Stories of Fascinating Deliverances, Attacks, and Much More

SO, if JESUS addressed ahab and jezebel and the horrible effects of allowing a woman to lead His church, should we not talk about it? (Revelation 2:20-24) How is discussing something clearly addressed in the BIBLE causing division? Simple: By divine design, truth only causes division between those who love it and those who reject it! (Matthew 10:34; John 8:47)

When this topic is discussed, one can notice exactly who it is that doesn’t want this discussed, and call it un-edifying and divisive. It’s those who are in violation of this truth who hate the light of truth shining on their own darkness (John 3:19-21).

Lots of people who are called out for their darkness and disobedience to the Word of God want to claim they are being “led by the Holy Spirit.” Basically, they are saying that they are not accountable to obey God’s Word because they are led by the Spirit. Well, we know they are being led by a spirit but it’s not the Holy Spirit of truth (John 14:26; 16:13-14, etc.). This is their way of smoke screening their own rebellion, their own lawless hearts against the LORD. The Holy Spirit only dwells in those who obey Jesus, obey the Word of God and the Holy Ghost will never contradict His own Word where He clearly sets the roles for men and women. God doesn’t use anyone, including a donkey to cast doubt on or deny His truth written in His Word.

LOTS OF PEOPLE CLAIMING TO BE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT: Jesus anoints His people with His Holy Ghost to put to death the deeds of the body! (Romans 8:13-14) If you are truly full of and led by the Holy Spirit, you are denying yourself, taking up the cross daily, and authentically following Him (Luke 9:23-24, etc.).

Duane Stewart writes: “Jezebel does not like this biblical message that exposes her! It exposes her. Real GODLY women are so content and seek to operate in their creation roles. God has different roles for men and women, but He loves them the same. But that’s not enough for Jezebel. She always wants more, just like Eve did…….Genesis 3:6 says: ‘And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.'”

“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

HOW do we “try (test) the spirits”? (1 John 4:1) Simple: judge it against the written Word! (Acts 17:10-11)

Can you also tell us where even 1 women is seen as an elder over God’s people in the 27 books of the New Testament Scriptures?

These are some of the treacherous afflictions suffered when confronting this evil spirit that has possessed many today and is wreaking havoc (Revelation 2:20-24). And this pertains to the weak, moral coward men who allow (suffer) women to operate in a role of leadership God forbids (1 Timothy 2:12). Did Jesus not liken this jezebel and enabling ahab phenomenon to the very “depths of SATAN”? (Revelation 2:24)  ONE of the things that makes Jezebel so seductive is that she will actually expose other false leaders. The fact that she exposes false teachers makes the game she’s running that much more seductive as she hides behind this feigned, supposed concern. Yet she herself is a lawless usurper and false. By exposing false leaders, the Jezebel is trying to appear to be the hero so she can set up her facade (cover, covert position) to operate from. Why would we be surprised since her father is the very master of deceit?

Jezebel can only function where there is one or more ahabs (Revelation 2:20-24).

Men failing to lead in no way justifies the sin of women elders. Jezebel. In fact, the men who failed to obey God in Thyatira allowed women to lead and it brought untold destruction to all. That’s what JESUS said. Revelation 2:20-24. Repent.

“I’ve never heard preaching about the Jezebel characteristics at Church!! ..thank God I know about the Jezebel spirit from my Bible study I go to!! the truth is heard and taught there! I was told alot of Preachers don’t Preach the truth because the members would chew them out! I believe if this post was preached in MOST Churches today…it would cause a storm!! and you’d see alot of empty pews!! I am so thankful for you Todd!! we need to hear the truth and you have no fear!!…this post is spot on!!” Gina Mondello

JEZEBELS will claim that those men who confront them “have a problem with women.” No! Jezebels have a problem with God and men! They are lawless, out of order, rebels. Jezebel, it’s an epidemic!

IF THE JEZEBELS DON’T HATE YOU YET, you haven’t yet penetrated too deep into the enemy’s camp. Keep plowing saints! And when you get persecuted and slandered and attacked by these wicked wolves, rejoice!

WOULD GOD LEAD A WOMAN TO CORRECT A MAN? There should be no question after reading this Bible verse. Women are not to teach NOR usurp authority over the man. There’s a stated order in God’s creation and in the Word for the family and the gatherings of the saints/church. The woman who argues doctrine with a man or seeks to rebuke/correct him is out of God’s order. Only a jezebel would dare so such while claiming to serve Jesus. There’s only 1 example of a woman ruling over men in the New Testament and it’s JEZEBEL! (Revelation 2:20-24; 1 Timothy 2:11-12)

ANY QUESTIONS? – “BUT I SUFFER NOT A WOMAN TO TEACH, NOR TO USURP AUTHORITY OVER THE MAN, BUT TO BE IN SILENCE.” 1 TIMOTHY 2:12

JEZEBELS ARE THOSE WOMEN WHO EVILLY (OUT OF AN EVIL HEART) DESIRE TO RULE OVER MEN AND THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO DO SO FROM GOD. SO, THEY SPEND ALL THEIR TIME AND ENERGY SEEKING TO SELF-ASSERT THEMSELVES OVER MEN AND IN PLACES OF AUTHORITY RESERVED ONLY FOR MEN (BY DIVINE ORDINATION). REMEMBER THAT JESUS ADDRESSED THIS EXACT THING SPECIFICALLY AND TOLD US THAT JEZEBELS ARE SELF-APPOINTED (REVELATION 2:20-24). IN OTHER WORDS THESE ARE WOMEN WHO APPOINT THEMSELVES. GOD DIDN’T APPOINT THEM TO PLACES OF AUTHORITY, ESPECIALLY OVER MEN (1 TIMOTHY 2:12). TRUE, GOD-FEARING WOMEN ARE HUMBLY SUBMITTED TO THEIR MAKER WHO CALLED THEM TO THE VERY HIGHEST, MOST EXALTED PLACE IN HIS KINGDOM – SERVANTS! (MATTHEW 23:11) …

ANY QUESTIONS? – “BUT I SUFFER NOT A WOMAN TO TEACH, NOR TO USURP AUTHORITY OVER THE MAN, BUT TO BE IN SILENCE.” 1 TIMOTHY 2:12

AS HIS CREATION, WE MUST ABIDE EXACTLY WHERE HE HAS ORDAINED AND STATED WE ARE TO ABIDE AND IF WE DO OTHERWISE, WE REBEL AGAINST HIM BEFORE WHOM WE SHALL STAND TO GIVE FULL ACCOUNT.

—- I DON’T MEAN TO BE RUDE, SAINTS, BUT IF JEZEBELS AND THEIR ENABLING AHABS DON’T HATE AND LASH OUT AT YOU, YOU’RE STILL A POWDER PUFF SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING. YOU ARE DOING LITTLE OR NO DAMAGE TO THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS. WHEN YOU BEGIN TO, YOU WILL KNOW IT BECAUSE THESE VILE DEVILS, WORKING THROUGH JEZEBELS WILL SEEK TO UNLEASH THE WRATH OF HELL UPON YOU. THEY ARE BASICALLY JUST SATANISTS OPERATING UNDER THE COVER OF “MINISTERS” FOR CHRIST. THIS IS EXACTLY AND SPECIFICALLY WHAT PAUL WARNED US ABOUT IN 2 CORINTHIANS 11:12-15. AGAIN, NO OFFENSE MEANT. COME ON IN, THE WATER’S FINE! … I’VE GOTTEN USED TO THE UNDILUTED, DIABOLICAL HATRED COMING AT ME FROM JEZEBELS AND THE AHAB PANSIES WHO DEFEND AND ENABLE THEM  …. MAN THEY HATE ME AND I’D REALLY BE WORRIED ABOUT WHERE I STOOD WITH GOD IF THEY DIDN’T BECAUSE JESUS SAYS: “WOE UNTO YOU, WHEN ALL MEN SHALL SPEAK WELL OF YOU! FOR SO DID THEIR FATHERS TO THE FALSE PROPHETS.” LUKE 6:26 …  1 KINGS 18:4 TELLS US THAT “JEZEBEL CUT OFF (CASTRATED, EMASCULATED) THE PROPHETS OF THE LORD,” NOTHING HAS CHANGED: THESE EVIL SPIRITS WAR AGAINST THE TRUE SERVANTS OF THE LORD. THE ONLY REASON A JEZEBEL OR HER SISSY COUNTERPART AHAB WOULD SEEM TO BE GETTING ALONG WITH YOU IS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT OF THE TRUTH.

THE COMPLIMENTARY BLESSING OF THE MASCULINE AND THE FEMININE IS A BEAUTIFUL TAPESTRY THE LORD DESIGNED. JEZEBEL IS SIMPLY AN ANTICHRIST WHO WARS AGAINST GOD’S DESIGN – SEEKING TO PERVERT (INVERT AND SUBVERT) IT (ISAIAH 5:20-24). WHY WOULD THIS BE A SURPRISE IN THAT JESUS TOLD US THAT SATAN HAS COME “TO STEAL, TO KILL, AND TO DESTROY”? (JOHN 10:10)

ONLY those who are in obedience to the truth are under divine protection! ALL others are at the “mercy” of he who has come to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).

How many times is the word “Jezebel” found in God’s Word? Jezebel appears 23 times in the King James Bible.

Does the word “Jezebel” appear in the New Testament? If so, what is the context and teaching to be derived?

What is “Jezebel” referring to when mentioned in the Bible?

Who is “Jezebel” referring to when mentioned in the Bible? Is it an individual of old or could it also refer to others of like characteristics?

Is it incorrect to use the phrase “spirit of Jezebel”?

I said there is a spirit behind that rebellion; yes, which is biblical perspective …. Jesus told Peter to “get thee behind me SATAN” … right? Matt 16

Those who rebel have demons come upon them … demon spirits …. ANY woman seeking to act outside of God’s role for women has evil spirits on her.

Is it incorrect to use the term “spirit of Jezebel?”

“And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.” 2 Kings 2:15

The reason “The spirit of Elijah” was seen in the life of Elisha is due to the same blessed Holy Spirit and good fruit that existed in the life of Elijah and now abode in Elisha.

Because he would possess some of the same calling and characteristics of the prophet Elijah, it was said of John the Baptist that he would go before Christ and be “in the spirit and power of Elias.” So, the same Holy Spirit that dwelt in Elijah was to dwell in John the Baptist. … “And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” Luke 1:17

The use of the words “spirit of” seems to indicate what spirit is in control of that person’s life or what spirit is operating in them. The fruit of that person’s life will always point to the answer – will always give you that answer.

So, if a person exhibits the same characteristics of Jezebel of old, then saying they have “the spirit of Jezebel” seems appropriate in my opinion.

HERE’S WHAT TYPE PEOPLE HAVE RESPONDED TO THE BIBLICAL TEACHING OF JEZEBEL:

  1. God fearing women who agree with God’s Word, allowing the Holy Scriptures to be true and every man, woman, and devil a liar (Romans 3:4).
  2. Women who still have jezebellic tendencies controlling their lives. These type women either a) hold in their anger and anguish, b) lash out at the messenger who dares to teach on this Bible topic, or c) repent and seek the LORD’s transformation and healing.
  3. Men who are Ahab and feel a sense of familiarity with this evil spirit that can most of the time be found operating through women. Perhaps they have compromised with that evil spirit that was or is working in their mother or wife or some other woman in their life. This is exactly what Ahab, Jezebel’s husband did.

Those who attack the messengers who expose this evil spirit are obviously oppressed or possessed by that devil. The fact that they viciously persecute the preachers who expose the demons that control their lives only further proves the truth of this matter. They have to cover for themselves and so throw out a smokescreen to mask the evil that still lurks in their own hearts. The fact that they viciously attack the messengers of this message only further reveals that they are under its power, and, the need to preach this part of God’s Word. The demon spirits that attach to and operate in and through these people have been given free reign and authority due to some entry point. That entry point is sin which we are all born in. Those who do not repent (surrender; lay down their lives) are outside of the kingdom of God. They are in the kingdom of darkness and dominated by the enemy of all souls. So, as we see repeatedly in Scripture accounts, when Satan is getting ready to be exposed, he lashes out in order to attempt to evade being cast out (Matthew 8:28-32; Acts). The case in Matthew 8 where the devils asked Jesus to cast them into the swine seems to indicate that, knowing Christ was about to evict them from the human body they currently occupied, those evil spirits sought to remain in a body (or bodies) and so requested to be sent into the swine (pigs). The pigs ran violently into the nearby water and perished. If pigs don’t want devils possessing them, I wonder why some humans allow such, especially when God made full provision through Christ to deliver fully, set free, and make whole! (Luke 4:18) That’s why Jesus came!

God ordains that women are to protected under the servant leadership of men.

Like the original Jezebel, any person today who is possessed by her evil characteristics is under the domination of that same evil spirit.

JEZEBEL IS NOT UNDER GOD’S AUTHORITY AND LIKES TO OPERATE ANYWHERE SHE IS AND/OR ANYWHERE SHE CAN SUBVERT GOD’S ORDAINED ORDER AND AUTHORITY. IF A PERSON IS NOT TRULY SUBMITTED TO THE LORD, WHICH BEGINS WITH TRUE REPENTANCE, THAT PERSON WILL BE DOMINATED BY SATAN (JAMES 4:7). THIS EVIL SPIRIT SEEKS TO SUBVERT, DISRUPT AND DESTROY ANYWHERE IT POSSIBLY CAN SUCH AS IN THE INDIVIDUAL’S LIFE, THE FAMILY, THE CHURCH, ETC.

Did Jesus Mention Jezebel?

“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. 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

So, if Jesus says “I will kill her children with death,” is there not a deep need to understand what He’s saying to us here?

BEWARE: Any man who dares tackle or take on this biblical topic of Jezebel, is going to be profusely attacked, maligned, purposely mischaracterized, etc…… I have been teaching on this Bible topic along with dozens of others for three decades now and have found that dealing with this topic of Jezebel, from what Scripture tells us, will cause the guilty to lash out and attempt to discredit the messengers as men who hate and mistreat women, etc. Most people who are convicted of their sin by this Bible message, do not want to repent and so diabolical hatred fumes in them and they lash out viciously against the messenger who delivered God’s Word. Their guilt and then refusal to repent causes them to be turned over by the LORD to an even stronger “delusion” and occupation of Satan (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).

—- TIME FOR SOME BACKBONE GENTLEMEN! …  IS IT THAT I HATE WOMEN OR IS IT THAT SOME, A FEW WOMEN, HAVE A DEEP SEATED HATRED FOR MEN DUE TO A PAST ABUSE? MANY TIMES THEY DON’T EVEN REALIZE IT, YET, AND THAT’S WHY THIS BIBLICAL MESSAGE IS SO IMPORTANT. IT BRINGS TO SURFACE DEEP HURTS AND MUST BE PREACHED BELOVED SAINTS BECAUSE IT’S IN GOD’S WORD. THE LORD IS SETTING THOSE WHO WILL FREE BY HIS BLESSED TRUTH AND GRACE (JOHN 8:31-32, 36). IS IT A SIN FOR A MAN CALLED OUT TO PREACH THE ORIGINAL GOSPEL TO DARE AND SAY THAT WOMEN ARE TO BE PROTECTED AND NOT THROWN TO THE DEVILS (DOGS) BY BEING SUFFERED (ALLOWED) TO BE IN A PLACE OF LEADERSHIP OVER MEN THAT IS RESERVED JUST FOR MEN? ISN’T THIS EXACTLY WHAT JESUS WAS SPEAKING OF IN REVELATION 2:20-23? LET’S PEER INTO HIS PRECEPTS BELOVED SAINTS SO WE CAN SEE HIS BLESSED WILL. IT’S ALWAYS TO BENEFIT US. WOMEN ARE “THE WEAKER VESSEL” AND MUST BE PROTECTED IN THE TRUTH BY GOD-FEARING MEN WHO HOLD TO IT (1 PETER 3:1-7). THIS IS WHAT JESUS IS SAYING IN REVELATION 2:20-23. AHABISH MEN ARE TO BE BLAMED TODAY – WEAK, SPINELESS, COWARDLY MORAL PANSIES WHO CATER TO FLESH INSTEAD OF FEARING AND OBEYING CHRIST. WHAT FRUIT DID JESUS TELL US RESULTS FROM ALLOWING WOMEN TO BE IN LEADERSHIP OVER MEN IN CHRIST’S BODY? IT’S HORRIBLE. PRAY OVER AND READ REVELATION 2:20-23 TO FIND OUT AND HEED THE WARNING OF THE SON OF GOD.  … “AM I THEREFORE BECOME YOUR ENEMY, BECAUSE I TELL YOU THE TRUTH?” (GALATIANS 4:16) … IF SO, SO BE IT!

God made women with such great, incredible potential to bless or to curse:

“Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.” Proverbs 14:1

GODLY MEN, life is all about serving Jesus by solving problems for others, amen?

Thriving on Threats … Are You being Attacked? Satan’s Attacks are the Springboard for Divine Blessings!  

More on Jezebel here.

JEZEBEL KNOWS NO BOUNDS: The jezebel, feminist movement attacks men, males who earn more than female as if they did something wrong!!! This is a direct attack on God, men, women, and children – the family unit. This is Satan’s work saints. Jesus told us he’s come “to steal, to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10) Be not deceived. God ordained that the man, the husband, the father, earn the money to take care of his WIFE and children (1 Timothy 5:8). Beware and be thankful to the LORD for the godly men, breadwinners who provide for their wives and families.

The LORD created the family and the role of each member. Those who attack the family unit, attack God and are under divine judgment!

“God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.” Psalms 68:6

God Fearing Manhood 

FEEDBACK:

IT’S AN EPIDEMIC: JEZEBELS will be harshly dealt with and disallowed on this page. This below, which just happened, is just another example of why I personally encourage American men to look abroad for a good wife who’s not been schooled and steeped in jezebellian behavior. Jezebel generation is fully upon us! God be praised for the very few truly God fearing women! Proverbs 31; Titus 2:1-5; 1 Timothy 2:9-15; 1 Peter 3:1-6, etc.

Just blocked a woman for acting disrespectful unnecessarily, just before blocking her and sending her this text and graphic below:

Please remove all traces of Scripture and anything Christian on your page until you truly repent and cease misrepresenting Christ. You are acting a jezebel…. totally disrespectful, arrogant, and ungodly. Repent now sinner. “Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:” 2 Cor 6:3 Jezebel Busted and Exposed 


“Women’s Lib is one of the worst things that ever happened to women and America. It made men weak and pathetic. I believe that was a total attack on woman. True women anyways.” KJ Valentine


Message Received Concerning a “Christian” Lady Who Objected to Exposing Jezebel:

“Her laughter is false bravado…..she is pretending that what you are saying has no affect on her…….(I’ve acted that way) you have planted a hot coal on dry grass…….I also believe when women react harshly or attack there is a demonic element……not all the time but in many cases. As a man of GOD you know you’re going to be attacked …. this will not stop or change but the LORD is with you brother, stand in HIS rest…….may he continue to encourage, lead, guide and strengthen you. I am glad she reacted………..it shows the Word has affected her. Personally … I know where she is because when I first began hearing this truth you were communicating straight from God’s Word, I remember being rude to you, I remember my unkindness …. you were direct, honest but never unkind…..I was in sin by my behavior. You graciously forgave me and I get enjoyment and joy from hearing about JESUS in your writing. You are a good brother and I am grateful to you… I can learn a lot over time as I have from your articles and writings and the consistency of your walk……there is fruit which is evidence of your relationship with GOD.” Laurellynne G.

Response:

Yes I fully agree … her rebellious reaction and response only proves the truth of what was spoken because it is manifesting the devils/demons that possess those who rebel when the light of truth pierces to the darkness of their hearts.

Walking in Godly Integrity Means Paying Restitution Where Needed [podcast]

“And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.” Acts 24:16

Truth: The LORD is watching everything you think and do and will bring you into judgment for it all – all (Proverbs 15:3; 20:11; 23:7; Mark 12:41-44; Romans 14:10, etc.). What’s your judgment going to look like?

“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:1-2 

Jesus taught that only the “honest” will be with Him (Luke 8:15). The dishonest, “ALL … liars” will perish irrevocably in the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8). Those who’ve brought harm to others and have the opportunity to restore what they took (financially, emotionally, etc.) prove who they are by what they do or do not do. Those who take personal responsibility for the harm they brought on another, will be blessed. Those who don’t will be shut out, “cut off” from God (Romans 11:20-22).

“Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,” 2 Corinthians 6:3-4

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13

Godly Integrity owns up to its personal responsibility to make amends where we have caused hurt. Restitution. A man of godly integrity never runs from his personal responsibility to repair and restore where he has brought harm – with his words, attitudes, or actions. This is exactly what happens when a man truly repents and gives his life to Christ. Zacchaeus is a great example to us of this. Like Zacchaeus, when we truly repent, there will always be good fruit, amends for our wrongdoing. Watch this closely. Watch what this man does after getting right with God:

Luke 19

1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

5 (the call and command) And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

6 (obedience) And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. (that’s exactly why Jesus came!)

8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. (true repentance always brings for the fruit of restitution Matthew 3:7-10)

9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

As we see in this case with Zacchaeus when he repented, turning to Jesus the Savior, true repentance always brings for the fruit of restitution. See Matthew 3:7-10.

Zacchaeus is a great example. When, if that true repentance happens in his heart, if the sinner, the transgressor allows it, there will be a practical restitution to those he’s harmed by his sin. Soon as he repented he wanted to pay restitution to those he’d harmed.

“Verse 8 is one of the strongest in the Bible on restitution. Salvation does not relieve a person from righting the wrongs of the past. Debts contracted during one’s unconverted days are not canceled by the new birth. And if money was stolen before salvation, then a true sense of the grace of God requires that this money be repaid after a person has become a child of God.” William MacDonald, Believer’s Bible Commentary

There’s no such thing as a person who is right with God and not making restitution for those he’s hurt.

INTEGRITY: If you owe someone $1,000 and can’t pay it all at once, show integrity and send them $ every month or week till you’ve paid them off. If you don’t, you show yourself to be a man who is without integrity (Proverbs 20:7). Soon as you begin paying back, you demonstrate the earnest of your integrity.

Jesus teaches us that we are wasting our time attempting to relate to or pray to the Father in His name if we have issues that need to be clear up with another.

God will not answer the prayer of any person who does not honor and obey His Word and if a person has an outstanding offense He wants them to clear up these matters (Proverbs 28:9, 13).

“Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.” Matthew 5:23-24

God is not going to bless our lives unless we are willing to sincerely admit our sins, repent and confess them, and make amends (restitution) with anyone we’ve harmed. In the divine economy, there’s no such thing as being right with God when you’ve done another person wrong, haven’t repented, and haven’t made amends for what you’ve done. Such a person will be outside of the will and blessings of God until he makes things right with God and man.

The LORD requires that His people “examine” and “judge” themselves.

“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?   2 Corinthians 13:5

Examine and honest judge yourself and amend your ways or God will judge you.

“For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.” 1 Corinthians 11:31-32

More Bible Verses on Restitution

Read Exodus 22:1-31

“If a thief be found breaking up (stealing in a burglary, home invasion), and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him. 3 If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.” Exodus 22:2-3

“Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty; 7 Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.” Numbers 5:6-7

“And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man. 6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.” Genesis 9:5-6

What Church is Jesus Coming Back for? [podcast]

Are you personally, intimately familiar with the words of Holy Scripture found in Ephesians 5:25-27?

“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:21-27

Jesus is coming back for a church without spot or wrinkle or any such thing but one that is “holy and without blemish.” So this speaks of those who were His and yet presently have spotted garments, sin they haven’t repented of (Ephesians 5:25-27).

“Be ye holy”

“But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16

“NO MAN shall see the Lord” without “holiness”

“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:” Hebrews 12:14

Regrettably, most preachers today are so busy making excuse for sin that they refuse to disclose this preeminent, self-evident New Testament truth.

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?” 2 Peter 3:10-12

As this fallen world system and its inhabitants spiral unalterably downward in darkness and disarray, it becomes even more essential for the wise virgin saint to be anchored in the LORD in private prayer, praise, thanksgiving, and Bible reading. No man shall withstand the darkness of this late hour who is not seeking the LORD diligently, daily, relentlessly – demonstrating perpetually that they love the LORD supremely more than self or any other (Matthew 24:10-13, 22). Memorize 1 Chronicles 16:11; Psalms 57:7; 63:8.

IF he’s not hastening you to the holiness of God, he’s playing you for your allegiance to him, and perhaps your money! are you a gullible pawn? Read 2 Peter 2 and 3.

SO, the sinful seminarian wolf you call your “pastor” isn’t preaching the return of Christ, the cross, the necessity of personal holiness, hell, the essential of repentance, or Christ, the Messiah….. and you still sit under that darkness? Repent.

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:2-4

SO MANY have more faith, more confidence in SIN than they do in the SAVIOR who came and died to make us free from ALL SIN! That’s a cross-less false gospel! Just as Jude foretold, these deceivers – “ungodly men” – cover their sins with a false grace message (Jude 3-4). With no exception, the saving grace of God – IFFFF you really have it – delivers you from sin and never justifies you in sin! Time to repent and be changed today! …. These grace abusing tares want to relish a false grace message that erroneously says that God is going to save them IN their sin but the Bible says Jesus came to save us “FROM” our sin – not in our sins (Matthew 1:21; John 1:29; Titus 2:11-4, etc.). SO, God’s grace isn’t sufficient to deliver you from sin? If you believe that you don’t know Him.

Some among us are so enthralled in listening to modern end times teachers as they seek to figure everything out, that they are not abiding in Christ. These are among the foolish virgins.

ARE YOU spending more time engrossed in some supposed end times scenario than you are obeying God by doing the Great Commission mandate? If so, you are not ready to meet Jesus and in big trouble. Isn’t it time to let God be God and to get about the Father’s business?

“Thou hast been in Eden the Garden of God.” ~ Ezekiel 28:13 [podcast]


Excerpt from the book Lie of the Ages

THE INTRUDERS—THE RESTORATION

“Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God.” ~ Ezekiel 28:13

The evil one had been thrust down from Heaven to the earth for the iniquity found in him (Ezek. 28:15; Lk. 10:18). This evil foe, who had been ejected by God from Heaven’s pristine and perfect premises, was cast down to the earth and allowed in the sanctuary of the Garden of Eden, because God gives men a choice to serve—or to not serve Him. He created in mankind the gift of free will. Temptation is ultimately the test as to whom the individual will love and serve. “For the LORD your God proveth (tests) you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul” (Deut. 13:3).

The serpent slithered among the lush embellishments of the Garden of Eden. His goal was the fall of the first man and woman who were created in the image of the One who made all things. Satan obviously schemed and strategized as to what weapon to employ in order to accomplish his main objective—to cause the first man and woman to fall from grace by sinning, and consequently, be alienated from the LORD. This enemy of souls knew from personal experience that the Almighty keeps His Word and casts down those who disobey Him. To this point, Adam and Eve knew only righteousness. They did not yet realize what the evil one knew and had already been the recipient of – that is, the judgment of God for his sin. A hard lesson lay ahead of Adam and Eve, and a fallen creation would be left in the wake of their defiance of the holy LORD and His righteous command – not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gen. 2:17).

The enemy of all souls has not changed. His temptations are “common to man” (1 Cor. 10:13). Satan’s goal was, and is, to interrupt and destroy the relationship between his enemy, God, and His special creation—man. Jesus informed us that the ultimate “thief” has come to “steal, to kill and to destroy” (Jn. 10:10). This same goal—the fall of man—is still his aim and will be until the LORD Himself puts him away for good (Rev. 20:10).

From the Garden to the modern pulpit, the enemy has lied to mankind. Satan and his false teachers are the intruders—the very enemies of the Almighty. The serpent has slithered through the garden path of history, seductively spreading his poisonous seed, causing the fall of many and now possesses the thoughts and doctrines of an army of deceived men in ministry.

Ever since the Garden, the lie of the ages dwells among men, especially in the sanctuary where the LORD is supposed to be reigning—the Church world. As in the Garden of creation, so the enemy specifically concentrates on the sanctuary of his enemy’s people. He seeks to molest purity, beguiling those who are unlearned. Many times, he uses the body of Christ’s own leaders.

Today, the pulpits and platforms of modern media are the places that most people simply do not suspect to be the mediums where falsehoods thrive, reside, and flow. They do not see the serpent lurking among the trees in the garden of modern “Christian” pulpits, organizations, and media. Most are not aware of the wolves in sheep’s clothing who, like the lurking serpent in the garden, “lie in wait to deceive” (Eph. 4:14).

As foretold by the prophet Amos, the enemy of souls seeks to alter and remove the Word of God from the hearing of God’s people (Amos 8:11). This is what he did in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 2:17; 3:4). Today this same enemy uses the most subtle messengers—the ones many people look to for truth. The Holy Spirit forewarned us that in these last of days men would not remain in the truth but rather that “some shall depart from the faith” and that “many” would “corrupt the word of God” (1 Tim. 4:1; 2 Cor. 2:17): “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.”

It simply doesn’t matter if a leader realizes he is teaching heresy or not. If he is teaching anything other than the Word, he is a detractor from the glory of God and leading others astray. Men of God are to “preach the word” and speak only “as the oracles (words) of God” (2 Tim. 4:2; 1 Pet. 4:11). This is a non-negotiable command to all who would accurately represent the LORD. No matter the reasoning, one will be found a deceiver on Judgment Day if he preaches any other message than the Word of God (Isa. 8:20). One can be sincere and sincerely wrong at the same time (Prov. 14:12). “Let God be true, but every man a liar” (Rom. 3:4).

The holy and almighty God told us that He is going to judge all men according to His Word (Jn. 12:48; Rom. 2:16; Rev. 20:11-15).

From the very beginning (Garden of Creation), the beguiler’s target has been God’s people. Nothing has changed. His message to men is simple— “You don’t have to worry about obedience, it’s optional, you can live the way you choose and still remain in the grace of God.”

Through those men he uses today, the enemy mixes in some truth with this deadly lie of lasciviousness and poisons the whole pond, leading many astray into a false gospel and false security. Perhaps it has been wisely stated that “Satan will give you a million pounds of truth to blind you with that one ounce of a deadly lie which will kill you.” In order to bring in a lie among God’s people, the enemy likes to lead with truth as his smokescreen in order to bring in that deadly distortion behind the cover of truth. See Matthew 16:6-12 and 1 Corinthians 5:6. “A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump” (Gal. 5:9).

Why should we be surprised that this ultimate enemy still uses the most “subtle” and unsuspected methods and personalities to communicate his deadly message to God’s people? After all, his message still works to cause unsuspecting men to fall out of fellowship with God. Why should we wonder why the evil one still utilizes the same lie that claimed the first man and woman? Has this message not captured untold scores of souls since then? Are we so blindly naïve as to believe that there is no evil or devil? Why should we be surprised to realize that this same evil enemy of souls is ceaselessly in the midst of our garden today, telling this same lie by adding to the Word of the Maker?

God said “Thou shalt surely die,” and Satan countered with “Ye shall not surely die.”

Are pulpits more sacred than the very Garden of Eden? Obviously not. There was no sin in the Garden until Satan introduced the lie of the ages, and the man and woman bought it. In the very cradle of creation, the enemy of God initiated and launched the lie that would fatally wound mankind, claiming the souls of millions throughout the centuries. This exact same deadly lie was picked up, incorporated, and perpetuated by early century church fathers, so-called theologians, whose heresy-laced writings and commentaries regrettably hold great prominence among many evangelicals today—even though they have no reconciliation with the Counsel of God, which will be demonstrated throughout this book.

The Bible enlightens us to the reality that Satan is a strategist and has schemes of which believers are instructed not to be ignorant (2 Cor. 2:11; 1 Pet. 5:8). We are in a war, and like any good war general and his staff, we are to study and know the nature, weapons, and ways of our enemy.

The apostle Paul informed us that Satan’s methods are the same today as they were from the start—in the Garden.

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” ~ 1 Corinthians 10:13

In this same text, the LORD told us that He makes a way to escape the re-used lies of the enemy and his temptations.

As can be clearly seen in Genesis, “once saved always saved” is not a new doctrine, and it’s also not the LORD’s doctrine. “Once saved always saved is clearly the lie that caused the fall of man. This is the doctrine of the arch enemy of the Almighty. As in the very beginning, the unholy serpent himself is still creeping into the homes and gathering places of believers today and utilizing the same lie to mislead people and cause their fall from grace. The chief wolf who has come “to steal, and to kill, and to destroy” seeks to devour souls for his kingdom and from the Chief Shepherd, who is “come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (Jn. 10:10; Heb. 13:20). Beware! “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet. 5:8).

The first lie led to the fall of the first man and woman and is leading to the fall of masses of people today. Millions in our day are being taught that they are unconditionally eternally secure—in the absence of the truth about the holiness of the God they will stand before in judgment, and His demand that we be made holy as He is holy (1 Pet. 1:16).

The pulpits of America have been hi-jacked by men who have “crept in unawares” who are teaching a doctrine originated by the enemy of all souls and calling it “Christian.” This is paramount to using the name of the LORD in vain, by attaching His holy name to a teaching of his arch enemy.

Tracing the Lie

The adversary attacked God through His own creation—the Garden, the fruit, the serpent, the woman, and the man.

Does it intrigue you to uncover the very first lie told by the one Christ warned us of who is the father of all lies? Of Satan, Jesus said: “for he is a liar, and the father of it” (Jn. 8:44).

One three-letter word— “not”—changed the course of history! Satan told the woman “Ye shall not surely die,” after their Maker had told them that they would “surely die” in the day they disobeyed Him (Gen. 2:17; 3:4).

“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall NOT surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” ~ Genesis 3:4-5

This first and poisonous falsehood, the lie of the ages, is still today the same deadly venom being injected by the evil one in the battle that rages for the eternal souls of men. The serpent infused the first man and woman with this venomous and paralyzing deception, robbing from their hearts the fear of the LORD, which led to their fall from grace. Consequently, a separation was incurred between a holy Maker and His creation with a catastrophic curse which fell.

This unconditional eternal security—without condition to the recipient—is the very FIRST LIE the devil ever told to mankind. “Once saved always saved” (OSAS) is one of the modern labels of the renamed, or repackaged, lie of the ages. In this deception in the Garden, as well as in our day, Satan craftily convinces people that they have irrevocable “security” and “assurance,” no matter what their actions against the clear command/Word of God.

The message of eternal security without condition to the recipient is that once one has been born again, he has no responsibility to continue to faithfully obey the Almighty—the One who saved him. Those who sit under this teaching are told that once they have been brought into fellowship with Him in His garden of salvation through Christ, they can never “die” or be separated from Him again, even if they blatantly rebel. This lie teaches that the person who Christ has saved can then choose to live as he wishes with no fear of consequence or righteous retribution from the One who is “Holy, holy, holy” (Isa. 6:3; Rev. 4:8). This is the very lie that Satan gave Adam and Eve which led to their fall into sin and separation from the LORD.

Can you see why it is a big score for the enemy of souls when people are told by their misled leaders that they are “once saved always saved”—no matter what they choose to do, including revolt completely against the Most High and go back to the life of sin?

In the sanctity of the Garden, where there was no suspicion, Satan intruded. Today, in the sanctuary of the pulpits and various Christian media, his emissaries are intruding where few suspect. He prospers because so many believe that their leaders are guiding them correctly, and yet do not know and obey the Word of God for themselves. Only those who learn the way of the LORD through His Word can know and see the enemy’s work. Those who do not have a life in the Word will fall prey to deception and ultimately be destroyed (Hos. 4:6; Matt. 22:29). Discernment comes from being personally exercised in the Word of God (Heb. 5:11-14).

The New Garden—Restored Holy Bliss

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” ~ Isaiah 9:6-7

The Genesis account of creation and the relationship between the LORD and the first man and woman, is an ongoing saga to continue until the hour of Christ’s return, and the establishment of His eternal kingdom. We are given this record (the Bible) in order to know the LORD and how He deals with men, and who He blesses and who He curses.

From the Garden to the Holy City—Genesis to Revelation, the war over the souls of men rages. The enemy seeks to reclaim those redeemed by the blood of the One who is the seed of woman (Gen. 3:15). What better way to undertake such an evil mission than to use those shepherds at the very helm of the visible church?

God’s account of man’s creation and fall is not left without a solution from the only One who can remedy his alienation. Holy Writ opens with the creation and fall of mankind and the promised prophetic restoration through the Messiah of all who will come to Him, as He justly prescribed (Gen. 3:15). The book of all Books ends with a warning to all of us concerning making the very same error Adam and Eve made when they bought into the distortion of His holy words, and thereby fell, joining forces with His archenemy.

“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.” ~ Revelation 22:12-21

In these final words of Holy Scripture, Jesus Christ tells us that He is coming quickly to reward all according to each person’s works. He says to us that those who keep and do His Word will receive blessings and “have right to the tree of life” in the restored “holy city” of God. Outside this blessedness will be all who have lived in and justified their sins—no matter what their previous relationship with Him might have been. Then, in the very final words of Holy Writ, there is the warning of adding to or taking from His words. This adding to or removing of truth is done first internally, in the hearts of those who do not genuinely love the LORD with all their heart, soul, mind and strength. Those who love darkness rather than His holy light do not wish to come clean under the light of divine truth (Jn. 3:18-21; 2 Tim. 4:3-4).

This war for the souls of men spans from Genesis to Revelation, and the words of God are pivotal in this most crucial and consequential of battles. Those who play into the enemy’s scheme to “add unto” or “take away” from God’s words of instruction will be removed from the book of life, cut out of the holy city, and from all eternal blessings. The lake of fire waits.

PRAYER: LORD Jesus, please purify my heart and remove all dissimulation and mixture from me. Rid my life of all secret faults and presumptuous sins! Father, please grant me the blessing of knowing You in truth and living in Your holy light and will. Jesus, please preserve my eternal soul until the day of Your soon return. Amen.
