When a “celebrity” gets saved its all about what God can do through their “influence” and “platform”… and somehow all Jesus needs is rich talented people to endorse him.
When they are un-discipled, unfruitful, divorce their spouse, poison the people of God with their compromise and return back to the vomit they came from… all you hear is the wicked gloating that Jesus wasn’t real in the first place.
Jesus did not say: “When the talented celebrity Christian’s brand is lifted up, their PR and marketing skills will draw all men unto me.”
God doesn’t need our platforms, he needs our obedience. Real repentance has real fruit. We don’t need celebrities to endorse Christ. We need humble people to submit to the obedience of Christ.
Any wolf can cover their fangs and put a sheep mask back on. Look what Zacchaeus did. Then look what these fake celebrities do. It’s not real repentance. Real repentance has the fruits of humility, immediately and in the long-term.
Luke 19
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
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, Irestore him fourfold.
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, for so much 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.
If you are watching and praying, and paying attention to the news… especially to Israel (God’s prophetic calender)… then you know that God is ACCELERATING a lot of things spiritually. Make sure you watch and pray on a deeper level. Recommit your life to Jesus Christ.
But also, make sure that you are on the GOOD SIDE of the immutable laws of sowing and reaping. Change what you actually DO, amend your ways, and bring God the FRUITS of repentance. TODAY!
Daniel 4
27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquility.
Luke 9
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.
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, for so much as he also is a son of Abraham.
Never allow intellectual pride to pass for Spirit-filled Christianity.

One Scripture Revealing Christ who Revealed the Father:
Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, HOW OFTEN WOULD I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and YE WOULD NOT!
“Servetus lately wrote to me, and coupled with his letter a long volume of his delirious fancies, with the Thrasonic boast, that I should see something astonishing and unheard of. He offers to come hither, if it be agreeable to me. But I am unwilling to pledge my word for his safety, FOR IF HE SHALL COME, I SHALL NEVER PERMIT HIM TO DEPART ALIVE, PROVIDED MY AUTHORITY BE OF ANY AVAIL”
“This passage has been most improperly abused by the Anabaptists, and by others like them, to take from the Church the power of the sword. But it is easy to refute them; for since they approve of excommunication, which cuts off, at least for a time, the bad and reprobate, why may not godly magistrates, when necessity calls for it, use the sword against wicked men? They reply that, when the punishment is not capital, there is room allowed for repentance; as if the thief on the cross (Luke 23:42) did not find the means of salvation. I shall satisfy myself with replying, that Christ does not now speak of the office of pastors or of magistrates, but removes the offense which is apt to disturb weak minds, when they perceive that the Church is composed not only of the elect, but of the polluted dregs of society. ”
Honour, glory, and riches will be the reward of your pains. Above all do not fail to rid the country of all those zealous scoundrels that stir up the people to make head against us. Such monsters should be smothered, as I have done here by Michel Servetus the Spaniard.
4. Preface to Commentary on the Psalms, Vol. 1, 22 July 1557 http://www.ccel.org/ccel/calvin/calcom08.vi.html Visit to read the entire commentary. Once again describing the type of man that John Calvin is and this is from CALVIN UNIVERSITY…
“And at length matters had come to such a state, that an end could be put to their machinations in NO OTHER WAY THAN CUTTING THEM OFF BY AN IGNOMINIOUS DEATH; WHICH WAS INDEED A PAINFUL AND PITIABLE SPECTACLE TO ME. THEY NO DOUBT DESERVED THE SEVEREST PUNISHMENT.”
5. Wow did John Calvin love to use the SWORD to kill anyone who was against his doctrine. Here he is once again instigating more deaths. Are these fake too? You would think that the Calvin family remaining alive would be able to sue all of these people including John Calvin UNIVERSITY itself. In this case, the link of a reformed website.
“From what I am given to understand, Monseigneur, there are two kinds of rebels who have risen up against the King and the Estates of the Kingdom. (1) The one, a fantastical sort of persons, who, under color of the Gospel, would put all into confusion. (2) The others are persons who persist in the superstitions of the Roman Antichrist. BOTH ALIKE DESERVE TO BE REPRESSED BY THE SWORD WHICH IS COMMITTED TO YOU, since they not only attack the King, but strive with God, who has placed him upon a royal throne, and has committed to you the protection as well of his person as of his majesty.”
If you were made beautiful, it’s your job to help other people feel beautiful. If you were made smart, it’s your job to help other people become smart. If you were made bold, it’s your job to help other people be bold. If you were made holy by Christ, it’s your job to help others be made holy by Christ. Don’t be selfish and prideful – Love Your Neighbor the same way you Love Yourself!
If your DISobedience doesn’t disqualify you from success in God (thru Gods mercy and my repentance), then how in the world does your OBEDIENCE to God disqualify you from success in God??? Lol tell that devil to shut up!
No seriously, next time the Accuser of the brethren tells you that your obedience to God is an offense or a blacklist or too dangerous for your marketing image, Laugh Out Loud!!! God rewards those that diligently seek HIM! His hands hold what you need!
I believe that those free from heresy prove it by having the ability to focus on Jesus Christ. That’s the proof of the Holy Ghost. Once you identify yourself with a dead man instead of the Resurrected One, you begin to give him glory instead of Christ. That in itself is heresy. In 1 Cor 11:19 basically says sects come so the ones that DONT join them can prove themselves to be followers of Christ.
Theres nothing wrong with what we see in 1 Cor 11:1, following a person as they follow Christ, that’s just discipleship. Reading and understanding a portion of Christ that has been given to someone in the past is good diligence in studying the Word of God.
There is something wrong with what we see in 1 Cor 11:19, heresy, which is like a divisive political party spirit in the church. When you desire to identify with a dead man that is not your Daddy and you dont know personally, that goes a little farther than discipleship.
Jesus is still alive. That’s just one of the main differences between him and other historical teachers of the Gospel. No matter how great a person’s ministry or teaching was, they still died. Jesus is still with us in the person of the Holy Spirit. Exalt Him!
How do you know the difference between if you are following a leader as they follow Christ, or idolizing a leader unknowingly a spirit of heresy, division, or error?
– When they are dead spiritually or naturally you still follow them as if they were alive spiritually or naturally.
– Whenever they are mentioned in a non-worshipful way, you get angry and/or defend them.
– You have a strong desire to be associated with their name brand, even equal to the name brand of Jesus Christ himself.
Are there any other clues to idolatry vs leadership?
Any biblical interpretation/theological tool that has you devaluing or dismissing the wisdom of Jesus Christ (“because he was talking to Jews, because he hadn’t died yet, because He hadn’t resurrected yet, because it was just a message to that church”), is a biblical interpretation/theological tool you need to flush down the toilet because that’s where it belongs. Jesus is Above All.
Paul taught that men should work a job, not only to eat, but to support their wife and family. Paul did not have a wife, but he still worked a job in ministry.
However, even though he wasnt supposed to, Paul additionally worked a natural-based job to help maintain the purity of the Lambs Wife (the Church), instead of joining in or competing with the wolves who saw it as their job to eat off the Lambs wife by corrupting the church instead of building her up.
Isn’t it interesting that a lot of the prophets, apostles and teachers in the Bible who called the Church, or God’s people, back to purity were either working natural jobs or fresh off of regular jobs? Jesus was a carpenter, Paul was a tent maker, Daniel was an administrative official, Nehemiah was a cupbearer, Amos was a farmer.
It’s not a sin to be in full time ministry – but sometimes, when there are too many ministers that see it as their job to eat the flock instead of feed the flock – God sends in fresh workers who don’t have pressure to eat off their ministry, but will instead work to restore purity.
