taught by John Calvin then certainly none would perish, but salvation is dependent upon the free will of people to believe the true gospel by faith.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning [His] promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Certainly God is sovereign. However, John Calvin used sovereignty as an excuse to formulate doctrines which violated God’s other attributes. Calvin’s doctrines of Unconditional Election and Limited Atonement predestine much of humanity to eternal torment in violation of God’s attributes of love, justice, mercy and grace. Doctrines which are correctly interpreted from Scripture will not violate any of God’s attributes.
Certainly God is sovereign according to the definition of sovereign in a dictionary. God is Number One — the Most High, but God does not control every event and action of mankind as if people were puppets, as claimed by John Calvin. The Scripture verses below clearly show that the unbelief of the Children of Israel in the wilderness “limited the Holy One of Israel.” According to the false doctrine of John Calvin, God cannot be limited. Scripture says He can be limited. God could not secure the entry of the Children of Israel into the promised land as He desired because they would not move forward. So God left them in the wilderness for 40 years because of their unbelief, arrogance and rebellion.” Ken Rieske
Speaking of the un-elect, one disciple notes:
“I HATE this false teaching! What would God be ‘longsuffering’ for if people were created for demise.” Antonio O’Neal
Does the sovereignty of God exclude man from being in a relationship with the LORD, of making a choice for Him – to love and serve Him? Does the LORD not desire to love and BE loved? We all do and where do we think that desire comes from?
So Jesus says “He that is not with me is against me” and yet calvinists claim He gave them no option, no ability to choose? (Matthew 12:30)
Christ taught that “No man can serve two masters” and yet man has no choice in whom he will serve? (Matthew 6:24) Nonsense.
God is absolutely sovereign and yet, calvinism goes to far to say that God hi-jacks, controls, and forces the free will He gave to mankind. Calvinism is a cancerous system of heresy. Beware.
“Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt (in the world, before being saved); and serve ye the LORD. 15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:14-15
The calvinist is taught that God doesn’t require that they participate in the relationship they claim to have with Him. And that’s what they like because if they have no will, no say-so or personal responsibility in the matter, they cannot be held personally responsible and can do as they please and still be His, so they vainly believe.
Most calvinists are not honestly seeking to apprehend and embrace the truth, they’re looking to justify a system crafted by men and devils which actually, blatantly contradicts what’s in black and white in the Bible, God’s Word. This is all done to justify their LUKEWARM LIVES of sin which they refuse to repent of. They will do anything except repent and be held to personal accountability before the LORD. “DEPART FROM ME” AWAITS (MATTHEW 25:41, 46).
The calvinist is willingly indoctrinated and intentionally, deceitfully selective in the way he interprets Scripture.
Heretics act as if they can skip over and ignore volumes of Bible verses that contradict OSAS and Calvinism and not have to give account to God in the end. Delusional (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).
In the diabolical delusionment of calvinism, God doesn’t require or want your personal participation. To conclude such would be to ignore and dismiss the hundreds of commands from God to man. No honest Bible reader comes away with this idea that God does it all in the relationship without the consent or participation of the person He’s in a relationship with. Only a calvinist could believe something like that. This is the danger of a system. When people are seduced and sold on the system (calvinism, dispensationism, etc), they are indoctrinated into seeing everything through that man-made demon concocted system lens. Once someone is deceived, indoctrinated by calvinism, everything then revolves around the tenets of the system (TULIP) and so they then ignore Holy Scripture that contradicts it – which means they are “NOT of God” according to Jesus (John 8:47). Without exception, every child of God holds God’s written Word and every word of it, as the highest divine authority (Psalms 119; Mark 13:31; Romans 3:4; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.). In contrast, like the hell bound pharisees of Christ’s day, calvinists sacrifice divine truth to keep their own tradition (Mark 7:6-10).
Calvinists have made a complete mockery of God, polarizing their willingly deceived prey into demonizing the rendering of obedience to the LORD Himself, to the commands of God (Jude 4).
Backslidden counterfeits are willingly deceived moral cowards, “enemies of the cross of Christ”, who want nothing to do with anything that involves giving up their lives in this fleeting world and so they hide behind the prophesied grace-perverting false doctrines of eternal security and Calvinism (Philippians 3:18-19; Jude 4).
Calvinists somehow believe they have permission to ignore Bible verses, divine truths that contradict their delusional heresies.
“Heretics are trained by other heretics because they want to be like their training ‘guru”‘ false teacher. I truly believe it is their egos that drive them to wrongly divide the ‘Word of Truth.’ They take the responsibility off themselves and place it on God in false (but trendy) reformed religion (Calvinism).” Ken Hall
Calvinism is for moral cowards who refuse to face God honestly in repentance, lay down their lives in this fleeting world, and follow Jesus for real (Luke 9:23-24; 14:33; 17:33, etc.). So, they hide behind the grace-perverting, sin-justifying heretical system of calvinism which came through a murderer who got it from a catholic named Augustine. Jude forewarned of this very thing (Jude 4).
The cults of calvinism and catholicism are kissing cousins. If you don’t believe that, read this: Calvinism Cursed Roots | Calvinism Exposed
We must go back further than the “reformation.” Nothing needed to be RE-formed…. because we have a Bible which is the final divine authority (Mark 13:31; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.). Many of the “reformers” were absolute heretics such as the demon possessed murderous maniac, John Calvin.
One writer notes: “The Calvinists act like these devils (their idolized reformers like Calvin) invented the Bible itself when they were born 1500 to 1600 years later. These rats were the worst people like Calvin, John Knox, Luther and another rat named Huldrych Zwingli who murdered the real reformers—like the Anabaptists and other sects—by the tens of thousands and were evil satanic tyrants. They raped and tortured their way to power. If you do not believe me look up the persecution and murder of the Anabaptists, along with reformation leaders who tortured and killed dissidents with the numbers into the hundreds of thousands. Look it up because the great truth is these snakes were so evil and arrogant with their fake self-righteous holiness that they wrote it all down for all to read. Evil people. Even today people will tell me they purely made up the story of Jew-hater Luther and the ink well. All made up 100 years later and the original story was of a fight between him and a monk over a prostitute. Just saying there are tons of myths from the so-called Church fathers. Some of them where wicked and insane. Don’t believe me, look it up. But don’t go to the reformed historians because they lie though their teeth. Even Catholic historians tell more truth about the horrors of the burning times. Go to secular sources who tell it like it was. Years ago, when I used to preach on this topic, I got more death threats from reformers than Muslims because they serve their fake reformed gods above Bible truth.”

How to Get the Devil Out of Your Life [podcast]

Devil on Your Back?
Anybody remember that song “Shut thee door keep out the devil.” (thee is the sound not the).
It’s all over for the devil once you learn and apply the cross – the Bible concept of dying and letting Jesus reign in your life! Boom.
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
I’m sorry, what?! Read James 4:7 again!
Okay, so let me get this straight …. If I submit myself to God afresh, repent, return to Him with a whole heart, then I can “Resist the devil, and he will flee from” me? Isn’t that what you just read for yourself in James 4:7? Yes it is!
James 4:7 – Greatest spiritual warfare Scripture in the Bible right there!
You can pray till you’re blue in the face and Satan is going no where – till you repent.
You can entertain and titillate your mind all day long with surface level nuggets and ramblings and yet nothing explosive is going to occur, nothing powerful is going to happen in your life until you die the death – until you put your foot down, smashing Satan’s head, and declare that Jesus Christ alone reigns in your life from that moment forward!
When sin is vanquished from your life, Satan is vanquished – he no longer has any legal right, claim to you! He is shut out! Satan failed at tempting Jesus because Jesus refused to enter into the temptations the Devil laid before Him. Jesus was in a season of fasting and prayer. This is key for us as it’s what He commanded for us (Matthew 6:16).
“When ye fast … Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 6:16; 26:41
Recently was able to share with a man who was seeking victory over his sins. The instruction was that there is nothing, no sin he can’t fast out of his life – as he draws near to God in repentance, God will draw near to Him and make him free (James 4:8). See Isaiah 58. | Fasting and Prayer
It’s G.O.D. time = Game Over Devil!
On a regular basis and a whole lot lately, people come, call for prayer. The first order of business is to get the sin dealt with in their lives, then the devil is forced out – he then has no legal right to them and must flee.
IF you are not enduring sound doctrine – holding yourself accountable to divine truth – you are Hell bound. If your life is all about YOU instead of JESUS – you will dodge, twist, and manipulate Scripture to fit your own sinful whims, and vainly believe that God doesn’t see all your dissimulation.
“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.” 2 Timothy 4:2-4
If your pastor is not preaching the pure Word of God and watching for your eternal soul, you are completely deceived and being led to eternal damnation (Hebrews 13:7, 17). This would account for more than 90% of the fake “Christian” leaders operating today.
“For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” Isaiah 9:16
For explosive revelation of false prophets, read Jeremiah 23, Ezekiel 34, Matthew 23, and 2 Peter 2.
Now, today is your day to truly come before the throne of His grace while you can – before it’s too late. Nothing less than real, authentic repentance which produces a changed life will be in Heaven.
YOUR PRAYER: Jesus I am done with the Devil! I am sick and tired of living in sin and being battered by Your archenemy. Most of all, I want to love You supremely. I want to know You. Father, I come to You with an open, honest heart and ask You to forgive all my sins, to wash me clean in Thy precious blood dear LORD Jesus. Into Your holy hands I now submit my spirit, soul, and body. Make me whole LORD, as You alone can do. Please fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me in this last hour as we look for Your soon return. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Abiding
“Be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord” [podcast]

“Be Not Moved Away”
“If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;” Colossians 1:23
The victory is in Jesus Christ, and we are “stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 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 15:57-58
Remaining before the LORD, seeking His holy face “continually” is essential to abiding in Christ (1 Chronicles 16:11; John 15:1-16; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:16).
“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Romans 8:6
Being “stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the LORD,” has never been more essential than it is in this last hour before our LORD’s return.
Jesus is coming.
The Devil’s Diversions
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11
Satan has laid traps for each of us, snares of politics, non-essential doctrines, heresies, and fascinations of all kinds (2 Corinthians 2:11; Colossians 2:8-10; 1 Peter 5:8). Beware. His mission is to derail Christ’s saints from abiding oneness, fruitfulness – the fruit, more fruit, much fruit Christ has ordained us to walk in. Read John 15:1-16.
These things are of this fallen world and used by “the god of this world” himself, Satan (2 Corinthians 4:4).
“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
Why are there Christians who fall away from the work of Christ? – It’s because they ceased, fell away from the worship of Christ. Ceasing to participate in the work of Christ is the result of ceasing to worship Christ truly – becoming worldly or all about the fleeting cares and trinkets of this world.
“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
“JESUS was met with hatred, and if you follow HIM you will be also. Hate mongers didn’t stop HIM, and shouldn’t stop us either.” Nelline Richard
Dear friend, be reminded that you will stand before the Almighty to give full account for your life in His earth that He gave you to steward for His eternal glory.
“We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.” Romans 14:10
Satan, the “god of this world”
As “the prince of the power of the air,” the evil one controls the airwaves and uses the noise to distract you, to confuse, and to anchor you in the temporal, the horizontal. This he does to prohibit/hinder your fellowship with the LORD, the vertical.
Are you living FREE or AFRAID/in FEAR?
“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:16-18
Someone has rightly stated: “Fear is the currency of control.”
“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” Colossians 3:1-4
“Jesus’ twelve disciples didn’t get rich off the gospel, they died for it.” Nelline Richard
Do you see this misconception of dragging a cross around as an issue, an erroneous view of what Christ and Paul spoke of concerning the daily cross and the purpose of it?
Yes exactly, and perhaps that’s what’s missing—the resurrection—from the erroneous view of the cross by the modern church….
Only Jesus bore our sins on that cross (Isaiah 53). Dragging our cross around daily won’t expiate for even one or any one of our sins….. we are debtors to live in the Spirit instead of the flesh
One disciple noted:
“We owe no debt to Christ. This is law—tit for tat thinking. Salvation is a gift. It is not a MasterCard account, but an unconditional gift. We are now to live after the Spirit, not the flesh. Yes, without the aid of the Holy Spirit the cross message is a burden with no good news. Lies. Romans 8:12. We are not debtors to the flesh. We are debtors to no one! We have been given a gift for which no debt was/is incurred.”
Heirs with Christ:
“12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” Romans 8:12-17
A Brother wrote:
“The worldly mind cannot think outside of ‘performance-based,’ tit for tat, earning blessing, merit based meritocracy, mammon based, law based labeling and judgmentalism, eye for eye, love those who love you back but not enemies. This is all a legalistic tree of knowledge of good and evil type mind and is dualism. God is non-dual, single, pure, not double-minded, sincere and the tree of life (love) which has a single-eyed view of life and lives in the way of the cross— unconditional self-sacrificial love.” T
The mind has to be turned upside down by the experience of the cross and resurrection to get this “mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16).
Perhaps this is all about the exchanged life, right?
Clearing the Noise
“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
Only the truth, embracing and obeying it, makes us free from confusion and fear (John 8:31-32, 36).
Is the Cross Meant to be Drudgery or Victory?
The cross makes us free from the chains of religion, false obligation, dead pursuits, and drudgery.
As you well know, there’s a common misconception that is in the mind of most Christians concerning Jesus’ command to deny self, take up the cross and follow Him…. WHAT does that really mean? Does it mean the believer has to drag some burden around every day of his life? Does it mean drudgery, misery, and a heavy weight (Matthew 11:28-30)?
Let’s clear this up, God willing brother. I know you’ve probably taught on this already since you’ve been teaching and learning the cross for a while…… is it correct that……
The cross isn’t a burden. It’s an instrument to crucify you so that you can be liquidated, raised up, and free to be glorifying to, and to be used of God (Galatians 2:40).
The cross is not a burden. It is an instrument of crucifixion so that you are set free to serve God in the resurrection grace of Jesus Christ who is the resurrection and the life.
The cross sets us free, resurrection life in Christ…..”
F.B. Meyer on Colossians 3:1-11
“SEEKING THE ‘THINGS THAT ARE ABOVE’
Let us repeat the glorious truth, which was doubtless the heart of Paul’s teaching, that our old nature has been nailed in Christ to the Cross, and laid in the grave; and that our real self, the second Adam, has entered the new world of resurrection. We belong to the world on the threshold of which Jesus said, ‘Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended.’ We must guard against the defiling touch of the world, of sin, and of the old self-life. We stand between two worlds, each solicits us: let us yield to the influences that pull us upward, and not to those that anchor us to this sinful and vain world. Our eternal blessedness has begun, let us walk in it.
In Christ we profess to have put off the old man, i.e., the habits of our former life, Col_3:9; now let us actually do so, in the power of the Holy Spirit. We profess to have put on the risen Christ, Col_3:10; now let us don the attire and habits of the new man. Too many Christians resemble Lazarus, quickened from his death-sleep, but still arrayed in grave-clothes. Too few array themselves in the radiant beauty of the risen Lord, which is the common heritage of all who believe in Him, whatever their rank or nationality.” F.B. Meyer
“WE (plural) are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9
NOTHING happening on God’s earth today is even remotely important compared to the work of Christ through His saints – to feed His flock and win the lost! That is the Great Commission He mandated to us and holds us accountable to accomplish! He’s with us beloved saints – all the way to the end – supplying every iota of grace and otherwise!
Jesus promised “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20
