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:

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).
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.
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?

Jesus’ Counsel to the Lukewarm [podcast]

Laodicea: How Jesus Instructs the Backslidden to be Restored

Jesus’ Letter to the Church at Laodicea

“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17 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:

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

The cross, the crucified life is the cure to the curse of sin—sin dominating our lives.

Romans 6

Inflation is part of the judgment of God upon a wicked people, nation. We see such in Sodom and in Laodicea (Ezekiel 16:49-59; Romans 1; Revelaton 3:14-22).

“It appears that in this scarcity each might be able to obtain a bare subsistence by his daily labor; but a man could not, in such cases, provide for a family.” Adam Clarke

Your money doesn’t go far….. inflation

“Revelation 6 describes the opening of the first six seals, which represent God’s judgment, often called the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The third seal, broken by a “black horse,” is interpreted to show hyper-inflation and famine, where a day’s wage (a denarius) buys only a quart of wheat. The judgment includes a command to preserve the oil and wine, which some interpret as luxury goods, while essential food becomes scarce and expensive.”

“6:5, 6 In obedience to the third living creature, a rider holding a set of scales came forth on a black horse. This represents famine, which often follows war. A voice in the middle of the four living creatures announced that wheat and barley were being sold at prohibitive prices. The scales were used to weigh the rationed grain and were thus a symbol of famine. The expression do not harm the oil and the wine is difficult. Some say that these were the food of the poor. If they were staple items, then they must be protected in order to preserve life. It seems more likely, however, that the luxury items of the rich are contemplated here: historically, even in famine the rich can get some luxuries.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

The only thing needed to go to hell is to not be on fire for Jesus—to be “lukewarm” (Revelation 3:15-16).

Jesus instructed the Laodicean church… to obtain, to “buy of me….

“3:18 The people were counseled to buy from the Lord gold refined in the fire. This may mean divine righteousness, which is bought without money or price (Isa_55:1) but received as a gift through faith in the Lord Jesus. Or it may mean genuine faith, which when tested in the fire, results in praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ (1Pe_1:7).

Also the people were counseled to buy white garments, that is, practical righteousness in everyday life. And they should anoint their eyes with eye salve, that is, gain true spiritual vision through the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. This counsel was especially appropriate, since Laodicea was known as a center for banking, textiles, and medicines—especially eye salve.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

“Revelation 3:18
I counsel thee – O fallen and deceived soul, hear Jesus! Thy case is not hopeless. Buy of me.
Gold tried in the fire – Come and receive from me, without money and without price, faith that shall stand in every trial: so gold tried in the fire is here understood. But it may mean pure and undefiled religion, or that grace or Divine influence which produces it, which is more valuable to the soul than the purest gold to the body. They had before imaginary riches; this alone can make them truly rich.
White raiment – Holiness of heart and life.
Anoint thine eyes – Pray for, that ye may receive, the enlightening influences of my Spirit, that ye may be convinced of your true state, and see where your help lies.” Adam Clarke

Warning

“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” Revelation 16:15

Coming forth as Purified Gold

“But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Job 23:10

To “come forth as gold” refers to the finished product, where gold has been purified of all its impurities.

“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:” 1 Peter 1:7

“The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.” Proverbs 17:3

Idolatry is Sin

Putting, having anything or anyone before Christ in our lives is the soul damning sin of idolatry. Such a person has rejected Christ for something, anything else.

One such idol, one such cause today is patriotism for one’s earthly country. See Hebrews 11:14-16.

SO, you are fighting to save America (impossible) and not see souls saved for and by Jesus? Yet you claim to be following Christ who said “I MUST be about my Father’s business”? See Luke 2:49. You are deceived and in need of repentance before it’s too late. You left your “first love” and are in sin, in darkness (Revelation 2:4-5).

“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 33And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.” Daniel 11:32-35

“Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” Daniel 12:10

PRAYER: Father in Jesus’ name, please grant to my heart Your gift of repentance and the deep desire to have Your righteousness, to not be deceived by sin, Satan, or counterfeits and false teachers. Please forgive all my sins afresh, here and now by Your precious blood LORD Jesus. Unite my heart to fear Your name. Fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Eyesalve to See

“Christian Soldier persevere. It’s about time for Jesus to come.” RN WHY did the LORD give us physical eyes? Protection. And this is why He wishes to grant us spiritual eyes. We cannot ever fake God out. We cannot deceive the Almighty or short His system – which begins with repenting. It’s only then that He opens our eyes to see which brings protection. We can’t be protected from the devouring wolves He often warns us to beware of unless we can SEE or discern them! We need the “eyesalve” that God alone can give us! When Jesus spoke to […]

“You Who are Troubled Rest with Us” [podcast]

Many instill fear in Christ’s saints concerning these last days. Paul says: “You Who are Troubled Rest with Us”

“Rest with us” because Justice is Coming

2 Thessalonians 1:3-10

3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

The Judgment at Christ’s Coming

5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Divine “vengeance” is coming “vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:” (v8)

Remember, while He instructed us not “avenge,” He also promised that “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Romans 12:19

We shall rejoice to see the LORD retribution come upon the wicked.

“The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11 that a man shall say, 11 1 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.” Psalms 58:10-11

The Happenings just before Christ’s Soon Return

Luke 21:25-28

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:25-28

Being Prepared for His Return

Luke 21:34-36

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21:34-36

Walking unwavering with and suffering with Christ and His body now – as we look forward to being with Him!

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18

The LORD knows all before it happens and He’s not surprised of anything. God is going to use all these things to conform His people to Christ. Remember, all things are not good but God takes them and uses them to conform us to Christ, to be “crucified with Christ.” (Galatians 2:20).

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Romans 8:28-29

This truth has never been so relevant saints of Christ and the signs of the season of His return are at hand. He’s coming for you precious one!!!! Rescue mission!!! The Return of Heaven’s KING

May God allow us to preach in such a way as to cause His people to begin to be homesick for Heaven to be with Him.

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

I wonder how full our hearts will be as we become nourished up in His Word concerning Heaven. Will our hearts not burst forth and be filled with excitement, overflowing with joy like before we go on a vacation, the anticipation filling our hearts as we eagerly await being with our glorious Savior and Father? Read John 14:1-6 and Revelation 21.

Calling on the name above all names today. He’s the Maker and Controller of His whole universe and He’s coming back soon to retake control of it all – to decisively, violently put down all of His enemies both demonic and human (Colossians 1:16-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:11-16).

No matter what’s going on – good or bad – WE KNOW that the song is true …. that our “God is so good, God is soooo gooood, God is so good, He’s so good to me…..” … There’s NO way to sing this simple song of praise and not get happy in Jesus! Impossible.

Our LORD Jesus is coming to establish His perfect Government on His earth. Stand by. Occupy. Rejoice. Look up. “Your redemption draweth nigh.” (Luke 21:28).

“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. 7 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

We can be sure that mankind is fallen and cannot solve his own problem – which is sin against His Maker. Only the Prince of Peace, our LORD Jesus, can do so…. and He will (Isaiah 9:6-7).

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Luke 2:14

He is going to crush His enemies under His feet (Romans 16:20; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:11-16; 1 Corinthians 15:25, 27).

PRAYER: Holy Father, in the name of Jesus, please break me, cause me to be truly poor in spirit with a humble, contrite heart of flesh. Please grant a deep compassion in me dear LORD Jesus as You conform me to Your holy image in the crucified life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Two Types of Believers – the mere professor and the possessor. God created us and sent His only begotten Son that we might know Him. “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3 THE POSSESSORS “In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.” Isaiah 4:2 The LORD Jesus is “the branch … beautiful and glorious” shall He be and shall be His […]

Idolatry

THE SIN, THE CURSE, AND THE FRUIT OF IDOLATRY [podcast]

“Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.” Leviticus 26:1

Idolatry will damn the eternal soul to hell (Exodus 20:3-7; Galatians 5:19-21, etc.). Just one idol. ANYthing that is more important to you than Jesus Christ is an idol. You must repent and receive Christ or you will perish in the flames of eternal damnation (Luke 13:3; John 1:12). If you aren’t willing to give up your religion to follow Jesus, you are a hell bound idolater who has chosen to pay for your own sins for eternity in hell.

God will not be worshipped by physical objects, idols. Jesus says:

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24

2 Corinthians 5:16 says “Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.” This verse, this divine truth has helped me out much. God forbids any attempt to worship Him through, via any images, anything physical (Exodus 20:3-7). According to this Bible verse, we do not even know Jesus after the flesh.

Jesus stated the divine essential, the non-negotiable imperative that “they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23-24).

17 Soul Damning Sins

“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 IDOLATRY, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21

“But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” James 3:14-16

IDOL’ATRY, noun [Latin idololatria. Gr. idol, and to worship or serve.]

1. The worship of idols, images, or any thing made by hands, or which is not God.

Idolatry is of two kinds; the worship of images, statues, pictures, etc. made by hands; and the worship of the heavenly bodies, the sun, moon and stars, or of demons, angels, men and animals.

2. Excessive attachment or veneration for any thing, or that which borders on adoration.

from Websters1828

Anything you refuse to give up for Jesus is your idol.

Any person who will not give up their religion to follow Jesus is a hell bound antichrist idolater.

The Stark Contrast between True and False Worship

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3

Whatever you won’t give up for Jesus is a soul damning idol (Mark 9:43-49).

The reason so many don’t take sin seriously and sit under sin-justifying wolves in sheep’s clothing, is because they do not fear nor take God seriously. Then they attack the true messengers of Christ who are declaring that God is holy and He requires non-negotiably that anyone who will know and be with Him eternally cut off occasion for all sin as Jesus commanded in Mark 9:43-49 KJB. They talk about grace but only in the respect that their sins were initially forgiven, yet never in respect to divine grace being the divine influence and enablement in their daily lives to overcome all that displeases Him, as they worshipfully with great gratitude deny self, take up the cross and follow, abide in Jesus (Titus 2:11-14; Luke 9:23-24; John 15:1-6, etc.).

The cross message of Christ and His holy apostles is not a novel concept, idea, or mere suggestion but rather it is a non-negotiable essential component of the original Gospel.

Recently, I ran across a comment by a person who wrote: “A cross (or crucifix, picture, statute, etc.) is not idolatry so long as it leads the person to worship God, and not the object itself.”

Is this true? No. This is pure human reasoning and a denial of the Word of God. As you can tell, this person commenting was most likely catholic. Speaking of the catholic church, they removed the second commandment because it was costing them money. The 2nd commandment says:

“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.” Exodus 20:4-6

God is not and will not be worshipped through images. In fact only Satan receives worship when images are used (Exodus chapter 20; 1 Corinthians 10:19-21). Satan is the entity who received worship when someone does that which God forbids….

Committing the sin of Idolatry yokes you with devils.

“They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.” Deuteronomy 32:17

Making Peace with God

Upholding Jesus, the Only Head of His Body [podcast]

YOUR first thought when you hear “God” or “Christianity” should be JESUS! Not some church, pastor, or church program! The ministry continually receives emails from people who have latched on to some mere man, his personality – instead of worshipping Christ supremely (Colossians 2:18-19). And in doing so, they defend those mere men angrily, doggedly, having never stopped to put them to the biblical test. “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try (test) the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1 “Not everything is at it seems. Their […]

Devils and Inanimate Objects? [podcast]

ANY person attempting to worship God or gain favor or blessings via any physical image is an antichrist – one who has put something, anything before, in place of the living Savior – and is an idolater and has no part in Christ’s kingdom (Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation 21:8, etc.). Symbols are images…. and God will not be worshipped via any devil-inspired man-made image. “Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan (Egyptian idol), figures (pocket idol) which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.” Acts 7:43 Idol […]

Fresh Start with God

You can Have a … Jesus is the Great Shepherd of His Sheep (Heb. 13:20; Lk. 15) A FRESH START WITH GOD (First, if you are not certain that you are genuinely born again, please go here first) Let’s get something straight…. the disciple, the mere man writing this message is more in need of JESUS than anyone who ever lived! No one needs Jesus more than I do and yet, we must do things HIS way, not our own (Ephesians 3:8). “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs […]

MAKING PEACE WITH GOD [podcast]

MAKING PEACE WITH GOD (Spanish version here) Are you ready to Pass from Death to Life? God desires to pardon you – before it’s too late. Jesus beckons you to “Come unto me” — while you can (Matthew 11:28-30). “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 GOD sees all sin and will either […]
