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.

Total KJV occurrences: 243

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……”

God-Fearing Manhood Jezebel – she was Ahab’s evil wife.

Mission Mexico Part 48

THE NEXT 20,000 JESUS TRACTS ARE NOW BEING PRINTED!

Money for the next 20,000 JESUS tracts as come in!

“On it’s way via Paypal. Happy to be able to help supply those, and that you have provided a way and members of our family to distribute them…so, can I say also: GONE FISHING for the Lord.

As I am no longer physically able to go fishing in person, thank you for finding and equipping those who are. As we all work together in THE FAMILY OF GOD, for the final round-up. Praying for a huge round-up, and that each and every tract sends the Holy Spirit right into their hearts and souls. Bless you Brother Todd.

I always loved Acts 16:31 – Then I pray that those who were touched, then spread it to their families and friends, so that “You and your household may be saved.” Crystal


Below is one picture and part of the ministry of beloved brother Jaime and his 2 sons who are pastor. They live near Mexico City. More coming on their ministering, which we are now blessed to serve, support.

As “labourers TOGETHER with God“, saints “WE” are now supporting pastor Jaime’s ministry work in another part of Mexico.

Your prayers and support are the fuel. “Ask and ye shall receive…” Matthew 7:7

God is good. | Mission Mexico

Brother Mark was miraculously, by divine appointment approached by this beloved brother – Jaime and his wife Luisa who were in town celebrating their wedding anniversary. Brother Jaime is a pastor and their whole family serves our LORD. Their 2 sons who are pastors also. This couple was having a Bible study when they met Mark. They loved the JESUS tract and so brother Mark called me and I brought over nearly a whole box of them to this beloved couple (appr 1200). Jaime and Luisa were thrilled and it looks like this may be another case where we are blessed to support the LORD’s people in doing His work!!!! They were intent on staying connected and so we exchanged contact information. God is moving saints.

Jaime, Luisa, and there 2 sons live in a city outside of Mexico City. The Gospel of Jesus is spreading all over Mexico! They have a church and also a ministry outreach to the broken!

“So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.” Acts 19:20


Genuine Gospel, Great Commission ministries give the members of the body of Christ the opportunity to obey Jesus by laying up treasure in Heaven (Matthew 6:19-21).

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:19-21

Notice in this passage that Jesus commanded His people to lay up treasure, in Heaven, not on earth.


Would you like to pause and lift Saul in prayer?


Concerning the love offering that came in to print the new batch of 20k JESUS tracts….

“My heart is filled with some much joy that you will be ordering these Jesus tracts. God is so very good! I am praising God for this sister in Christ and her love for Jesus! We are team Jesus! And for the Mexican people’s humble and meek spirits to be so open to the gospel that can save their soul from hell! Look up for our redemption draws near! Very soon we will see our Savior face to face!” Karen Cochran

“Glory to God brother! What wonderful news to hear that support and supply has been furnished by the Lord Jesus Christ through his disciples and blood bought people 🙏 who love the LORD 💞” Jon Crane


Saints, we’re not going to beg or try to manipulate anyone but rather just give out of what we have – and that Gospel fuel comes from Heaven via Christ’s saints …. to the poor and needy, who need God’s love and Word and in some cases, something to eat and a cold water, etc

No doubt that it’s easy to declare on social media that we love and stand for our LORD. And every disciple should! Yet who are we proclaiming Christ to, today, in our real life? Who are we tract-ing? Who’s hearing the Gospel of Jesus through us?

“He that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30


I wonder what Jesus would do in the life that looks up to Heaven today by faith and says “Please prepare and send me dear LORD Jesus! Let’s roll Jesus!”


Brother Juan, an elder in Christ, continues daily ministering our LORD’s Gospel, meeting and exhorting, feeding, and sending forth more Gospel laborers for Christ (Matthew 9:35-38; Ephesians 4:11-12). We are super blessed saints, to support our brother Juan and a growing list of Christ’s disciples here in Mexico. Here’s another one. Brother Alejandro. Juan writes: ‘Praying for my brother Alejandro; he wants to serve God and others. Amen.'” Juan the Evangelist

Mission Mexico


“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 24:14


Here’s our brother Juan speaking in this video below:


Recently, brother Mark told me that he never feels more at peace than when he is spreading our LORD’s Gospel, handing out Gospel tracts and communicating with people that Jesus died for their sins ….

Our LORD is using each of His beloved saints, daily, and for His eternal glory.

And it’s just begun.

The LORD is perfecting that which concerns your life in Him.

“The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.” Psalms 138:8


“Praise Jesus for the word of God growing in the hearts of the people. Daniel 12:3. You guys are God’s shining stars who bring the gospel of hope to the people. Praying!” Karen Cochran


A few days ago, sister Maria called to let me know she was out of JESUS tracts and so I was blessed delivered another 2,000 JESUS tracts to her.

41,000 in print and over 35,000 distributed thus far in Mexico. Getting ready to be 61,000 JESUS tracts in print. Hundreds going out daily.


Brother Juan ministers all day long as he travels between towns and interacts with numerous people…. every day. Christ’s Gospel message flows from this brother like a river. He also ministers to hundreds at a local jail/prison. Thank you for lifting our brother in prayer and for considering supporting. Jesus is coming saints. Let’s roll. Recently brother Mark delivered another box of 2,000 JESUS tracts to Juan.

We are boots on the ground supporting our LORD’s saints, Gospel laborers, here in Mexico (Matthew 9:35-38). Your prayers and support are the fuel of Heaven (Philippians 1:19).

See more Gospel action here at Mission Mexico




LAST WEEK: I answered the knock at my door today and there were appr. 10-12 well dressed (uniforms) health care canvassers going through this neighborhood. Each of them readily received the spoken Word and JESUS tracts. Absolute success in sowing the message of our LORD Jesus’ Gospel. 100% reception. God is good.

As usual, here in Mexico, there was complete desire to hear the words of Jesus and no negative resistance whatsoever. These beloved souls eagerly listened and heard (in Spanish) Jesus’ Gospel preached …. that hell is forever, that Jesus died for our sins, and to please repent and receive Jesus Christ today…. all while pointing to the prayer of repentance and faith on the back of the JESUS tract. God is good yes.

God’s people are obediently and with His love and great joy planting the seed of His Word in the hearts of men today. 1 Peter 1:23; Isaiah 55:11; 1 Corinthians 3:6-9

Your prayers coveted for the fruitfulness and supply of this ministry outreach. “We preach Christ crucified.” (1 Corinthians 1:23)




Would you like to pause and lift a prayer for a young man named Gonzo? He’s seen the fruit of the Holy Spirit in several of Christ’s saints here and is wanting to get right with God.

America is Under Divine Judgment [podcast]


Chasing the American dream all the way to hell? Are you bowing before your Maker who came and died to save you from sin and this world? Or, are you bowing before “old glory”, “the red, white, and blue”?

“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:” Revelation 3:17

Every person reading these very words is making his eternal bed in Heaven or in hell.

“Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.” Joel 3:14

“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” Romans 6:16

Those bowed truly before Christ and no idol, are about His “business” which is the Great Commission He gave us! Oh, and He holds you fully accountable to obey, to do it. Read the very end of Matthew and Mark.

If you are not deliberately, integrally involved in the Great Commission mandate Jesus gave His people, you are out of the will of God.

Evangelism! (Mark 16:15-20) Teaching God’s Word (Matthew 28:18-20).

AMERICA’S ENEMY INVASION

In the Bible, we read of how God allowed foreign empires like the Assyrians and Babylonians to invade, conquer, and exile Israel and Judah as a form of divine discipline and covenant judgment for their persistent idolatry, social injustice, and refusal to repent.

One source notes:

“The Theological Framework of Judgment

    • The Covenant: God made a conditional agreement (covenant) with ancient Israel. Obedience brought protection and blessing; disobedience brought explicit warnings of national defeat and dispersion (e.g., Deuteronomy 28).
    • Using Foreign Nations: Prophets like Isaiah and Habakkuk explain that God sovereignly used ruthless empires (calling Assyria the “rod of my anger”) as instruments of correction against His own unfaithful people.
    • The Limits of Judgment: While God used these empires to punish Israel, the Bible notes He also held those invading nations accountable for their own extreme cruelty, arrogance, and subsequent destruction (e.g., Isaiah 10, Jeremiah 50–51).”

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY NATION THAT FORSAKES GOD. – “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” (Psalms 9:17) America is under divine judgment. See Jeremiah 18.

“The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17  The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalms 9:16-17

“At what instant” (marked space in time)

It seems God has His timing in judging nations and history records…..

It is more than obvious that America is not repenting. If that’s the case, what future does America have?

Jeremiah 18:7-10

At what instant (marked place in time) I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.”

How does He judge?

Does He not lift His hand of protection and allow invaders? Read Jeremiah 5-7. This morning as I begin again reading these 3 chapters, what’s happening in America seems to fit for sure. And no president can save America from the LORD judgment. The only hope would be the true repentance of the people.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY NATION THAT FORSAKES GOD. – “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” (Psalms 9:17) America is under divine judgment. See Jeremiah 18.

What Bible verse or passage comes to your mind when you think of being possessed by an eternal perspective? How about this one?

“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

PRAYER: My Father in Heaven, in the name of Jesus, please imbue this Your vessel with the eternal perspective Your Word communicates. Bless me to be a consummate soul winning, with my hands gripping the plow of Your Great Commission command. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

“Why would we put our hope in a country that belongs to our arch enemy? (2 Cor 4:4). As scripture clearly tells us this earth will vanish like smoke (Is 51:6). We are looking for a new heaven and new earth! Rev 21. Where God will dwell among us! We will be His people and drink from the fountain of life forever and ever! That is my hope! Not this wicked fallen world!” Karen Cochran

A Word of Encouragement on Ministering to Others

“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” 1 Peter 1:23

It’s God’s Word, the “incorruptible seed” of the truth of God that shatters that which stands between Him and sinners. Listen closely and grasp these divinely inspired Word through the prophet Jeremiah:

“Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29

The rock of unbelief is broken by the words of God entering the hearts of men. The light of divine truth pierces the darkness:

“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130

When the very words of God enter the human heart, by its nature – light – darkness is exposed for what it is.

“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” Psalms 19:7

YOUR PRAYER: Father, please make me a consummate soul winner, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Many times, due to a lack of the cross in our lives, are we not rather in the flesh instead of the Spirit and therefore do we not attempt to force or coerce the truth of God on others?

“Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6

EVER BEEN THERE? There are times when we are to “earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints” and other times when the enemy is trying to get us to take the bait, to bite on something minor and not be quiet, listen, and meekly minister the Word and love of God (Jude 3-4; Ephesians 4:15; 2 Timothy 2:24-26). May God bless each of His children to be led by His Holy Spirit in each instant and glorify Him, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Preaching AT someone and ministering TO someone are mutually exclusive. Are we preaching in our own self-righteous wrath and don’t yet realize it? The words of James are stinging and should be memorized:

“For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” James 1:20

May God fill us with His love and bless each of us to edify (build up) the members of His body.

Both rebuking and ministering are certainly Scriptural and yet, personally, I can look back in regret and see that when God wanting me MINISTERING TO someone, I was instead preaching AT the intended target/person. They are not a target but an eternal soul heading to Heaven or hell. And at times, God will mercifully lead His people to send forth a strong rebuke in order to turn the sinner to Himself.

There are many instances in Scripture where unrepentant rebels are dealt a hard blow with strong preaching, strong rebuke – the call to repent (Matthew 23; Acts 13:10; Revelation 3:19, etc.).

I wonder if it would help up today if we paused to consider the process that transpired in our own lives. Though salvation is instantaneously imparted upon repentance, it most likely took a few people sowing the seed of God’s Word in our hearts before we repented and received Christ, right? Is that what happened in your life? It sure is in mine. I didn’t stop and get saved the first time some bless-ed disciple ministered to me. Did you?

When we put a seed in the ground to get a crop, it has to first be planted and then it begins to germinate, right? Then comes the crop and the fruit. This is a process and Paul speaks of it when he writes:

“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-9

Here below is a passage the LORD quickens my heart to pour prayerfully over on a regular basis:

“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

PEOPLE go public about a lot of things. It’s time for God’s people to GO PUBLIC about JESUS!

“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  

Like everything in Christ’s kingdom, nothing works outside of the cross – the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ happening in our lives daily.
