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.

“But God, who is Rich in Mercy” [podcast]


Ephesians 2:1-10

“1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2  Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3  Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5  Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6  And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7  That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9  Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

Dancing on Hell’s Grave: Why We Need not Fear Death: Resurrection Joy – Fearless in Death [podcast]


Resurrection Joy – Fearless in Death

– Dancing on Hell’s Grave

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

Dancing on Fear’s Grave!

“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” 1 Corinthians 15:55

Those who are ready to die and be with Jesus do not fear death (1 John 4:16-18).

Eternal perspective. Hope for eternal rest, glory with Christ and the Father.

In Christ, when we close our eyes in death, we awake to the resurrection bliss of eternal joy with Him who is “the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25).

“For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.” 1 Corinthians 15:16-21 

We are fully confident that the moment we pass, we breathe our last, we shall “be present with the Lord.”

“Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 5:6-8

The death of a Christian is not a tragedy.

Death is our passport to glory.

Death without Jesus Christ is the tragedy.

What have we to fear other than the long wait till we meet Him?!

“I think it’s sad to see so many who claim to be Christians

acting all worried about dying… I get excited more each day

about getting to be with the Lord.

The good ole days are just ahead!

Happy New Years!” Kirk

 

“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Philippians 1:21

For the one who is truly in Christ, “to die is gain.”

“For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.” Hebrews 13:14

Jesus Christ is “the resurrection and the life” and will soon raise up into eternal glory all who truly know Him.

“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” John 11:25

Jesus Christ is the “Exceeding Great Reward” of every true believer (Genesis 15:1). They seek nothing more than Him! He is truly their “first love” and all consuming passion (Revelation 2:4-5). He’s coming back soon and He promised that He’s going to reward every man according to his work which is the reflection of of what’s in a man’s heart.

“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Revelation 22:12

Because Jesus rose again, all who are born again in Him are raised up spiritually in this life to overcome all sin, satan, and the world and will be soon raised up into eternal glory with Him.

“And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.” Romans 1:4

“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?”

Where O Where is it! Now, say these blessed, divinely-inspired words of our LORD Jesus Christ aloud prayerfully –“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” (1 Corinthians 15:55)

GOT FEAR? – “I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” (Psalms 34:4) So, what is the divine prescription for being delivered from all fear? Read the verse again and you will notice that seeking the face of the LORD is your deliverance.

Seeking the LORD is always the answer. Getting delivered from “ALL” fear:

“I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” Psalms 34:4

Notice here that one must seek the LORD for deliverance from fear.

Why do we fear?

“People fear because their faith is in self, not in God. Therefore they try and meet their own needs. Matt. 6:33 says when we make God’s kingdom and His righteousness a priority He will meet our needs.” Karen Cochran

All fear shall be dispelled as the regenerated disciple diligently seeks the LORD – the only One who “is love.”

“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

When someone close to us passes on to the next life, dies, we need not fear, namely if they were known of God (Isaiah 57:1-2).

Jesus Again Foretells Death, Resurrection

Remember how Jesus’ disciples were “exceeding sorry” when He foretold of His own death, burial, and resurrection?

“And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: 23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.” Matthew 17:22-23 

Of this passage, Shadrack Rotich notes: They were saddened and forgot to be encouraged by the Word of Jesus that in 3 days He was raising again.”

Because our LORD Jesus was raised from the dead, so we have full hope and confidence that so shall all who are known of Him. We need not therefore fear or sorrow.

“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken (raise up, make alive) your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” Romans 8:11

“The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. 2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.” Isaiah 57:1-2

Pray this: Father thank You so very much for sending Your only begotten Son for me! Thank You that the Son of God died and You raised Him again to justify me and that Your resurrection life and power indwells me today as I abide identified with and in the death and burial of Jesus! Glory to God Most High! Thank You LORD Jesus for Your resurrection power to victoriously overcome all sin, Satan, and this sinful world and to be fruitful in helping others know You. I now look for Your soon return LORD Jesus. Amen Jesus!

Young’s Literal Translation YLT Exposed

by Will Kinney

Anyone who tries to pawn off Young’s “literal” translation as being the infallible words of God simply does not know what he is talking about. It is not even a good translation. It is little more than a passing footnote in the ever changing panorama of perverted bible versions that have come and gone over the years.

There is only one Bible that has stood the test of time and its critics. There is only one Bible that is believed and defended by thousands of Bible believers today as being the true “book of the LORD”- the Authorized King James Holy Bible – celebrating over 400 years of being THE Bible of the English speaking people.

Let’s compare a bit:

One that made me laugh out loud when I first saw it was 1 Kings 18:21.

Here we read in the KJB: “And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long HALT YE BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.”

But Youngs “literal” has: “and Elijah cometh nigh unto all the people, and saith, `TILL WHEN ARE YE LEAPING ON THE TWO BRANCHES? — if Jehovah [is] God, go after Him; and if Baal, go after him;’ and the people have not answered him a word.”

—————

Here is the YLT telling us Jesus had to be saved which would mean He was a sinner:

Zechariah 9:9 KJB – “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, AND HAVING SALVATION; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.”

Youngs – “Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo, thy King doth come to thee, Righteous — AND SAVED IS HE, Afflicted — and riding on an ass, And on a colt — a son of she-asses.”

—————

Acts 11:26 KJB – “And the disciples WERE CALLED Christians first in Antioch.”

Young’s 1898 – “the disciples also WERE DIVINELY CALLED first in Antioch Christians.”

The KJB and almost every other Bible reads: “And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples WERE CALLED Christians first in Antioch.

—————

Youngs’ “literal” has many examples of mind-boggling, ridiculous readings as well.

In Psalms 141:7 we read: “Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when ONE CUTTETH AND CLEAVETH WOOD upon the earth.

But in Youngs we see: Psalm 141:7 “As ONE TILLING AND RIPPING UP THE LAND, Have our bones been scattered AT THE COMMAND OF SAUL.” (Say What?)

—————

1 Samuel 25:22 “So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that PISSETH AGAINST THE WALL.” (Green – “urinates against the wall.”)

But Young has: “thus doth God do to the enemies of David, and thus He doth add, if I leave of all that he hath till the light of the morning — of THOSE SITTING ON THE WALL.”
