There’s Only One Gospel of Christ! The Heresy of Pauline Gospel Exclusivity Exploded [podcast]
Some today are claiming there is more than one Gospel. Is this true or false?
An increasing number of vile, diabolical wolves are claiming that there’s more than one Gospel. They claim that Paul had a separate, a different gospel than Jesus and the other apostles and that Paul’s gospel is the only one that counts for New Testament saints. Ready to put this claim to the test?
Paul not only uses the term “my gospel”, he also uses the words “THE gospel” as in only one Gospel! In fact, in the New Testament canon, the words “THE gospel” appear 86 times while Paul’s use of the words “my gospel” appear only 3 times. Paul himself used the term “THE gospel” 59 times! I will leave it to you to do a search of the words “THE gospel” on your King James Bible software. Your jaw will drop as 86 results appear. And as you do, notice that the words “THE gospel” are used before and after Paul used this same term, further proving there’s only one Gospel – “THE gospel” of Jesus Christ.
Rom 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle (just one of the apostles), separated unto THE GOSPEL of God (not Paul),
Rom 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
Rom 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Rom 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
So we must ask, what is “THE GOSPEL”? As we just read, THE one Gospel centers upon and is and has to do with “his Son Jesus Christ our LORD” who was crucified for the sins of the world and raised again from the dead, right? Is Paul the only one who had this revelation? No.
Jesus, “the way, the truth, and the life,” simply used Paul to merely expound upon the ONE Gospel. That doesn’t make the Gospel Paul preached a separate or different gospel. In fact, the Holy Ghost through Paul himself told us that anyone preaching “ANY other gospel” is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) More on that in a moment.
Also, Paul uses the term “our gospel” 3 times (2 Corinthians 4:3; 1 Thessalonians 1:5; 2 Thessalonians 2:14).
To say there are different gospels would be to say that there is more than one way to God. Jesus Christ is the Gospel, the Good News, and the only way to God (John 14:6). This is the work of “the spirit of antichrist” perpetrated through antichrists (1 John 2:18; 4:1-6).
Before Paul was even saved, the words “many believed” appears 4 times in the Word of God and 1 time shortly after Paul was saved (John 2:23; 8:30; 10:42; 12:42; Acts 9:42). So, were those people, those “many” who believed, believing into “another gospel” – a gospel other than that one Gospel of Christ spoken of throughout the New Testament canon?
So you read the “Left Behind” series and read and listened to Hal Lindsey’s “Late Great Planet Earth” and dispensational poison and yet didn’t read God’s Word for yourself? No wonder you are horribly misled. Repent now and get into God’s Word for yourself as God commanded! (2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 17:10-11)
At this point, any honest person would be utterly ashamed that they ever bought the lie that there’s more than one gospel. Any person saying there’s more than one gospel is preaching “another gospel” and is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9)
It is delusional to believe there’s more than one Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Scriptures of the LORD simply do not teach such and clearly refute such a lie. The only reason there would need to be “another gospel” would be due to the imperfection of “the gospel” of Christ.
The one original Gospel begins with Jesus, not Paul, and Paul only continued what Jesus had started in his preaching of the one original Gospel.
There’s only one kingdom of God. There’s only one Gospel. The term “THE gospel” appears 86 times in the New Testament canon! Paul used the words “my gospel” just 3 times and that doesn’t mean he had a different or separate gospel, but rather that he had revelation of “THE gospel,” that is, the one Gospel and not “another gospel” which he himself says is of “another spirit” and peddled by those who are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) This is classic slight of hand deception being wielded over the gullible. A simple search of “the gospel” and “my gospel” blows up their sham. The score is 86 to 3. Paul himself used the term “THE gospel” 59 times!!!!! Dispensationalists will never be heard revealing the number differential here because it simply doesn’t play into the agenda they are pushing as they peddle “another gospel.” (Galatians 1:6-9) There is no other Gospel, good news, except Jesus Christ, encapsulated in His one Gospel, “THE Gospel.”
Jesus Christ is “the true God, and eternal life.”
“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.” 1 John 5:20
Notice Paul’s use of the words “ANY other gospel” – twice… which means there can’t possibly be “ANY other gospel.”
“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert THE gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach ANY OTHER gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach ANY OTHER gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:6-9
The phrases “another gospel” and “any other gospel” could mean but one thing – that there is only one Gospel.
What’s Satan’s Goal in this “More than One Gospel” Heresy?
In brief, dispensational theology is the construct of “evil men and seducers”, “ungodly men” who are “turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Jude 4; 2 Timothy 3:13) All dispensationalists teach the golden calf pet doctrine of “once saved always saved” also called “eternal security.” This is done to evade the cross Jesus and His apostles preached and to promulgate the antinomian lie of the ages upon men. They falsely believe that the apostle Paul didn’t address doctrines like repentance, the crucified life, hell fire, etc. This is Satan’s plan to hide the hard truths of Christ’s one Gospel, all of which Paul preached.
Were there Born Again New Testament Saints BEFORE Paul Came Along? YES.
Firstly, at the onset of the record of the Acts of the Apostles, on record in the book of Acts, let us consider that Christ had already shed His precious blood and declared “It is finished.” (John 19:30) “It is finished” simply means “Paid in full.” So, the perfect price for redeeming fallen men was already, a while before Paul was even saved and so, this alone tells us that He who is “not willing that any should perish” was immediately saving souls into His eternal kingdom (1 Timothy 2:4-6; 2 Peter 3:9, etc.).
There’s mountains of evidence that there were well over 8,000 new converts to Christ BEFORE Paul was even saved (Acts 2:41; 4:4). This alone disproves the lie that no one could be saved before Paul came along. Also, this further exposes the deification of Jesus’ servant Paul by dispensational heretics.
The book of Acts is written in chronological order and Paul wasn’t even saved will Acts 9. We witness the birth of the church in the first 2 chapters of Acts.
Jesus tells His 120 gathered together praying that they were going to be baptized with the Holy Ghost. How could anyone believe that Jesus was going to send His Spirit upon lost souls? Ludicrous.
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Acts 1:8
And Jesus kept His promise:
“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” Acts 2:4
Read this to witness how it is further established that many were saved by Christ before Paul was even saved:
“Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.” Acts 2:37-41
Under the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, Peter also preached for men to “repent” and “be converted” and so it was obviously possible and happening well before Paul was ever saved.
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” Acts 3:19
Dispensationalist Nightmare
The dispensationalist vainly believes he’s not accountable to the teachings of Christ, the One the dispensationalist claims has saved him. Odd at best. The dispensationalist has bought the egregious lie that only Paul’s writings are essential to New Testament saints. Little do these deceived souls realize that Paul preached exactly what Christ preached – the cardinal doctrines of the one Gospel of Jesus Christ:
- hell/damnation (Romans 1:32; 3:8; 6:23; 13:2; 1 Corinthians 11:29; 2 Corinthians 5:11; Galatians 5:19-21; 2 Thessalonians 2:12; 1 Timothy 5:12, etc.)
- the crucified life (Romans 6; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 3:5; 4:5, 10-12; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; Colossians 3:3, etc.)
- the essential of personal holiness (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1; Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 5:25-27; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-7, etc.)
- the conditions essential to being taken when Christ returns (Ephesians 5:25-27
- repentance (Acts 17:30; 20:21; 26:20; 2 Corinthians 7:8-10; 12:21, etc.)
- judgment (Acts 17:31; 24:25; Romans 1:32; 2:2, 3, 5; 5:16, 18; 14:10; 1 Corinthians 1:10; 4:3; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Galatians 5:10; 2 Thessalonians 1:5; 1 Timothy 5:24)
That which sounds logical is not necessarily biblical. It may sound logical to be told that you can’t understand the bible without learning the different dispensations, but such is never said by god in his word. and, we know he gave us “All things that pertain unto life and godliness” – all things we needed, in His word (2 Peter 1:3-4).
The dispensational system is a doctrine of devils crafted and peddled by deceivers in an attempt to hide the cardinal doctrines, the hard truths of the one Gospel of Jesus Christ in order to promulgate Satan’s eternal security heresy (Genesis 2:17; 3:4). Of all the human writers of the New Testament canon, clearly Paul taught the most on faith and grace and so the dispensationalist can easily hide in things Paul taught while ignoring the hard truths he taught. They aren’t very deep or bright and we know this because Paul taught these same hard truths!
The central passage defining “THE GOSPEL” the only Gospel, is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4:
1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you THE GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Clearly, to say there is “another gospel” is to say that there’s another way to God – a way other than Jesus Christ.
But Jesus says He alone is exclusively “THE way” and that is exactly what “THE gospel” communicates in no uncertain terms (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:5).
So, did the Gospel writers, and the apostles John and Peter preach “another gospel”? Did they preach something different than Paul’s gospel? If so they are “accursed” according to Paul and so why would the LORD have sovereignly ordained that their writings were included in the New Testament canon of Holy Scripture? (Galatians 1:6-9) And we know this isn’t true because the Holy Spirit told us through Christ’s apostle Peter that we have the canon of Scripture because “holy men (plural) of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2 Peter 1:21)
Demonic dispensationalists claim that there’s more than one gospel. They falsely teach that the the Gospel of Jesus is different than the gospel of Paul and a different Gospel than Peter and John and the other Holy Spirit inspired writers of the New Testament canon. They falsely extrapolate this from Paul’s use of the term “my gospel.” (Romans 2:16; 16:25; 2 Timothy 2:8)
Let’s put this to the biblical test, shall we?
Paul not only uses the term “my gospel”, he also uses the words “THE gospel” as in only one Gospel! In fact, in the New Testament canon, the words “THE gospel” appear 86 times while Paul’s use of the words “my gospel” appear only 3 times. Paul himself used the term “THE gospel” 59 times! I will leave it to you to do a search of the words “THE gospel” on your King James Bible software. Your jaw will drop as 86 results appear. And as you do, notice that the words “THE gospel” are used before and after Paul used this same term, further proving there’s only one Gospel – “THE gospel” of Jesus Christ – which is not exclusive to Paul dispensation of it which simply refers to his stewardship of the calling God gave him to dispense the one and eternal Gospel of Jesus Christ who is the Gospel.
“Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.” Philippians 1:7
“My grace” simply refers to the blessing of God’s grace bestowed upon Paul in his ministry to those saints he was writing to. In another place, as Paul spoke of his labor in the LORD, he speaks of “the grace of God which was with me.” (1 Corinthians 15:10)
“But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10
Paul’s use of the words “my grace” does not mean that it was exclusive to him. Scripture tells us that “GRACE and truth came by Jesus Christ” and is available “to ALL men.” (John 1:17; Titus 2:11)
“Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” John 1:17
Inspired by the Holy Spirit, Paul himself penned these words:
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to ALL men (not just Paul).” Titus 2:11
The apostle Paul’s use of this term “my grace” doesn’t mean it’s exclusively for or of Paul, a mere man, a messenger. In the same way, his use of the term “my gospel” merely means that he is preaching THE one Gospel of Christ according to the divine calling and grace given to him to do so. He was given grace to preach the one Gospel – of Jesus Christ. 59 times he called it “THE gospel.”
Now do we begin to see how this evil system that falsely claims there’s more than one gospel deifies Paul and demotes Jesus Christ?
The Dispensation Deception of the Dispensationalist Heretics
Now let’s read the 4 Bible verses where Paul uses the word “dispensation.” The Greek word for “dispensation” is oikonomia and refers to an overseer, a fiscal agent who has been given an administration, a stewardship of the one Gospel. Dispensation simply means to dispense.
1Co_9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a DISPENSATION of the gospel is committed unto me.
Eph_1:10 That in the DISPENSATION of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Eph_3:2 If ye have heard of the DISPENSATION of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Col_1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the DISPENSATION of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
It is befuddling to realize that the whole dispensationalist movement is built on the foundation of Paul’s use of the word “dispensation” which they completely misinterpret and add volumes to.
Christ’s Gospel or Paul’s Gospel?
“Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,” Romans 1:1
Paul says here that as “an apostle”, he was “separated unto the gospel of God,” and not his own gospel. False teachers are saying the “gospel of God” and the “gospel of Christ” are two different gospels. One particular fraud, Trey Searcy of Truth Time Radio, used Romans 1:1 in a vain attempt to “prove” this. Let’s look. Here was my reply:
“gospel or God” and “gospel of Christ” are the same gospel – “Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the GOSPEL OF GOD” Romans 1:1…. then in Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Notice that Paul was not ashamed of “THE gospel of Christ.” Hello. Paul didn’t preach his own gospel. Right here he makes it clear that he preached and was not ashamed of “the gospel of Christ.” Case closed. In Romans 1:16 Paul states that “the gospel of Christ”, not the gospel of Paul, “is the power of God unto salvation.”
According to Romans 1, the “gospel of God” and “gospel of Christ” are one and the same Gospel because “God so loved the world…. “ (John 3:16) …. “the (one and only) GOSPEL OF CHRIST” is “to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” (Romans 1:1, 16)
Repentance
Here’s more proof that Satan is the author of this whole dispensational system. Jesus says “Except ye repent, ye shall ALL like wise perish.” (Luke 13:3, 5) Paul taught repentance (Acts 20:21; 2 Corinthians 7:9-10). “Repentance” is found 13 times in respect to Paul (Acts thru Hebrews). Repentance is a Gospel essential and so it’s clear that Satan is behind this removal of the need to repent in order to be saved. “Seducing spirits and doctrines of devils” are exactly what this demonic dispensational system is all about (1 Timothy 4:1-2). The men who have concocted this system aren’t very bright or should we say, they are depending on they ignorance of their prey. They are hoping you don’t find out that Paul preached what his Master Christ preached. And that’s why these antichrists dismiss the teachings of Jesus Christ Himself, claiming that His words, Christ’s teachings are not important or essential to those New Testament believers who are saved by this very and only Savior whose teachings they are dismissing. Think on that one.
These dispensational devils are simply regurgitating recycle heresy when they teach that the Gospel Jesus, John the Baptist, and Peter preached a different gospel than Paul preached. The underlying motive is to rid the message of the hard truths. Jesus, John the Baptist, and Paul use verses on repentance like Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Luke 13:3, 5; Acts 17:30-31; 2 Corinthians 7:10; 2 Peter 3:9.
“The antichrists (many) will follow the false prophet which that demonic spirit has clothed themselves as angels of light and has been building the false church and filling it with all kinds of doctrine that falls short of and goes beyond the doctrine of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ as plainly revealed in the New Testament canon of Scripture.” David Taylor
Trey Searcy, Robert Breaker, and all the dispensational wolves are essentially teaching that even though Jesus had already died and rose again, no one could be saved until Paul’s epistles appeared decades later. Paul’s epistles date to beginning in about 60AD. Yet we know by the record of the book of Acts, beginning before Paul was even saved, that 8,000 souls were saved by the LORD via Peter’s preaching at Pentecost, the day the church was born. It was later that Paul was saved (Acts 9).
Was Paul the only messenger (apostle) that the LORD used to reveal His one Gospel? If so, why do we have books in the New Testament canon of other of Christ’s apostles? Why didn’t God not only include Paul’s books in the New Testament canon? Surely those other human writers of New Testament Scripture were also teaching according to Christ’s one Gospel, right? Right. Such is self-evident. Let’s explore the Bible concerning the claims that Paul’s gospel is the only gospel.
A closer look at the whole of Scripture reveals that the one, the exclusive Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Good News, is Christ Himself, and that He used several of His messengers to reveal it to us, not just Paul.
“holy men (plural) of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2 Peter 1:21)
The word “gospel” appears 104 times in the New Testament canon. 28 times the word “gospel” appears outside of Paul’s writings. So, in the 4 Gospels, the word “gospel” is used 17 times. 17 times the word “gospel” appears in the 4 Gospels, specifically associated with the Son of God. This is years before Paul was even saved. Did JESUS have the real “gospel” or did the Almighty Himself have to wait till Paul penned it? Did Jesus bring the Gospel or Paul? Did Jesus die for the sins of the world or did the sinner Paul do so? Did the New Testament church begin at the Day of Pentecost when 3,000 souls were saved under Peter’s preaching or is this a lie and only Paul later brought the true Gospel?
This “more than one gospel” delusion is a laughable heresy being peddled that deifies Paul and demotes Jesus Christ and says that only Paul had the Gospel that applies to New Testament saints and that the “the gospel of Jesus Christ” was “another gospel” for another people (2 Corinthians 11:4; Galatians 1:6-9). Anyone teaching this is a false teacher. Run! The Pauline cult.
“The beginning of THE gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;” Mark 1:1
“Gospel” means good news and is directly coupled with “Jesus Christ, the Son of God.” Paul is not the good news, Jesus Christ is. Jesus Christ chose and appointed the apostle Paul to preach HIS (Jesus’) one Gospel and yet Paul is but a mere man as were the other apostles. Jesus Christ is God.
“…the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.” 1 Timothy 6:14-16
No different than when John wrote that he was “the disciple whom Jesus loved”, so Paul used the words “my gospel” which dispensationalists erroneously take to mean Paul had his own gospel, a different Gospel. Beware. Was John the only “disciple whom Jesus loved”? Was Paul the only messenger of the one true “gospel of Jesus Christ”? No. The use of the words “THE gospel” before and after Paul in the New Testament canon make this abundantly clear. One singular Gospel preached by John the Baptist, Jesus, and His holy apostles. And Jesus Himself is that Gospel! Paul was but one of the messengers Jesus Christ sent to communicate His one Gospel, which reveals HIMSELF. In fact, Paul wrote “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.” (2 Corinthians 4:5)
Paul simply revealed much more of the gospel of Jesus. He was commissioned with a dispensational stewardship to unfold the Gospel of Jesus Christ which began to be preached in the 4 Gospel books. Dispensational simply means to dispense and yet the dispensational wolves have defined it as much more with no biblical authority to do so. That does not mean it was a different Gospel which brings a curse as “another gospel.” (Galatians 1:6-9) That’s why it’s dangerous language to say Paul had a different gospel or that there’s more than one Gospel. Scripture clearly refutes this antichrist heretical idea which is designed to confuse and distract from Christ – the only “Head” of His one body (Colossians 1:18-19; 2:18-19).
Paul himself says that if any person or angel preaches “ANY other gospel” he is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) Christ’s Gospel as is documented in “ALL scripture” and not just the writings of Paul (2 Timothy 3:16; Galatians 1:6-9). The only other gospels we read about in God’s Word would be a false gospel, “another gospel” and “ANY other gospel” and the acceptance or preaching of such makes one “accursed.” (2 Corinthians 11:4; Galatians 1:6, 8-9)
Paul had a specific part in dispensing the revelation of the one original Gospel of Jesus Christ as did Peter and John and the other divinely ordained scribes of the New Testament Scriptures (Matthew 13:52).
Paul had a further revelation of THE one Gospel, that’s all. But people are being gullible and heretical to say there’s more than one Gospel.
Just because God used Paul to unfold, to reveal that Gospel, doesn’t make it Paul’s Gospel which cancels out any and all other references or men HE used to dispense or reveal His one Gospel. That’s heresy and an interpretational error and this type twisting of the truth is the type thing done by cults.
If God ordained that the word “gospel” appear many times outside of Paul’s writings, especially in the singular, definite article form of “THE gospel,” did He not ordain that we understand that He gave us just one Gospel? Yes.
Peter, Christ’s apostle, uses the word “gospel” 4 times in 1 Peter, without the name of Paul. So, did Peter have and preach “another gospel” which would make him “accursed”? (Galatians 1:6-9) Yes or no?
“The Gospel of God” appears 7 times in the New Testament and was used both by Paul and Peter, neither one hinting or attributing it to themselves – but as it reads – “the gospel of GOD”, not man.
It’s interesting to note that the phrase “the gospel of Paul” appears no where in the Bible.
Notice this:
“Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostleS (plural!) and prophets by the Spirit;” Ephesians 3:5
Did Paul state that he was the only one the one Gospel was revealed to? No. Instead Paul tells us that “it is now revealed unto his holy apostleS (plural!) and prophets (plural) by the Spirit;” Case closed.
The one Gospel was now “revealed unto his holy apostleS and prophets (plural) by the Spirit” and not just Paul (Ephesians 3:5).
Paul is saying that “now” under the New Covenant, the fulness of the one Gospel of Christ is revealed.
He speaks of “other ages” which refers to the past ages and times and puts the emphasis on the timing of GOD, not Paul’s revelation which were from GOD. Yet the divine revelations were certainly not only given to Paul. They were given to “his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit” of which Paul is but one of them.
Listening to the disdaining tone of those who peddle this heresy that Paul is the only one who had the gospel, is disturbing and revealing. They are cult teachers, blaming anything you’ve ever learned as being of “religion.” This is classis cultic action to discredit the truth in order to bring in the lie. Sophomoric at best. This technique is often used by deceivers. While they themselves corrupt the Word of God, they arrogantly act is if they have exclusive rights and the sole ability to “rightly divide (ing) the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)
“Ye have taken away the key of knowledge” (Luke 11:52)
Saints, there is no end to the insidious wolves working right in our midst today who each have their own special angle to sell you on. They won’t tell you just to get into God’s Word organically and seek His face relentlessly. Why? Well, they want to control the interpretation of the Bible with their “private interpretation” and they want you as a customer and a return customer (2 Peter 1:19-21). This is how indoctrination occurs. So many today are vying for your attention to their ministry, their teaching, seeking to convince, to sell you on the notion that THEY have the exclusive inside scoop, the keys to understanding the Bible. This includes those who claim the Bible can’t be understood without knowing the original languages, the lie that you can’t understand the New Testament without knowing all the Hebrew roots, and those who chop up and interpret the Bible via dispensations, etc. Whether subtly or blatantly, each claims to have the exclusive keys to understanding the Bible.
Jesus warned:
“Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.” Luke 11:52
Principally, taking away “the key of knowledge” deals with stealing center stage, cornering the market on interpretation, displacing God from teaching His children (1 John 2:20, 27).
The Greek word for “key” in Luke 11:52 (above):
κλείς
kleis
klice
From G2808; a key (as shutting a lock), literally or figuratively: – key.
This rebuke and expose’ of Jesus concerning lawyers refers to those in leadership who serve the god of self and therefore block the knowledge of God from and misdirect, mislead the people under their influence.
Of this verse John Wesley wrote:
“Ye have taken away the key of knowledge – Ye have obscured and destroyed the knowledge of the Messiah, which is the key of both the present and the future kingdom of heaven; the kingdom of grace and glory. Ye have not entered in – Into the present kingdom of heaven.”
Adam Clarke writes:
“Ye have taken away the key of knowledge – By your traditions ye have taken away the true method of interpreting the prophecies: ye have given a wrong meaning to those scriptures which speak of the kingdom of the Messiah, and the people are thereby hindered from entering into it. See on Matthew 23:13 (note).
Ye shut up the kingdom – As a key by opening a lock gives entrance into a house, etc., so knowledge of the sacred testimonies, manifested in expounding them to the people, may be said to open the way into the kingdom of heaven. But where men who are termed teachers are destitute of this knowledge themselves, they may be said to shut this kingdom; because they occupy the place of those who should teach, and thus prevent the people from acquiring heavenly knowledge.
The kingdom of heaven here means the Gospel of Christ; the Pharisees would not receive it themselves, and hindered the common people as far as they could.”
Speaking of not being right there in the Bible, where does the BIBLE instruct New Testament believers to discern, to view the Bible via dispensations? Nowhere. And to assert such is to deceptively add to the Bible, the Word of God and be under the curse of Revelation 22:18-19.
Demonic dispensationalists refuse to synthesize the whole of Scripture and therefore claim there is more than one gospel and that New Testament saints are only responsible for obeying Paul’s writings – Romans through Philemon. This they do in the face of a holy God who guarantees the lake of fire to all who remove from His Word (Revelation 22:18-19). They ditch half the New Testament canon to reduce saving faith to something that doesn’t require true repentance, something much less deep than what Jesus and disciples define it as – true, necessary repentance which always, without exception, produces a holy, obedience life (Luke 13:3, 5; Matthew 3:7-10, etc.). You see, repentance was and is the first word, the first command of the original Gospel, done by faith, and that which ushers in the necessary divine regeneration (Acts 20:21).
Jesus says “Ye MUST be born again” and “born again” is synonymous with what Paul calls “the washing of regeneration.” (John 3:3, 7; Titus 3:5-7)
Recently while talking to a lady who has been ensnared in this dispensation cult, I said this:
Why do you think those wolves taught you that only some or none of the book of Hebrews applies to New Testament saints? Hebrews addresses all of the “holy brethren” 3:1 and so if you’re saved, the whole book of Hebrews applies to you and the witness of the same truths throughout the book of Hebrews is all over the rest of the New Testament. In this alone they are caught red handed. As to the reason these dispensationalist frauds are teaching that Hebrews doesn’t apply, let me help you: They taught you this lie – the lie that Hebrews doesn’t apply to you – because they know Hebrews repeatedly dismantles and obliterates their primary pet heresy – once saved always saved, eternal security. You are being deceived and have a deceiving spirit over your life and it will remain until God opens your eyes and you repent and return to Him (Hosea 14:1-2; 2 Corinthians 3:14-16; 1 Timothy 4:1-2).
The Greater Danger
Those who bought this Pauline gospel heresy did not learn these things from reading Scripture for themselves – they learned this heresy by listening to mere sinful men, wolves who imposed this system on the Scriptures and led them to believe this lie by isolating a few certain phrases, words, and verses to the exclusion of the whole counsel of Scripture. Cultist like this usually hyper-interpret certain verses, words, phrases while ignoring the whole of what Scripture communicates.
HOW do you know if someone is imposing something upon the Scripture text they are reading from IF you haven’t personally, organically, thoroughly studied the whole of God’s Word for yourself? You don’t.
That’s why it’s essential to personally study the Bible organically and not be influenced by mere men. Many have been misled. They DID NOT go into the Bible and read it all by themselves with the Holy Ghost and come out with these ideas. It took some crafty deceiver or deceivers to convince you of this heretical view and much more.
Are you a dispensationalist? Yes or no?
Do you realize that the Bible never says to read it or view the kingdom of Christ via dispensations? There is no Scripture which gives such a hint or instruction. This is the work of devils and sinful men (1 Timothy 4:1-2)
Beware of “Strange Doctrines”
We were warned about “strange doctrines” and that is what this heresy that Paul alone had the gospel is – “Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.” (Hebrews 13:9)
The larger error and concern here is that those who’ve been taught this heresy are inevitably gullible and easily misled and will be further snared and deceived by the vile wolves who taught them this error.
These ravenous wolves are teaching that Paul is the only one who had and gave the one true Gospel of Christ. Total heresy.
Long before Paul penned his epistles, the apostles of Christ, without Paul, ascertained what was necessary under the New Testament Gospel. See Acts 15. So, did they have the one true Gospel? To say they didn’t is utterly dishonest and false. To say John, Peter, James, and the other apostles of Christ and writers of the New Testament Scripture didn’t have the one true Gospel is to curse the whole life and ministry of Christ Himself. To say such is to say that the Gospel wasn’t available to men before 60AD. That would mean Jesus’ perfect blood sacrifice was blocked and ineffectual, not available to redeem men for approximately 30 years after He died to save all men.
Is Paul the only One Christ trusted with His one Gospel? No!
If only Paul had the only Gospel that applies to New Testament saints, why do we have books from others in the New Testament canon? Did the Almighty make a mistake? Did He give us things we didn’t need in His Word?
Of the 27 books of the New Testament canon, Paul wrote 13 (or 14 if you count Hebrews). Peter wrote 2 and John wrote 4 of the canon books. Why did God give us New Testament authors other than Paul if Paul had the only Gospel or revelation of it? Peter used the term “THE gospel” 4 times. Are you going to say the LORD is a fraud for including Peter’s version of the ONE Gospel in the New Testament canon? Someone is lying and it’s not the LORD.
“The Everlasting Gospel”
Notice below how in Revelation 14:6 we read the words “the everlasting gospel” and not “Paul’s gospel.”
“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,” Revelation 14:6
Paul merely used the phrase “my gospel” as referring to the revelation Jesus gave him of the one true Gospel. And that one true Gospel was not limited to Paul. Jesus wasn’t limited and clearly didn’t limit His divine revelation to one messenger. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have other of Christ’s apostles expounding upon the one Gospel of Christ.
There’s only 1 Gospel. Just because God gave Paul an apportioned revelation of the LORD’s one Gospel, doesn’t mean it was exclusively Paul’s Gospel, or was only revealed by Paul, or that it’s another Gospel. Cease the heresy now.
Echoing this same heavenly warning and truth as did Paul in Galatians 1, the apostle John wrote that if anyone who is saved doesn’t continue in “the doctrine of Christ“, such a person no longer has God but rather is now an apostate, a departed lost soul.
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth (remains) in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.” 2 John 9
Notice that the apostle John here doesn’t tell us that Paul exclusively authored “the doctrine of Christ.” So, did God forget to tell us something we needed to know? Not a chance. If Paul’s writings were the only ones written directly to us, then why are we never told such in Scripture?
It’s Christ’s Gospel, not exclusively the Gospel Jesus gave to Paul which He also gave to all of His apostles – and that’s why it’s called “the apostle’s doctrine” in Acts 2:42 and not “Paul’s gospel.”
The term “THE gospel” appears 4 times in 1 Peter 1, penned by the apostle Peter. And, Paul isn’t mentioned once in these instances as associated with the Gospel.
1Peter 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached THE GOSPEL unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
1Peter 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by THE GOSPEL is preached unto you.
1Peter 4:6 For for this cause was THE GOSPEL preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
1Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not THE GOSPEL of God?
The one “Gospel of God” is not exclusive to Paul, it’s for all….. and “is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;” (Ephesians 3:5) The Bible never says the New Testament Gospel was exclusively revealed to and through Paul. Paul didn’t even believe that. He himself says that the Gospel is “now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.” (Ephesians 3:5)
Dispensationalists are claiming that Paul’s revelation, as is recorded in the Bible, is MORE divinely inspired than that of the other 39 writers. But Paul himself didn’t believe that (2 Timothy 3:16).
“For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.” 1 Corinthians 9:17
G3622
οἰκονομία
oikonomia
oy-kon-om-ee’-ah
From G3623; administration (of a household or estate); specifically a (religious) “economy”: – dispensation, stewardship.
Total KJV occurrences: 8
So, “a dispensation of the gospel” simply means that Paul was given the divine responsibility, the stewardship of administering, dispensing the Gospel to the Gentiles. That doesn’t exclude the other apostles Jesus used to make known His Gospel.
Baptism
As usual, these cultists butcher the doctrine of baptisms. In a vain attempt to prove that Paul’s is a separate gospel, dispensational wolf Trey Searcy says: “But Paul says there is now only “one baptism.” (Ephesians 4:5) But in Hebrews 6 the writer chides believers for not knowing the foundational “the doctrine of baptisms.” Notice, “baptismS” is plural. Elsewhere, in 1 Corinthians 12:13, Paul speaks of being baptized or immersed into Christ and therefore His body by the Holy Spirit upon being born again and that’s what “one baptism” is referring to in Ephesians 4:5.
“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 12:12-13
“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” Ephesians 4:4-6
All cults indoctrinate their prey using a few Bible verses to the exclusion of the whole of Scripture. All other Scripture is ignored or slanted and bent by those who handle the Word of God deceitfully (2 Corinthians 4:1-2). This is exactly what we see the dispensational devils doing.

The Greatest of these is Charity [podcast]
God sent His only begotten Son to die for your sins and He now calls you to lose your life in this fleeting world and follow Jesus – His example and His teachings.
“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” 1 John 3:16
Loving God and Others
“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40
Following Our LORD Jesus by Putting God and Others Above Ourselves
“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:” Philippians 2:3-5
Due to the Many Evil things Transpiring in this Late Hour before Our LORD Returns, the Love of Many toward God and Others, is Waxing Cold
“All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:8-14
Keeping Ourselves in the Love of God
“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” Jude 21
“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:7-8
“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” 1 John 4:7-8
“Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;” Romans 12:9-10
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” John 13:34-35
The Savior’s Love in His True Disciples vs the Lovers of Self
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5
God’s Love in Us
THE LOVE CHAPTER
Read it each morning this week in the King James Bible.
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
YOUR PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I come to You now, in Jesus’ name. Please make good on Your prayer of oneness – that Your people, Your body will be one with You. Thank You for dying for my sins Jesus, for shedding Your precious blood to purchase me to Yourself and the Father. Please break me, let me be poor in spirit and pure in heart. Cause me to be full of Thy holy love toward You and others. In Jesus’ Name, amen.

Getting Gospel Grounded [podcast]
Explosive Podcast Featuring Expose’ of the prophesied end times wolves and rich Christology!
Refusing to sit under the false gospel, false doctrines, false teachers, and wolves is not forsaking the assembling of the saints. It’s obedience to the LORD! See 2 Corinthians 6:17-18)
There is a “difference” between the true and the false leaders today. True disciples will always warn and help God’s people distinguish the false teachers and “discern between the unclean and the clean”:
“And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.” Ezekiel 44:23
False leaders are to be marked, to be scoped out and labeled in order to protect God’s people.
“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly (self-serving carnal appetites); and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” Romans 16:17-18
Beware of the Band aid Bandit Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing!
There are no shortcuts in serving the LORD. One must deny self and take up the cross daily to follow Jesus.
“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.” Luke 9:23-24
This is what gets to the root of that old man, that iniquitous evil bent, the flesh in us. Read Romans 6 each day this week prayerfully.
Lots of people, lots of fake pastors offering cross-less coping hacks, surface level “solutions” that have done nothing but perpetuate sinners in their sin. This is the same thing the greed-driven false prophets of old did…. in order to gain notice, to gain nickels, noses, and numbers for their own self-serving agenda to make merchandise of the people (2 Peter 2:1-3). A message without the cross is not the Gospel (Galatians 2:20; 6:14. etc.).
“They (the false leaders of Israel) have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.” Jeremiah 6:14; 8:11
They operate by the principle of “coddling them in their sin while you confiscate their cash.”
“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily (stealthily) shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.” 2 Peter 2:1-3
False Prophets Promise Eternal Security to those Living in Sin. False Prophets give False Promises.
There are conditions to appropriating the promises of God. | Conditional Divine Promises
“They (the false leaders) say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace (with God); and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.” Jeremiah 23:17
In other words, false prophets lead people to believe that they will continue to have peace with God while they are living in sin and that they are judgment proof. Same lie Satan told the man and woman in the Garden which led to their fall into sin (Genesis 2:17; 3:4). Satan told Adam and Eve they would still be eternally secure if they sinned against God! Lie! Read Genesis 2:17 and 3:4 now. | Satan’s First Lie that He is Still Telling Today! [podcast]
What was Satan’s first teaching? Is he really still teaching that same lie?
Like the “many false prophets” of our day, the prophets in Israel were promising “Peace, peace” to the people – peace between them and God – when judgment loomed on the horizon (Jeremiah 23:17; Matthew 24:11). This is exactly what the eternal security wolves do when they promise, they give assurance to those are living in sin. Promising peace to people living in sin and under divine condemnation is criminal and could only be the work of the enemies of Christ. Promising peace to sinful people is a money maker for now and yet will land the liars and their prey in hell. Nothing could be more clear from Holy Scripture. The vast majority of pastors today are wolves who do just this. The wages of sin is still death and all who die in sin will perish….. Wolves entertain goats and condone their temporary trinkets at the costs of their eternal souls….
No one is going to walk in peace and assurance just because they speak of it, claim it, or because they desire to have peace and assurance. No, it’s only when we obey the Word of God that His peace and assurance flood our being. There’s no short cut to obedience (1 John 3:16-18).
Of this, Adam Clarke writes:
“Peace, peace – Ye shall have prosperity – when there was none, and when God had determined that there should be none. Here the prophets prophesied falsely; and the people continued in sin, being deceived by the priests and the prophets.”
The wolves among us stick a band aid on a wound that needs surgery. Surgery would involve painfully cleaning out the infection, the deep cut sin had caused. This would be the only way to bring healing, wholeness. In contrast, false leaders deal only at the surface level…. in fear of losing their audience and money, they withhold the divine truth from the people – because they aren’t concerned about the people but rather themselves (Philippians 3:18-19).
“Jehovah directs him (Jeremiah) to pour . . . out the message of impending doom because of their covetousness, the falsehood of the prophets and priests, and their shamelessness. It is characteristic of false prophets to promise prosperity in a time of spiritual declension… They were covetous and deceitful, and dealt with problems superficially. For their shamelessness they would share in the coming time of punishment.” William MacDonald, Believer’s Bible Commentary
Only obedience to Christ, to His cross message, will yield the fruit of freedom from sin.
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, IF ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32
The truth sets no one free from sin – until they obey Him, the Truth.
One man who recently discovered the divine power of the cross life shared:
“I’ve laid all my past sins at the feet of Jesus finally! Porn was 1 that I struggled with…it’s been gone 30 days now..1st time in 30 years…the pills are no more! Feels good to be truly saved my friend…thanks for all you do.”
Jesus forgives and sets free – as only He can do. Every other “source” is a lie.
Christ is Our Foundation
“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:11
“And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” 1 Corinthians 10:4
The Sound Doctrine of the Holy Scriptures is the Way God Ordained that We Know Him
“Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. 2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: 3 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.” Deuteronomy 32:1-4
The link between sound “doctrine” and being grounded in, knowing and dwelling in the LORD, “the Rock,” are inseparable.
Getting Gospel Grounded = Getting Grounded in Christ
“In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. 5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments 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 2:6-10
The Gospel is all about Jesus and anyone not becoming increasingly grounded in knowing and worshipping Him, is being led astray.
Getting Gospel Grounded is getting grounded in Christ, in studying and knowing Him, the reason He came… not following the latest global gimmick or “global revival gimmick” that some false prophet is pushing to bring attention to himself…. when you are becoming grounded in Christ you will not be lured in by the gimmicks.
“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
3 truths that will greatly increase your grounding in Christ…
1. John 10 – Knowing, following, and hearing the voice of the Great Shepherd of the sheep.
2. John 15 – Abiding in Christ and thereby bearing the fruit that He alone can produce and that glorifies Him.
3. John 17 – Being one with Christ and the Father – prayerfully being brought deeper into that interpenetrational union with the Lord.
Knowing God
“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3
Jesus Christ doesn’t need our acceptance, the acceptance of sinners – we are in utter need of His acceptance. We are all sinners and in desperate need of the acceptance of our Maker. Because we are separated from Him in our sin, God “commandeth all men every where to repent,” not to accept Him (Luke 13:3; John 1:12; Acts 17:30, etc.). When we admit we have sinned against Him and receive Jesus into our lives by faith, we are then and only then “accepted in the beloved” (Ephesians 1:6).
“Churching the Un-Churched” is the stated goal of the apostate modern local churches that litter America’s landscape.
False churches today seek to sell families on the need to join their country club where’s there’s fun for the whole family. These beguilers cater to the urban family to build their church business, with no intention of preaching the whole counsel of God’s Word, the cardinal doctrines of the original Gospel (Jude 3-4). Their goal is to entertain and to grow their church enterpri$e and not to ground their prey in Christ (Colossians, etc.). It’s all surface level, cosmetics. There is no repentance, no blood of Jesus, no King James Bible, no cross – no crucified life, no Holy Ghost baptism, no repentance, no personal holiness, no Christology, no readiness for the soon return of Christ, etc. The apostate modern church world exposed.
TODAY: A dear Christian young lady asked me why I am not part of a church group any longer. A gently-communicated litany of doctrines purposely not being taught in the modern churches ensued. Also the fact that that the King James Bible is no where to be found. They only use pitifully lame fake “bibles.” It’s a busine$$ to the modern pastors who refuse to preach cardinal biblical doctrines such as the divinity of Christ (Christology), hell, repentance, judgment to come, confessing and cleansing ourselves of all sin, the return of Christ and being ready for it at all times, the cross – crucified life, etc.
God is Calling Us to Follow Jesus – not Mere Men
Hebrews 6:17 speaks of “the immutability of his counsel.” Because of the immutability of the LORD Jesus Christ, the divine Author and Finisher of our faith, there is no muting His counsel, His Word. It is eternal and unchanging (Psalms 119:89; 146:6; Mark 13:1; John 10:35, etc.). God is eternal divine perfection and therefore His Word, His truth, His counsel cannot be muted, silenced, set aside, or changed.
So many looking for a word and not THE Word.
“God forbid”
“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” Galatians 6:14
The Gospel centric disciple revels in, is immersed in the glory of the Savior. He understands that salvation is about Christ and not himself.
“To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. 3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:2-7
Paul made a determination.
“For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:2
From the very foundation of the world and forever more, the Gospel, salvation has always been and will always be about Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God – the crucified, buried, and raised again Savior of the world.
“And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:8
Religion is perhaps Satan’s greatest tool to wedge itself between the “one Mediator” and the people – before and after one is saved.
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” 1 Timothy 2:5-6
Abiding Fruit. Light Shining.
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
Perhaps the greatest spiritual blessing teeming in and overflowing from the lives of believers that allows for powerfully moving evangelism, is the joy of the LORD. Moved men move men. Yes, men filled with the Holy Spirit’s fruit, the love, the joy, and the peace of God, are powerfully used of God to win men to Himself (Galatians 5:16-23). No sinner, no backslider has these treasures but every one of them desires them! The fruit produced by the Holy Spirit in Christ’s saints is a big part of that light Jesus instructed us to let “shine” before men.
Being is more important than doing. Abiding in Christ, rooted and grounded, assures that “fruit,” “more fruit,” and “much fruit” will be produced in our lives (John 15:1-16).
Emanating from the Jesus-worshiping Gospel-grounded disciple will be every dimension of Heaven’s fruit and glorious fragrance
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:” 2 Corinthians 2:14-15
Gospel Foundation
“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Psalms 11:3
Is “the foundation of God” being laid in your personal life? (2 Timothy 2:19) If you are not diligently, daily, relentlessly, and perpetually in God’s Word, not only is His foundation not being built, you are backslidden and in utter need of repentance before it’s too late.
Those without the proper, the biblical foundation, will fall instead of flourish – with no exception (Psalm 1). Our LORD taught concerning the absolute necessity of being deeply rooted and grounded in Him.
“And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.” Luke 6:46-49
Summation:
- Worshiping, trusting, and obeying God are essential.
- Abiding in Christ guarantees the fruitfulness that glorifies Him.
- Every life not carefully founded, soundly grounded in Christ, on His stated terms, His Word, will be washed away in the coming storms and judgment.
- Only those whose lives which are built upon the foundation of obedience to the Word of God will be left standing before the LORD for eternal blessing.
- Great shall be the irrevocable ruin in hell of all who refused to do things God’s way in their brief earthly life.
Read Psalm 1 and 92.
In these final days, you can get all scared, sulk, filled and paralyzed with fear, OR you can settle down and get deeper, as you “search the scriptures” (John 5:39-40; Psalms 119:165).
Jesus is washing and sanctifying the bride He’s returning for. Like the five wise virgins, Christ’s true bride is in love with Him, ever and eagerly looking for His soon return, the Marriage of the Lamb, the Great Bridegroom with His true bride and their dwelling place, the New Jerusalem (Matthew 25:1-13; Revelation 21). This remnant body is submitting to Christ (John 13:8; 15:3; Ephesians 5:25-27; Revelation 19:7-10).
“Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.” John 15:3
Crisis Management Mode vs Perpetually Dwelling in His Word
The modern church world, run by lightweight seminarians, are perpetually in crisis management mode, never building “the foundation of God” in the lives of God’s people (2 Timothy 2:19).
Perpetual Blessings require perpetual fellowship with Heaven’s coming KING.
“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11
Continually seeking the LORD guarantees that you remain full of His strength, His joy, His divine peace.
Running to the LORD continually is essential. Instead of praying and the reading of God’s Word being simply a crisis management reaction, why not make it our meat, our lifestyle – that which we do daily, diligently, and fervently?
“The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” Proverbs 18:10
Are you running to Jesus?
“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2
If you are going to established in divine peace, if you are going to be “safe,” you must run to and remain grounded at the feet of Christ! Read Philippians 3:1-3.
Get filled, stay full, keep your lamp filled and overflowing (Matthew 25:1-13).
Matthew 7
“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. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. 28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.” Matthew 7:19-29
Hindrances to a sound, solid foundation.
“And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 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 4:16-19
Satan is the great distractor. His job, his work is to “steal, to kill, and to destroy” so as to cheat you out of the abundant life Jesus came to give you.
“The thief (Satan) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” John 10:10-11
This is like eating trashy, no-nutritional-value snacks, filling up on them and then having no room, no appetite for the steak and potatoes. What happens then? In an hour or less, your body is craving real nutrition. Junk food is a cheap substitute for real food that fills and nourishes the body. In the same way, eating the steak and potatoes of God’s Word fills the mind, the heart, and the life of all who banquet at the table of sound doctrine.
There are so many, the majority of those doing ministry, who have their flashy lures they use to draw you in and yet the shallow content only leaves you remaining in the entanglements, the snares of sin and the world…
What’s the LORD convicting you of friend? Could it be that He’s drawing you aside to Himself, to tuck your feet under His infinitely bountiful table…. drawing you to come and dine, to feast with Him?
These novices issue forth constant promises of God blessing you, of His favor and blessing being upon your life. Yet there’s no mention of any of the divinely stated conditions. This leaves those empty who who are being preyed upon and led astray, wondering what’s missing. These who flash the shiny lures to catch your eye, perhaps do so to gain you as a follower. Yet, what has this ever done to root and ground your heart and life in Christ?
Ever heard the saying, “All that glitters is not gold”?
Apostasy
Beware of the Manipulating Monsters: Spiritual Identity Theft [podcast]
Instead of fostering a deeper love for CHRIST in their hearers, local churches have diverted that loyalty, the faith of their hearers to themselves (1 Corinthians 29-2:5). This is “the spirit of antichrist” at work (1 John 2:18; 4:1-3). Anti in “antichrist” means “in place of” and the vast majority of local churches seek to replace Christ with themselves – to intercept the heart affections of their audience from loving Jesus Christ supremely – to rob Him of His glory for their own self-serving agenda! Beware! This was Paul’s warning of Colossians 1-2. Christ alone is the Supreme Creator, Sustainer, Reconciler, Redeemer, and Savior! Pour prayerfully over Colossians 1 and 2 this week beloved of God.
“…do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10
You cannot and won’t please everyone and such should not be your goal. Please God beloved and in NON-essentials, make your own decisions – void of the undue, unwarranted interference of others! (Read Romans 14.) Some people are operating in witchcraft and don’t realize it. They haven’t repented and learned how to mind their own business. And, so many live under the witchcraft of pleasing family and friends and the whims of others. If that’s you, you are not yet free but you can be. Seek the LORD in special prayer. Repent afresh and ask God to strip off every trace of witchcraft and control over your life. Ask Him to establish your life in His love and truth and all fear shall be vanquished from your life! See 1 John 4:16-18.
Note: Anything that is not specifically named as a sin in the Bible, is a NON-essential and that means that God gives YOU the liberty to conduct yourself as you see fit. Read and get to know Romans 14. | Learning to Mind Our Own Business
Those who insidiously seek to position themselves, to maneuver things to manipulate you, are fully arrogant and that’s why they believe THEY know better than God and you concerning your life, your decisions, your ministry, your direction, etc.. Beware. These are the very enemies of Christ. Like snakes in the grass, people like this are insidiously operating in witchcraft and as sure for hell as if they were already there (Galatians 5:19-21). Beware.
Untold scores of men, all of which had a calling from God, have allowed wicked manipulators to derail, destroy, and waste their lives. Beware.
Beware of those with an agenda….. an agenda that is not God’s agenda/will. With Jesus our LORD, the true disciple declares to God – “NOT my will, but thine be done” (Luke 22:42). All of the unsaved are under the control of Satan, the enemy of all souls.
“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:” Ephesians 2:1-2
Most if not all of us have realized that there are lots of manipulators around us who vie for the control of our lives, who attempt to push their agenda, their personal will on us. Solidifying our identity in Christ, becoming increasingly rooted and grounded in Him, is essential to be kept from such witchcraft. The aim, the stated will of God, is to root and ground every one of His saints ever more deeply into Christ. Pour prayerfully, meticulously over Colossians 1 and 2 beloved, and ask the LORD to root your heart and life deeper into Christ in whom alone you are “complete.” Ask the Father that your constitution, your innermost identity would be Christ and Christ alone! (Read Galatians 2:20; 6:14; 1 Corinthians 2:2, etc.)
“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” Galatians 6:14
If your life is not all about CHRIST, you are in trouble. Stop. Re-turn afresh to the LORD. Declare JESUS CHRIST as the LORD, Savior, Master, First Love of your life in this world! Do it with force! Memorize Galatians 6:14.
Satan is behind every attempt to derail God’s people from walking in His perfect will. Spiritual warfare. In light of the desire to get God’s Word into the hearts of the people, Paul requests prayer to be “delivered from unreasonable and wicked men.”
“Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: 2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.” 2 Thessalonians 3:1-3
Escaping the Witchcraft, the Manipulation
ANY person participating in the work of Satan is a child of the devil. Satan’s work is “to steal, to kill, and to destroy” (John 10:10). Any questions? Any activity, operation, or plan to steal the freedom or money or anything from another, is the work of Satan himself. So is to killing or destroying people or property unjustly.
May the LORD continue to increase His discernment in us – in order to see the enemy working through people from afar. Once we’ve allowed them in, they are within striking distance, right? Yes. See Matthew 7:6.
“And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.” Ecclesiastes 7:26
Did you see that? Did you see in Ecclesiastes 7:26 how those who obey God will escape the seduction and the clutches of manipulating people?
A careful reading, study, and meditation upon the words of this verse above, will yield important truths concerning spiritual warfare and overcoming through Christ.
“Witchcraft” is a soul damning sin – which means that any person operating in this sin is outside of Christ and as sure for hell as if they were already there (Galatians 5:19-21). Eternal security/once saved always saved is a lie from hell.
Any person who seeks to usurp authority over another person (his will and decisions, etc.) is operating by his own agenda and not the LORD’s. Such a person is rebellious and self-willed and therefore seeks to exert their witchcraft over the lives, the decisions, the will of others.
“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” 2 Timothy 2:24-26
Remember how manipulating Delilah was as she sought to manipulate and derail Samson? Read Judges 16.
There are many examples of manipulation in the Word of God, beginning in the Garden of Eden.
In the Scripture below, notice the interaction with Paul and the false prophet, Elymas. All interference of the Gospel is from Satan. Below is but one example. This man sought to exercise control over Paul and the deputy and how the LORD judged him:
Barnabas and Saul on Cyprus
Act 13:4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
Act 13:5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
Act 13:6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:
Act 13:7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
Act 13:8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
Act 13:9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
Act 13:10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
Act 13:11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
Act 13:12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
