BEWARE OF THE AHABS
SO many Ahabs…. WHERE O WHERE are the Elijah’s of today?
“Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?” Ezekiel 14:3
There’s a direct connection between how a man views women and successful living as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
“Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.” Proverbs 6:25
Men who live with lust in their hearts for women, for their outer beauty, will be beholden to this sin, in bondage, weakned to nothing, and unable to be valiant for the LORD as was the prophet Elijah who “was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly” and thereby feared and overcame sin and walked in the will of God (James 5:17).
“But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Matthew 5:28
“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 No man can serve two masters …” Matthew 6:22-24
Hearts and therefore “Eyes full of Adultery”
“Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;” 2 Peter 2:14-15
Men who have lust in their hearts, “Having eyes full of adultery”, are captive and subserviant to women and therefore unable to see and to keep the divine distinctions between the roles of male and female. Was this at the root of the men in Thyatira who allowed, who suffered that Jezebel to function outside of her role as a woman? (Revelation 2:20-24)
By their adulterous sin, these men are reduced to nothing. Their strength is small and they are therefore unable to put down rebellion against God such as a woman pretending to be an elder in Christ’s body (Proverbs 24:10).
“Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.” Proverbs 31:3
Women are to teach the younger women and in the gatherings of the body of Christ, are to learn in silence and never be allowed to usurp authority over men as was the case when Jesus rebuked the men at the church of Thyatira. See Revelation 2:20-24. Men are called and ordained to servant lead. Jesus gave His eldership gifts “to men” specifically (Ephesians 4:8-12; 1 Timothy 3:2, etc.). Be the man.
“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” 1 Timothy 2:11-12
Beware of the weak moral coward Ahabs who promote jezebel ….. This is exactly who Jesus rebuked in Revelation 2:20-24 because these spineless, gutless pansies allowed a woman named Jezebel to be an elder in the church at Thyatira. Case closed.
“Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I WILL KILL HER CHILDREN WITH DEATH; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. 24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known THE DEPTHS OF SATAN, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.” Revelation 2:20-24
BEWARE OF THE AHABS (Revelation 2:20-24): Spineless moral coward men will say “the first people who witnessed the resurrected Christ were women.” Yeah, no one said women can’t share the gospel or be used in the gifts of the Spirit. Yet how is sharing the gospel are prophesying the same as a God ordained office and place of eldership and teaching the Bible in the church? It’s not. Lots of biblically illiterate dupes showing who they really are in this conversation. They do not hold God’s written Word as final divine authority and on that basis alone we know they are “NOT of God” according to Jesus (John 8:47; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17).
QUESTION:
“Brother, quick question… The Bible often speaks against Jezebel… My question is… why doesn’t the Bible likewise speak against Ahab for allowing Jezebel to dominate?”
REPLY:
Well it does…. Read Rev 2:20-24 closely and notice that Jesus is confronting the MEN for suffering/allowing jezebel. This is why we call these type men Ahab. Ahab allowed/suffered his wife Jezebel to rule, to function outside her God-ordained role and the devil wreaked havoc as a result. And the horrific fruit of this is spoken of by Jesus in this Revelation 2 passage, in His letter to the church at Thyatira. This is a life changing revelation.
Ahab was the husband of Jezebel! He was a sinful man who allowed his wife to manipulate and control him. A weak constitution, void of the life of Christ is the makings of a man like Ahab. Only the unrepentant have no conviction or strength in the truth. God says all moral cowards (“the fearful”) are hell bound (Revelation 21:8).
Do you know who Ahab was? He was Jezebel’s husband. She controlled him (1 Kings 21:25; 2 Kings 9:22). Jesus primarily condemned the weak moral coward Ahabs (men) in the church at Thyatira for allowing Jezebel to function. Are you getting familiar with Revelation 2:20-24? If not, you will not see the full severity of allowing any woman to function outside of her divinely ordained order. Elders in Christ’s body are men, only men, never a woman (1 Timothy 2:11-12; 3:2). This is God’s non-negotiable order and it’s for her protection and the protection of those who would be victimized by a woman in an eldership position. Read and meditate upon Jesus’ words concerning the weak men who allowed “that woman Jezebel” to function (Revelation 2:20-24).
“Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest (allow) that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.” Revelation 2:20
Today’s Ahab’s are jezebel enablers! (Revelation 2:20-24) Jesus will condemn! Instead of standing on God’s Word, they acquiesce sentimentally to the woman’s fallen nature and her desire to rule over the man (Genesis 3:16). Beware of such deceivers.
BEWARE OF TODAY’S AHABS
A woman preaching to men?
No.
Since preaching and teaching the Bible to the body of Christ at large is specifically ordained for men to do, for a woman to be allowed to do such is usurping – which means she is acting outside of her God-ordained role. This passage below must be attended to with all diligence.
“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” 1 Timothy 2:11-12
To “USURP authority over the man” is rebellion to God, to His stated order in His kingdom. Jesus gave these eldership “gifts unto MEN”, not women (Ephesians 4:8-12).
Sharing, communicating God’s Word among the brethren yes but never arguing, preaching to, overtly correcting, or taking the position of an elder which is reserved exclusively for men (1 Timothy 2:12; 3:2). Observing the severe threat of Jesus when He spoke specifically to the MEN at Thyatira tells us much about the Ahabish MEN today who are telling and enabling women to preach to men in today’s modern church (Revelation 2:20-24).
GOD’s men must never allow women to lead where they are called to lead (1 Timothy 2:12; 3:2; Revelation 2:20-24).
To put ones self under the ministry of a woman who is acting as an elder among God’s people, is to defy Christ, and to agree with His arch enemy and his jezebels and to bring severe destruction on the people of God (1 Timothy 2:12; 3:2; Revelation 2:20-24).
Beware of the half-baked spineless moral cowards who enable and defend jezebel! By doing so they shake their fists in the face of the LORD Jesus Christ (Revelation 2:20-24).
The reason such counterfeits – weak moral coward men/ahabs – have no conviction or holy fear of God is because their own personal lives are compromised in sin (2 Chronicles 12:14). They are therefore moral cowards due to not being real and right with God – who would otherwise give them His holy boldness, conviction, fear, and strength.
“SUBMIT yourselves therefore to God” (James 4:7) – Are we submitted to God as Christ’s disciple? Are we submitted to God in His role as a man, as a woman? Roles.
Jezebels know who they can manipulate/control and who they can’t! They know when they’ve hit a brick wall when they encounter a man to truly fears and walks with God – and therefore will not be manipulated (Eccl 7:26). Elijah. Like a shark that smells blood and hastens to capitalize on its prey, so the jezebel is skilled at knowing where men are vulnerable! Beware.
No man of God allows the women around him to operate outside of the God-ordained role of the woman! (1 Timothy 2:11-12) This was the very sin of the Ahabs in Thyatira! (Revelation 2:20-24)
As is the case when Jesus castigated the men in the church at Thyatira, Ahab men are manifested – brought into the light out of darkness – when jezebel is exposed! These sinful, compromised moral cowards come to the aid of their counterpart rebel – jezebel! Beware!
True men of God speak the truth and stand on the truth – no matter what.
Ultimately Ahab’s and the Jezebels they enable are not rebelling against men (males) but rather God!
Listen to what Paul spoke to a deceiver:
“Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, 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?” Acts 13:9-10
Many today want to redefine what a man is to be by their own sinful heart imaginations (false images). The word “gentleman” or “gentlemen” never once appear in Scripture. A man of God, as defined by God, is one who will and does serve the LORD according to His Word … true love – Read Proverbs 27:5-6.
“Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Proverbs 27:5-6.
The jezebel doctrine and spirit want to quiet and condemn truth-speakers! They are of the devil!
Grasp this revealing picture, this illustration:
“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
The devil takes over when we disobey God. When a woman is put into a place of undue authority that she’s not fit to be in, then the enemy comes in through that disobedience – that is, by 1) men not doing what called them to do to servant lead, and 2) when men ignore the Scriptural mandate and allow any woman to fulfill a calling or assume a position of leadership forbidden by God for her role (teaching or usurping authority over men).
“But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.” 1 Timothy 2:12
Remember, Psalm 17:4 says, “By the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.“
See, it’s through obeying God, through the Word of His lips, obeying what God said in his Word, which he uttered, and gave us in written form that we keep ourselves from the paths of the destroyer. I’ve seen so many church environments where the enemy has come in through men who are Ahabs, moral pansies. They’re moral cowards. They do not fear God, and they’ll let women usurp authority over men, and teach them in an authoritative, dominating way, and then comes the devil, and he will “kill her children with death,” Jesus said and those people will experience “the depths of Satan.” (Revelation 2:20-24) That Jezebel comes right on in when weak, Ahabish men abdicate (hand over) their calling to lead over to women and “sufferest” or allow Jezebel (Revelation 2:20-24). If you find yourself in an environment like where a women is allowed to teach or usurp authority over men, I encourage you to flee immediately (1 Timothy 2:9-14). Don’t question it. Just obey God and get out of there.
WHERE are the men who will stand and speak the truth-no matter what?!
The Ahab spirit per se is simply what we classify as a weak-minded, weak-hearted man who is not truly serving Christ although he has a mere “form of godliness.” (2 Timothy 3:5) If he were serving Christ instead of the self-life, he would be infused with divine power and be standing up, speaking the truth, and operating as the head of his home in all meekness and godly wisdom, fearing God knowing he will one day give full account before His Majesty.
Lemuel’s mother taught him: “Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.” Proverbs 31:3
YOU be the man. Study and know what God has made you for and requires of you as a man who is the servant of Christ.

A Jezebel cannot and will not function where there is a true man of God. Godly men men who refuse to be moved off of truth are the rage, the sworn enemies of jezebels! (Revelation 2:20-24)
The lack of God’s strength in men facilitates, allows, suffers jezebel….. jezebels are no match for God’s power in a crucified man as is seen in the ultimate victory of Elijah over the original jezebel witch 1 Kings 18 amen Jesus!
Here’s a commentary someone wrote on Ahab:
“The Ahab spirit causes a man to be wishy-washy and unstable in all his ways. King Ahab was efficient and strong in manipulative and administrative powers. He was weak and vacillating in the face of his powerful wife, Jezebel. He gave his authority, as king, to his wife and even when she abused it, he remained passive, voiding confrontation, and let her have her own way.
The wife receives the Head position of the home because the Ahab husband doesn’t want it, it takes too much energy. Most people do not realize that if a home is out of order God will allow it to come under a curse. Too many fathers, through rebellion and lust, have not lived a godly example to their wife and children. The end result of this neglect opens the door for rebellious spirits to enter the wife and children. Too many men fail to provide spiritual leadership in their homes and then, too often, the spirit of Jezebel surfaces in the wife causing the wife to be forced into headship of the home which is totally demonic. This is a very serious part of the Ahab spirit at work.”
“The fall of mankind occurred as a result of the woman leading, and the man following. This is the exact opposite of God’s non-negotiable order. As we see in the church at Thyatira, when men allow women to lead there will be chaos every time.” Jeni
Prayer for men by sister Verna D.
“Most Ahab’s Are Cowards and Need Jezebel To Empower Them Because They Are Too Fearful To Stand Alone With God And Too Fearful To Stand Against Jezebel!
A Weak Coward Man Is No Match For Jezebel And He Knows This And Will Willingly Submit To Her Power And Authority Over Him Which Is Demonic! What Is Sad is when a Man Really Wants To Come Out But Doesn’t Know Or Understand The Power Of God Over This Or How To Stand Up! I Pray God Empowers The Men That Are Willing And Desire To Stand That They Will Conquer This Evil Spirit And Territory By The Power Of Christ Jesus And That God Will Give Them The Faith, Strength And Determination To Overcome It All In Jesus Name……”

The Danger of Joining a Modern Church [podcast]

Fruit. Fruit. Fruit.
“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.” Matthew 12:33
Speaking of the pattern of one’s life, Jesus taught that a good tree cannot bear bad fruit. A bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know (discern) them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 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.” Matthew 7:15-20
Jesus commanded His people to “know” which is to discern all “by their fruits”—to be fruit inspectors—first in their own lives and then in all others (1 Corinthians 11:31-32; 2 Corinthians 13:5).
Personally, I fail to find anywhere that Jesus or His apostles instructed any saints to “go find a local church and plug in.” Hebrews 10:25 is peddled by pastors today who seek a loyal following instead of seeking to fulfill their God-given duties to establish their hearers in the faith, to ground them in God’s Word, to equip them for the work of the ministry, etc.
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25
Read that again please. Does it say to find a church? No. Those who are born again ARE already God’s “church” which simply means His called out people. More biblically, should we not simply be His church—His people, daily? This seems to be the pattern we see among the earliest followers of Jesus (Acts 2:42-47; 5:42; Colossians 3:16, etc.).
The authentic remnant elect of Christ do not patronize or bid Godspeed to false leaders (2 John 9-11; Revelation 2:2).
Refusing to sit under, condone, bid Godspeed to the false gospel, false doctrines, false teachers and wolves of the modern church … is not forsaking the assembly! Instead, it’s obedience to God who mandates that we “mark them,” that we “earnestly contend” against them, and warns us that anyone who bids Godspeed to them will be punished with them (Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3; 2 John 10-11).
If you are prone to cite Hebrews 10:25 to advocate for going to church weekly, consider where you learned that. In churches, right? Funny you probably don’t even have 10 Bible verses memorized and yet, to the benefit of the pastor, you know that one. What does this tell us? What does this reveal? What’s wrong with this picture?
What happens when people get loyal to a local church especially in this late hour where great apostasy was foretold? Here are a few obvious things that happen when someone “joins a church.”
- Most people who join churches today are not even born again, are not told they must repent and believe on Jesus to be born again. They become proud of their pastor and friends at that gathering (Zechariah 11:17).
- Church members are not learning the Word of God itself because they are simply being led by a wolf who is fostering their allegiance toward himself, not Christ (Colossians 2:8-10, 18-19; 3:1-4).
- They are not becoming soul winners (Proverbs 11:30; Luke 19:10).
- Attenders of modern churches are seldom if ever taught, established with personal knowledge of the Scriptures, the paramount truth that God’s Word itself is the final divine authority on all matters of the Christian faith and the practice of it (Deuteronomy 4:10; Psalms 119; 138:2; Isaiah 40:8; Mark 13:31; John 10:35; Romans 3:4; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21).
- The Bible message, warning to “love not the world” is seldom or never heard. Those who live worldly are separated from God (James 4:4; 1 John 2:15-17).
- Fake pastor do not teach people to get into God’s Word for themselves and so church attenders today are not in the Word daily for themselves which is by satanic design and therefore have no biblical foundation (Psalms 11:3; Matthew 7:19-29; 2 Timothy 2:15).
- When do we hear in modern churches that Jesus Christ is the Grand Subject of all of Holy Scripture? We don’t (Psalms 40:7-8; Luke 24:25-27, 44-46; John 5:39-40; 2 Peter 1:19-21).
- They are never taught the value God places upon good works in those He saves by His grace (Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 1:16; 3:8; 1 John 2:4).
- The Great Commission Jesus gave to His people is never mentioned and when it is, they’ve turned it into just another way of promoting themselves, their own brand, ministry (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 24:47; Book of Acts).
- They are not being equipped “for the work of the ministry” which is the duty being carried out by every authentic overseer of Christ’s church (Ephesians 4:11-12; 1 Peter 5:1-6).
- Never taught in the modern churches is the fact that God holds each person He saves personally responsible, personally accountable for following Jesus daily (Deuteronomy 24:16; Joshua 24:14-15; Luke 21:34-36; 2 Timothy 2:15; Hebrews 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39; 12:14; Revelation 2-3, etc.).
- Modern day church members are not in the Word for themselves and the pastors have led them to this biblical illiteracy because they are building a church busine$$ and dumb people are easy prey/targets to rob (Isaiah 9:16; 56:8-12; Jeremiah 23; Ezekiel 34; Matthew 23; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; 2 Timothy 4:2-4, etc.).
- Church goers are barely or never heard the essential cross message which Jesus requires to follow Him (Matthew 16:24-25; Luke 9:23-24; Romans 6; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; Colossians 3:3, etc.).
- They are never warned of going to hell if they die in sin (Ezekiel 33:12-13; Matthew 10:22; 24:13; Hebrews 3:6; 10:26-39; Revelation 21:8, 27).
- They are never taught that God is “Holy, holy, holy” and that He requires that those who are His be holy as He is holy (Isaiah 6:3; 1 Peter 1:15-16; Revelation 4:8).
- Those who attend a church are never informed that only those who overcome sin and Satan will be with Jesus eternally which is exactly what Christ told each and every one of the seven churches of Asia minor (Revelation 2-3).
- They are never taught that saving grace without exception results in the saved living according to the Scripture: “Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; (Titus 2:11-12).
- Members are taught the demonic lie of eternal security/once saved always saved , which is Satan’s first teaching and irrefutably led to the fall of mankind in the Garden (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).
- The mountains of warnings in Scripture are intentionally hidden from the congregational dupes who are willingly biblically ignorant, having rejected the knowledge/Word of God (Ezekiel 3:7; Hosea 4:6; 2 Corinthians 5:11; Colossians 1:28; Jude 3-4, etc.).
- Most church members are not taught that only those who remain in Christ after being saved will be with Him eternally (Matthew 25:1-13; John 15:6; Romans 11:20-22, etc.).
- Modern church attenders are seldom if ever warned to come out from this sinful world in the way they live (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1).
- They are lukewarm which means hell bound if they don’t repent (Luke 3:15-16).
- The original Gospel essential, the command to “repent” is never heard, even though it was the very first word spoken by John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostle Peter in their ministries (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30).
- Modern church members are merely a participant of a “Christian” social club seen nowhere in Scripture (Cp. Acts 2:42-47).
- Their loyalty and allegiance is toward the pastor, singing group, and fellow congregants (Proverbs 21:16).
- They are never taken through the volumes of Holy Scripture where God judged His very own people who backslid (Numbers 16; 25; Romans 11:20-22; 1 Corinthians 10:1-12; Hebrews 3-4; Jude 1).
- Church members are taught to become dependent on their church affiliation, connection, and attendance and not the LORD (Matthew 15:8).
- They are not daily seeking the face of the LORD (1 Chronicles 16:11; Psalms 27:4, 8; 57:7; 63:8; Matthew 6:33; Luke 9:23-24).
- Seminarian led church members are seldom if ever taught that for eternal glory with Him Jesus requires the decisive cutting off of the hand and plucking out of the eye of any sin that defiles them in the eyes of a holy God (Mark 9:43-49).
- When the Bible is literally read, 99% of the time it’s from a vatican corrupted fake “bible.”
- Most are barely if at all different from any lost soul around them in their daily life (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).
- Due to their own refusal to truly repent and walk with Jesus daily, they were sent strong delusion, are in darkness and deception, and therefore “remain in the congregation of the dead” (Proverbs 21:16).
“God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.” Psalms 89:7

The words “leader” and “leaders” appear 6 times (total) in God’s Word. It is always to be in context of servant leading (Matthew 20:20-28; 23:8-12; 1 Peter 5:1-6). In the following and most popular times “leaders” is used, it’s in the negative, as in false “leaders.”
“For the LEADERS of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” Isaiah 9:16
“Let them alone: they be blind LEADERS of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” Matthew 15:14
They love their darkness rather than the light of His truth and therefore craft, they erect the image of a false god in their wicked unrepentant hearts.
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
“Jeremiah 7. The people were wicked and evil, placing their trust in the temple, instead of God, and believing their religious activities would be pleasing to the Lord. But they were committing all kinds of sins, deluding themselves into thinking that they were secure. God said, I will cast you out of my sight! And instructed Jeremiah not to pray for them. They refused to obey the Lord God nor receive correction, and the truth had perished, so God said, I will cut them off from my mouth! Wow! Isn’t this exactly what we are seeing in this late hour? There comes a time when the Lord has had enough and cuts them off! And judgment falls upon those who don’t want the truth.” Karen Cochran

Jesus Conquered Sin, Satan, and Death by Dying [podcast]

“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:14-15
Through death Jesus conquered sin, death, and Satan and made His people free, washing away their sins in His precious blood and putting His Holy Spirit in them, empowering them to live fruit-filled victorious lives to His eternal glory!
Christ’s resurrection guarantees our resurrection – both now and for eternnity. Those raised up with Christ now are those who are crucified with Him. This is His holy “remnant.” (Isaiah 37:31; Romans 8:11; 1 Corinthians 15, etc.).
Jesus conquered sin and death (separation) by dying on His cross. Because of this, we need never live outside of an abiding relationship with Christ. His grace is sufficient to provide everything He died to purchase for us – and all these blessings are appropriated via our faith, our abiding in Him (John 15; Romans 6:14; 2 Corinthians 12:9-10; Hebrews 4:14-16; 7:24-26, etc.).
In order to be raised up, to walk in His resurrection power and grace, we must first be dead and buried with Christ.
“For he that is dead is freed from sin.” Romans 6:7
***ALL Heaven’s going to break out when this hits you in the heart, when your heart perceives this cross economy divine revelation.
Finishing Strong mean Finishing Crucified and Resurrected
HOW will you finish? It’s really how you finish that matters most! (2 Timothy 4:7-8) Finish strong beloved – lay down your life, death and burial, so that the strength of your life is Christ’s resurrection grace! (See 2 Corinthians 12:9-10) Go down deep.
“And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:” Isaiah 37:31
Read the verse above again, looking for the death, the burial, and raising up!
The context Isaiah 37:31 concerns Assyria seeking to seize Judah and yet out of that evil attempt to conquer God’s people came a “remnant.” Yet it’s those who submitted to the LORD in death, those who took root downward (death and burial) who were reciprocally raised up out of that snare and destruction. Resurrection grace wins every time, with no exception! The cross is the divine prescription for absolute victory in every situation.
God counteracts death by the promise of resurrection – now and in eternity! (1 Corinthians 15; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12).
“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12
The depth you allow God to bury you determines the height of His resurrection, His raising up in your life! (See 2 Corinthians 4:10-12)
“Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge. 18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. 19 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. 20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, 21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?” Proverbs 22:17-21
“Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.” 1 Peter 4:1-2
“And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.” 1 John 3:5-6
“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
