The Fear of the LORD is to Hate Evil: Pride, and Arrogancy #shorts [video]

—- “THE WHOLE WORLD Lieth in Wickedness.”1 John 5:19

—- DON’T FEEL SORRY FOR or condemn the brothers and sisters who are being slandered …. NO instead, in light of what God’s Word tells us, you’d better check (“examine”) your own life to see if you are truly in Christ if you are not being personally hated, slandered, and attacked by satan’s many children! (2 Corinthians 13:5) WHAT did Jesus promised in Matthew 10:22 and Matthew 5:10-12? Find out below.

Be not surprised when you are shunned, shut out, lied about, shorted, scorned, and persecuted in other ways. Why? Because “the whole world lieth in wickedness.”

“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” 1 John 5:19

Be aware that many who profess to know Christ are also of the world and that’s why they shun and persecute you. They are of “the spirit of antichrist.” (1 John 2:18; 4:1-3) – —– “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” (Matthew 7:20)

Meditate upon this saint. The LORD just may begin to change your whole perspective on this whole matter which will help you to walk in His peace in this fleeting, adulterous world. In Matthew 12:39 we see Jesus calling this this worlds people, “an evil and adulterous generation.”

Do not expect to be loved by the world. In fact, based on Bible truth, begin to learn to “rejoice” – to wear as a badge of honor – the fact that those not of Christ do not love you and that’s most people (Matthew 7:13-14). Perhaps we should learn to get our love from God’s people whom Jesus repeatedly told to “love one another.” (John 13:34-35, etc.) Study prayerfully the subject of love in Holy Scripture. Love is at the top of priorities in the divine economy.

“Ye are the light of the world” says our LORD (Matthew 5:14, 16). The light of Jesus in you shines into their yet darkened, unregenerate hearts and they react by persecuting you (John 3:19-21).

Jesus told us exactly why the world’s people will not love or honor you. – Jesus said: “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own.”

When those in darkness hate you, that’s the occasion to “rejoice” according to Christ.

The world does not love you – Because you are Christ’s!!!! Now, “Rejoice”!

“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” Matthew 5:10-12

Just what did Jesus tell us in the above passage will happen to us for His “sake”?

“persecuted for righteousness’ sake”
“revile you”
“persecute you”
“say all manner of evil against you falsely”

Beloved, are you learning to obey the Savior by rejoicing when you are attacked by this sinful world’s people who still lie “in wickedness”? (1 John 5:19)

Being a “friend of the world” actually makes us the enemy of God, so we must be discerning and be careful who we take into our close company.

“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.” James 4:4

The root cause of all sinful hatred is rebellion and enmity against our Maker who “is light”and who is the Judge of our eternal souls (Genesis 6:5, 12; Ecclesiastes 7:29; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3, etc.).

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” 1 John 1:5

Don’t take it too personal. The prophets of God under the Old Covenant, John the Baptist, Jesus, Christ’s apostles, and all true disciples of Jesus have been hated by those not of God. Jesus promised us that we would also be “hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” (Matthew 10:22) If we are not being “hated,” we should examine ourselves very prayerfully and with much Bible study to see whether we are in walking in the light of Christ (John 8:12; 1 John 1:7).

The World Loves His Own

Just what does it show you that the world’s people who are in darkness, do not love you? What is proven by such a fact?

Our precious Savior was hated by those He was getting ready to die for (Romans 5:6-8). He laid down His life for men He had no guarantee would turn to Him and receive His salvation offer.

“The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. ” John 7:7

The world first and foremost hates our blessed LORD. We are only hated by the world due to our association and oneness with Christ the only Savior!

“If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.” John 15:19-20

If you are loved by the world, fret. If you are hated by the world, obey Christ and “rejoice.”(Matthew 5:10-12)

“Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.” 1 John 3:13

Cease being surprised by the persecution. Learn to get glad at it, pray for those persecutors, and keep abiding yet more and more intimate with Christ, who was hated unto crucifixion for our sins (Matthew 5:44).

“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.” 1 Peter 4:12-14

“Think it not strange.” – The blessed fact that Christ is in you is underscored and confirmed by the persecution you are receiving! Expect it! “Rejoice!” Fellowship with Christ’s true remnant daily (Acts 2:42-47; Hebrews 3:13; 10:24-25). Cease to limit your interaction with believers to a Sunday morning time frame. Die to that old religious formula, get your own life with Christ, and love His beloved saints! “Daily”! Get in and remain in His presence and Word. Develop a life of prayer. Spread His Word daily.

Now, for those of you called out to serve the LORD whom our LORD has matured and seasoned, take heart.

“Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” 2 Timothy 2:1-4

—- IF YOU are called out of God, you must know that NO WORK or occupation on this earth is within the same universe of importance as the work of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. All else pales at best. Walk in “the fear of the LORD” and His “strong confidence” will fill your heart through the good and difficult times (Proverbs 14:26-27). There is no work as important as that work which our LORD came and began and that He has sent us to carry forth in our generation – in this final generation!

“Woe unto me if I preach not the gospel…” 1 Corinthians 9:16

We must be possessed with this divine revelation as was our beloved brother Paul. You are on a mission from Heaven. You must not cease to communicate the Word of God. You must “endure hardness, as a good solider of Jesus Christ.” (2 Timothy 2:3)

Great and blessed eternal rewards are coming to those who overcome and “endure to the end,” abiding worshipful with Christ (Matthew 24:10-13; John 15:1-6; Revelation 2-3).

Just how much do we authentically love the LORD? Does His will prevail? Is our love for Him growing daily and is it greater that our love for self? Are we losing our lives/reputations in this fleeting world? (John 12:24-26) Those who choose to love the LORD with all of their heart, mind, soul, and strength shall be with Him in that New Jerusalem! Read Revelation 21-22 every day this week.

Pride and False Prophets [podcast]

“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:11

What’s the difference between true and false servants of the LORD?

Jeremiah 23 is essential concerning recognizing the “MANY false prophets” which Jesus foretold would “deceive MANY” in this late hour before His return (Matthew 24:11).

True servants of the LORD stand in the counsel, the WORD of the LORD and not in the evil imaginations, dreams, or visions of their own wicked hearts.

Jeremiah 23
“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
19 Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.”

ARE YOU in God’s Word daily or have you backslidden? It’s either one or the other.

True servants of the LORD, as was the case with Paul and Timothy, will get YOU into God’s Word for yourself…

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2

So both the LORD’s apostle Paul and the apostle Peter instructed believers to get into the Word of God for themselves – to “study” and to “desire” it. Any man pretending to represent Christ and not do this very thing repeatedly is a bona fide wolf in sheep’s clothing, a devil.

Imagine parents who continued to feed their infant and never taught that baby to pick up the spoon and feed themself…. so that child would perpetually be dependent upon someone else feeding them…. in the natural this is unheard of, yet it’s rampant in that which claims to be Christ’s “church.”

Read Jeremiah 23.

“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. ⁷Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. ⁸Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. ⁹Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. ¹⁰Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” James 4:6-10

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1

Pride vs Humility

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18) True humility before God first, then men, always wins – “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” (James 4:10)

Beware of False Prophets [podcast]

This vital message is an excerpt from the book Deceivers and False Prophets Among Us The Divine Guarantee of Counterfeit Leaders and Their Subversion of Truth GOD alone is in control and not the false prognosticator false watchmen! HE’s in control of the timing of all things, not you or any other fraud! … REMEMBER, when that demonic maniac hitler was on the world scene, many thought it was the end! Wrong! Think!

Jezebel's Table [podcast]

The allegiance and loyalty of the false leaders verses the allegiance of true followers and servants of Jesus. Self-serving, cross-less, compromised hireling wolves hiding behind the cloth are nothing new saints: “Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at JEZEBEL’S TABLE“ (1 Kings 18:19). Eating at “Jezebel’s table” as did the false prophets of Elijah’s day, reveals their refusal to truly repent and serve God at whatever the cost. Those who tucked their feet under “Jezebel’s […]

Beware of the "Prophetic" Gurus [podcast]

“For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.” Ezekiel 12:24 Did you catch that? Why will there soon, for eternity, be no more “vain vision nor flattering divination” within God’s house? It’s because all the false prophets will be vanquished into the bowels of eternal “damnation.” (2 Peter 2:1-3) WHEN YOU ARE PERSONALLY, DAILY GROUNDED IN GOD’S WORD, YOU DON’T RUN AROUND LOOKING FOR SOME SELF-APPOINTED FLAKE WITH A SUPPOSED WORD, VISION, OR DREAM! (COLOSSIANS 2:6-10) Those who read God’s Word for themselves are not moved or impressed with the numerous […]

“Come unto Me, all Ye that Labour and are Heavy Laden, and I will Give You Rest” [podcast

God is “Holy, holy, holy” and “God is love.” (Isaiah 6:3; 1 John 4:8, 16; Revelation 4:8)

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:16-18

Jesus came and died to save us “while we were yet sinners.”

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8

The Proof of God’s Love for all Men

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1 John 4:9-10

“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Revelation 22:17

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the“ lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:4-8

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please do Your ever-deepening work in my heart and life. Please imbue my innermost being with your holiness, holy fear, and love. Bless this vessel to be purified, cleansed of all iniquity and falsity, made authentic by You dear LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Does God Know I Love Him? [podcast]

YOU know when you are listening to a wolf when He only speaks of God’s love for us but never about God’s command that we love Him – and if we don’t, we are going to hell. Beware. The LORD’s been 100% faithful to us and yet He requires our faithfulness to Him or hell awaits (Matthew 22:37-40). Our obedience to the LORD should come out of our love for Him. Obedience to God is an expression of our love for Him. “Obedience to God, is the deepest level of love, and the greatest form of worship.” unknown Jesus says: […]

Church Membership, Manipulation, and Money [podcast]

Is there a connection between church membership and money? “Her princes (leaders) in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.” Ezekiel 22:27 There is no evidence in the New Testament of what we see today perpetrated as “church membership.” Church membership is merely a tool in the arsenal of modern pastors to capture the souls and the money of those ensnared by it. “Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.” 2 Corinthians 1:24 In […]
