TRUTH vs LIES
Which are you Walking in?

Have you noticed how a lot of the memes circulating about women begin with “A strong woman … blah, blah, blah”?

Is that biblical? No! Beware of Satan, lurking, insidiously deceiving like the snake in the Garden, seeking to get his lies, his poisons into your mind. Anytime you see a meme that begins with “A strong woman”, you’d do best to pass over it, give it no attention.

A “strong woman” is a lost woman, a lost soul. That’s the world, not the kingdom of Christ, and yet many Christian women are pushing, circulating this evil line of lies (John 8:44; 2 Corinthians 2:11; 1 Peter 5:8).

A “strong woman” is a woman outside of Christ, attempting to be strong in herself. Feeble. A born again woman has her life laid down and the power that works in her is the divine power of the Almighty, the LORD Jesus Christ who was raised from the dead after He was crucified and buried for our sins! (Romans 8:11)

The woman of the world is a woman limited to her own finite, puny self-will. The woman of God is a woman of the cross whose life is raised up by the power of Christ! (2 Corinthians 4:10-12)

“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

The God-fearing woman lives by Holy Scripture, not by worldly sayings, humanistic platitudes, or worldly philosophy and rudiments.

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments (thinking, sayings) of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” Colossians 2:8-10

There’s nothing so beautiful as the woman who is in the middle of God’s will as a wife, mother, and helper to those around her (Proverbs 31).

Before you even read those memes or anything about what God-less people believe woman are to be, read everything the LORD says in His Word about women, why HE created them, and what HIS will, purpose, and design is for women. Otherwise, you will be deceived.

“And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” Ephesians 4:23-24

The Bible speaks of the Virtuous woman, not a strong woman (Proverbs 31). Her strength is in her submission to the Almighty. The virtuous, the godly woman has repented and laid down her life in this world, is born again, and fully, wholly dependent upon God her Maker and not her own strength (Proverbs 3:5-7). See the difference? As a disciple of Jesus, it’s only when we are weak that He becomes the strength in us, right? (2 Corinthians 12:9-10) It’s only when we are doornail dead and buried that Jesus raises us upward for HIS glory (2 Corinthians 4:10-12). Beware sisters!

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

The God-fearing woman is strong in the LORD, not self. She’s not self-willed but Savior-willed. She’s denounced her own agenda and so is not self-powered but rather Savior-powered, full of His divine grace! The virtuous woman is a woman of the cross!

The woman who fears the LORD, obeys Him and is too busy about being a wife, mother, and teaching younger women than to be deluded by the worldly poisons of jezebel.

PROVERBS 31

The Words of King Lemuel

1  The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him. 
2  What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows? 
3  Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. 
4  It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: 
5  Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. 
6  Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. 
7  Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more. 
8  Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. 
9  Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. 
The Woman Who Fears the Lord
10  Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. 
11  The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. 
12  She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. 
13  She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. 
14  She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar. 
15  She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. 
16  She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. 
17  She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. 
18  She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. 
19  She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. 
20  She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. 
21  She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. 
22  She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. 
23  Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. 
24  She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. 
25  Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. 
26  She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. 
27  She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. 
28  Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. 
29  Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. 
30  Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. 
31  Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Overcoming that Old Serpent, Called the Devil, and Satan [podcast]



“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:9

“That old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world” never left the garden of God’s creation and he won’t till Jesus slam dunks him into the bottomless pit (Genesis 3; Revelation 12; 20). He must be overcome “by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” (Revelation 12:11). God is able. Satan 

“He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.” Ecclesiastes 10:8

“From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:1-7

In the scope of past, present, and future history – HIS-story – nothing is over till Jesus wins!

“For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. … 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:25-26, 57

The Cross

Personally I was not blessed to begin seeing our LORD’s victory in my personal life until Jesus’ cross message began to seep into my heart, thoughts and mind.

The record of Holy Scripture assures us that our LORD Jesus conquered sin, death, hell, and Satan (1 John 3:8). But how? He overcome by the cross.

Jesus conquered sin and death by dying.

“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;” Hebrews 2:14

If this is the first time you are hearing this truth, don’t be ashamed. It’s new to all of us due to the original Gospel message of the cross has been lost among most who claim Christ. | The Cross 

Camping out on the message of the cross will assure you are quickened to “seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.” (1 Chronicles 16:11) Keeping thine eyes and heart upon His cross message will hasten you to Him, to His cross, to the death of self that Christ might raise you upward in His holy power and glory.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn (grain, seed) of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25  He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26  If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.” John 12:24-26

PRAYER: Father, please grant me eye salve to see Your holy truth and the many wolves that now are disguised in sheep’s clothing and leading many to hell. Help me, Jesus! Knowing my utter poverty of spirit, I this moment turn afresh to You fully, asking You to have mercy on me and wash away all my sins. Grant the eyes of my heart discernment as only You can, as I walk closely with You. I choose this day to deny my own self-will and desires and ask You to consume me with Your wisdom, power, and grace. LORD Jesus, please bless me to know You intimately. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Exhort One Another Daily [podcast]


“But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3:13

“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 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 10:22-25

Saints, let’s always remember that other disciples have the SAME exact iniquitous flesh to deal with daily as we do (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3, etc.). They are just like us – absolutely wicked and depraved without the present working of the saving grace of our God at work in us! (Romans 7) Each of Christ’s followers are like us, working out their own salvation with fear and trembling as the LORD works in them both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Philippians 2:12-13).

“We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.” Romans 15:1

“Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:1-2

Let’s lift up our LORD’s disciples instead of wrongly judging them in our attitudes, etc. Seeing and treating them with God’s love is important ( 1 Peter 4:7-8; 1 John 4:7-8, 16-18; 5:1, etc.).

“And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.” Zechariah 7:10

“Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.” Romans 14:19

“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11

DOES the Bible tell us to “Go make disciples” OR to “Teach others God’s Word”? Interesting. Does the Bible Ever Say “Go Make Disciples”?

Apostasy

“Shall I not visit for these things?” [podcast]


Widespread Corruption – Evidence of God’s Judgment on a Nation

IMPORTANT: Read Matthew 24 and Luke 21 this week. Jesus foretold this would all be happening right before He returns! Jesus is coming. Get ready.

A cursory introduction to Jeremiah 5-7. God’s people were in rebellion to Him and reaping what they’d been sowing (Galatians 6:7-8). Read, pour prayerfully over these chapters this week beloved. This message is designed to launch the God fearing saint to pour over this passage as they examine their hearts, their lives before Him honestly.

“Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you. 26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. 27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. 28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. 29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; 31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?” Jeremiah 5:25-31

Judgment on America for the Rebellion of those who Falsely Claim to be Saved

“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?” Revelation 6:9-10

The LORD blesses those who are with Him. Anyone who forsakes Him will be forsaken by Him.

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

The word “if” in God’s Word denotes a choice that will be made.

The LORD is not with you if you are not with Him – doing life on HIS stated terms. That’s exactly why He gave you His recorded Word in tangible form. Read John 14-16.

Notice “IF ye seek him” and not if you go to church or just claim to be His. Are you seeking His holy face “continually”?

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

“Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.” Joel 2:12-13

“O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. 2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.” Hosea 14:1-2

Notice here in the verse below how setting, allowing wicked things into our eye gates leads to turning aside, departing from Christ, backsliding. Notice how the psalmist views backsliding as a plague. And it sure is. Millions irrevocably occupy the bowels of eternal damnation right this moment and forever who made one bad decision which led to their backsliding. It’s time to read God as if our eternal souls depended on it – because they do. safeguardyoursoul.com

“I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.” Psalms 101:3

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, please break me, make me to be poor in spirit and pure in heart. In Jesus’ name, amen.
