Jezebel Exposed (in the Church) | Countdown to The Call Detroit 11-11-11: Day 38 –

Jezebel Exposed

Jesus Christ is marching and he’s Chopping Off Heads. Every thing that exalts itself above the knowledge of Christ is about to be dethroned (2 Cor 10).  Just like Jehu, he’s about to get rid of Jezebel. He’s already been doing it, we just need to have an ear to hear and eyes to see what He’s doing. The Old Covenant version of Jezebel is the one that kills true messengers of God, and corrupts leaders. The New Covenant version (after she killed John the Baptist) version of Jezebel – her strategy is a little different.

I have blogged about Jezebel in the past, (3 Main Doctrines That Jesus Hates) as well as about this exact passage in Revelations 2 (How To Rule Nations and Governments).  But in the past couple of years I have gotten a lot more understanding on Revelations 2. I explain a lot more of this through dream interpretations, testimonies, and scriptural revalations in my upcoming book, (Killing Idols For REVIVAL) but let’s take a quick look at Jesus explaining Jezebel’s new covenant strategies. Then we’ll look at how it relates to Detroit and Detroit’s influence on the nations of the earth.

Revelations 2

18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write ; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

Jesus’ eyes are like fire. They consume and penetrate and burn through us. They see right through our hearts.

His feet are like brass. He’s steady, solid, and He’s the King, and He’s not going anywhere.

19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

Jesus is pleased with the Church, they work hard, they have love, service, faith… and their works keep growing. Jesus is pleased with everything except for a few things thing. It tolerates Jezebel.

20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication , and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

In the New Covenant Jezebel calls herself a prophetess. She is tolerated by the Church, they let her teach God’s servants how to commit fornication and eat food sacrificed to idols. What’s the best way to teach? By example.

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.

This is very serious. He gave her time to repent. But if she doesn’t, she will get sick, those that commit adultery with her will go into great tribulation unless they repent. Her children (so called spiritual fruit) will be killed with death. All the Churches will know the Jesus is not playing and His eyes are like fire, and they can’t hide.

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.

Jezebel’s doctrine is satanic, and very serious.

25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come *. 26 And he that overcometh , and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers : even as I received of my Father. 28 And I will give him the morning star. 29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

If you overcome Jezebel, you will have a lot of authority over nations.

So let’s talk briefly about how the Church in Detroit has tolerated Jezebel, and how the Church can turn its heart back to God.

She teaches fornication. Naturally, fornication is having sex with someone other than your wife. Spiritually, its worshipping idols other than the Creator. These idols could be represented by power and influence or money and productivity (which is related to Baal, the OT Jezebel’s idol).

She teaches God’s servants how to eat food that has been sacrificed to idols. Naturally, this could be a piece of chicken that has been branded by Lucifer’s Chicken Shack. Spiritually, it could be a piece of music (an inanimate creation of God) that has been married to lyrics that worship false Gods.

Jezebel teaches God’s servants by example how to mix with the world, fornicate, and eat food (music) that has been sacrificed to idols. She does this as a minister from inside the church because they tolerate her.

Do you see the adultery in the church? Is there anyone who can see this happening? Yesterdays countdown was about Judgement beginning in the house of God because We Have All the Authority and We are Already on Top, even when we don’t realize it. People are dying, people are being exposed as adulterers, there is divorce all over the church. And we don’t know that its because Jesus is judging Jezebel.

Are you tired of seeing all the “top” gospel artists and big time preachers divorcing, committing adultery, partnering with unbelievers spiritually, copying and following secular artists,  and copying unGodly business principles? The natural adultery and fornication only represents the spiritual adultery and fornication. They teach Jezebels doctrine by example… they say they do it to reach more people but Jesus sees through that lie. It may be thru ignorance, but its inspired by Jezebel for money and power. We need to repent and stop tolerating it. It more serious than we think, and its spiritually satanic, and its all our fault.

If that’s not enough for you to believe, wait until I share more info on this blog and in the dreams and testimony… When you bear fruit, God’s Word prunes you so that you can bear even more fruit! Even as a gospel dj, there are songs (even scriptural songs) that I played 3 months ago – that I won’t play now, because I fear God and I have a clearer view of Jezebels doctrine.

One morning a few weeks ago my wife had an open vision of some old, wooden doors opening and closing. We knew that God was opening and closing doors, but we didn’t really know the full interpretation. However, that same day, we ended up at the Motown Museum. I’ve lived in Detroit over 20 years and I’ve never been there, but all the sudden I was there that day because family came in from out of town and wanted to visit it!

Soon we understood that the doors God was closing was the door of God’s Levites being stolen from the Church. All the young musicians from God’s Church were seduced into singing for Money and Adultery. Motown’s first hit was “Money” That’s What I want. Their second hit was “Shop Around.” The Beatles first hit was a remix of “Money” That’s What I Want, written by Motown. The international, multiracial, and multi-genre influence of Motown is unfathomable. But it all came from God’s Levites being stolen from His Church.

God is closing those doors, and He’s opening the doors to the House of Prayer where God will be worshipped by His Levites, by God’s House becoming a house of prayer for all nations. A pure song that isn’t inspired by idolatry is soon to come. We won’t tolerate the secular remixes, or the regurgitations of idolatry in the church. Originality and Creativity is coming into God’s House of Prayer for All Nations, for we will worship and focus on the Creative God Who is Beautiful and Set Apart to Himself as His Own Purpose (Holy).

In the past few weeks, I’ve been there 3 times with different prayer groups from DaHOP, Burn, The Call, etc… More revelations, worship, and declarations come every time. We are excited that Jesus Christ is marching back into His temple, whipping out the money changers, turning over the tables, and taking God’s Levites back to sing a song that is Holy to the Lord and building Detroit into a House of Prayer, a City of Praise and Public Worship.

I will be sharing more of the research and scriptures on repenting from Toleration of Jezebel this Friday. We will be seeking to achieve the great repentance that is necessary to turn our city and nation around at DaHOP on Friday nights. Join us. Daniel turned a nation repenting and praying all by himself! So if 3 of you come and join us on Fridays leading up to The Call and join us at The Call in TRUE REPENTANCE…. What could happen in our nation?

Make your way to Detroit on 11-11-11 for The Call. Pray with us. Join people all over Detroit that are fasting and praying in preparation for God to do something BIG in our city, nation, and world… NOW. Yes, NOW.

We Already Have the Authority | Countdown to The Call Detroit 11-11-11: Day 39 –

WE ALREADY HAVE ALL THE AUTHORITY

The Authority of the Believer.

We really have it! We are already on top. In Matthew 16 Jesus gave Peter the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. He said

18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

When I teach on binding and loosing I don’t mean yelling at demons. I mean what we allow and disallow with our mouths, but especially with our ACTIONS.

From what Jesus Christ has said: we are not trying to get authority, we already have authority.

In Matthew 28:19, Jesus said that All power is given unto me… therefore YOU go… Why would He tell US to do something with the power that HE has. Because we are in Him, of course. The Body of Christ collectively. This makes total sense, especially combined with Matthew 16:19 and Luke 10:19.

Luke 10:19 – power to tread on power of enemy (I GIVE YOU)

Matthew 16:19 – keys to the Kingdom of heaven (I GIVE YOU)

I am NOT saying that as individuals we have all power over heaven and earth. I am saying that Jesus Christ has given us authority in Him.

The question becomes: What are we doing with our authority? Are we obeying Christ, or are we disobeying Christ? What has the church been allowing (loosing) on earth, that has now been loosed in heaven (the atmosphere over the earth)? What has the church refused to tolerate (binding) that subsequently been bound in heaven (the atmosphere over the earth)?

What we say goes… even if we don’t quite understand it. What we tolerate gets spiritual power. What we don’t tolerate loses spiritual power. If we as the Church want to change our cities and regions, it all starts with us. So many times we look up to government, media, entertainment, etc… When we should be looking down. Not looking down out of pride or becaue we are better than anyone else. But simply because Jesus put us on top. We need to lift these areas up.

So many times, we point the finger of blame at unbelievers, when its all our fault. Our frustration should not be with ubelievers, but our frustration should be with ourselves for giving unbelievers power to do what they do. My wife says all the time “If Christians didn’t support wickedness, wickedness would fail.” If everyone who claimed to be a Christian stopped supporting wicked entertainment, then wicked entertainment would not be successful. I don’t have the time to get into that on this blog, but that’s just the natural side. I was guilty of this myself as a teenager.

On the spiritual side, its undebatable! Why does abortion thrive? Because we allowed family planning to become acceptable. We gave the devil an inch in the church and he took a mile in the culture eeeeeasy. Why do half of marriages end in divorce? Because we do it in the church. Why is adultery and fornication rampant in our culture? Because of the spiritual adultery and spiritual fornication in the church. Then we point the finger at the government and at unbelievers when we haven’t cleaned up the Church.

Don’t get me wrong, I”m not saying that we can’t correct people that are unbelievers… But our main focus should be purifying the Church. I pray for our President and think he’s a cool person. But my main frustration with Obama is NOT with Obama, its with people in the Church that agree with him rather than searching for biblical principles of government. My frustration with Republican candidates is not against them personally… Its with Christians who think that Republican = Christian and don’t even search or second-guess the standard Republican ideas, which are not all necessarily correct according to scripture. I was guilty of this myself until i started finding out a more balanced and biblical view from a liberty perspective.

My main frustration with with wicked artists, wicked movies, etc… is not them (they don’t know any better). My frustration is with the Christians who support them and follow them and prop them up helping them poison our culture and make Harvesting Souls more difficult. We need PURITY in the Church because we have way more power than we think. We actually have ALL authority in heaven and earth, but we are just using it wrong. We are actually On Top Already. If we REPENT, its game over… the devil has no more of a chance. We need to protest ourselves.

Case in point: I know a lot of people that moved to Atlanta from Detroit. One of the things that I always heard about when I talk to them is the gay population that is really flourished and aggressive. I used to wonder, since when is Atlanta know for gay black men? There are other cities with lots of black people that are not necessarily “gay capitals.” Then when I heard about the famous Atlanta preacher sexually abusing boys… I got the connection – OHHH, the Church loosed that in Atlanta. You know what else… 30 days before, there was a solemn assembly of fasting, repentance and preaching that even prepared the way for that sin to be revealed. The Church bound it, and it was bound. Will the Church in Atlanta continue to purify?

What if the solution to our city gang problems was Unity in the Church instead of the wars of words?

What if the solution to abortion was us accepting all the Children the Lord gave us instead of buying the lie that children are a loss instead of a profit? I was guilty of this myself in the first few months of my marriage.

What if the solution to protecting marriage was the Church protecting our marriages, and stopping the spiritual adultery that looses the physical adultery?

What if the solution to cultural pollution was purifying the worship in our own Churches, building a house of prayer and keeping God’s Levites employed in that work day and night?

What if the solution to racism was desegregating the Body of Christ?

Judgement begins in the house of God (1 Peter 5)… We ALREADY have the authority, we have just been using it all wrong. We need to REPENT and turn our hearts to God. What we bind is bound, and what we loose is loosed. We need to Purify the Bride of Christ so that she can bind the wrong things and loose the right things in the Body of Christ, on earth. THEN it will be bound and loosed in the atmospheres over our cities.

This is just a short spur of the moment blog, so be gentle when poking holes in my arguments :-).  I will be sharing more of the research and scriptures on this topic in the near future. We will be seeking to achieve the great repentance that is necessary to turn our city and nation around at DaHOP on Friday nights. Join us. Daniel turned a nation repenting and praying by himself! So if 3 of you come and join us on Fridays leading up to The Call and join us at The Call in TRUE REPENTANCE…. What could happen in our nation?

Make your way to Detroit on 11-11-11 for The Call. Pray with us. Join people all over Detroit that are fasting and praying in preparation for God to do something BIG in our city, nation, and world… NOW. Yes, NOW.

VICTORY OVERCOMES

VICTORY OVERCOMES

1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Jesus Christ is God and King, and obedience to His commandments brings you Victory over the world, since He is the King of the World. But since He is currently waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool, it takes faith to make this victory happen  

4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Let’s separate two elements of this scripture:

  1. Whatever is born of God overcomes the world.
  2. The victory that overcomes the world is our faith.

First you get victory through faith. Then, that victory overcomes the world by faith. Where does that faith come from? Its born from God.

Let’s resynthesize the elements of this scripture:

Whatever faith, belief, vision, confession, saying, profession, ministry, obedient action… that is born from, conceived from, originated from God the Father in Heaven… IS the VICTORY that is designed to overcome, conquer, and gain supremacy over… the world’s system, the world’s ways, the worlds sinful methods and strategies that originated in satan, sin, and the prince of this world.

Say “Lah.”

The faith that GOD gave you will always overcome the sinful ways and methods of the world. It’s a guarantee! But you must actively believe and confess it, and it must be born and originated from God.

Say “Lah” again…

Then say “HallelujaH, God I thank you for an original faith and vision given from you, not from my own mind or satan! I will continue to work the faith in Christ that you have given me, and watch it overcome the sinful ways of the world.”

On Adultery and Hypocrisy in Christian Artists and Leaders

On Adultery and Hypocrisy in Christian Artists and Leaders

As long as the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has been in existence, there have been false converts, weak brethren, false apostles, as well as honest believers that make mistakes. We all have been sinners at one time, and we still fight against sin.

There are plenty of pastors with children by different women in “their” congregation, and plenty of Christian artists that don’t live what they sing.

Even King David himself slept with his neighbor’s wife, and then killed her husband. However, God had mercy on Him, because David confessed and forsook his sin. Even then, David reaped exactly what he sowed. His own daughter was raped by his own son, then one of his sons killed the other… Then the son that killed the other son tried to kill him and takeover the kingdom! And his baby died. David had a brutal family life because of what he allowed into his family (2nd Samuel).

God is merciful and he will forgive you personally… (David was still considered  righteous, and a man after God’s own heart, because of his repentant heart and faith in God’s mercy) but you will still reap what you sow! That’s an Immutable Spiritual Law.

7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8: For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Galatians 6

Spirtual Law #2 – Confession and Exposure

Another scriptural promise that we should all be aware of is this: Whatever is done in secret will be seen in the light…

Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2: For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3: Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

Luke 12:1

You CANNOT HIDE ANYTHING! It’s a spiritual principle! All sin is the result of believing a lie. One of the biggest and simplest lies satan tells you is that you are powerful enough to keep sin a secret. Its IMPOSSIBLE. The longer you delay confession the worse it gets for you.

This is why you must confess your sins. The bible says whoso hides their sins will not prosper or be successful at it or anything else… But whoso confess and forsakes shall have MERCY.

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

Proverbs 28

This is why I personally try to catch my sins in the thought stage, before they turn into words and actions. I know that God isn’t just on the outside of me, He’s inside of me looking at the video screen playing in my mind! If I notice myself lusting, or even cursing or saying non-blessings in my head, I’ll confess it to God while its still in my head. Otherwise, I know that I will reap what I sow, and I will not be able to hide it. It will be shouted from the rooftops and airwaves. Another benefit of doing this is that it builds intimacy, closeness and openness with God.

Ministry and Music

Do we throw away the Psalms because David sinned? No. Even the chapters before Psalms 51 are still scripture.

Do we throw away Proverbs because Solomon didn’t obey them? No.

Its the same thing with Christian music… If its Word-based, then its anointed by God. The Word of God is anointed. It’s our job to obey it and live it.

I always judge music by the lyrics. If I hear about a Christian artist that has sinned, I simply pray that they are restored, and have peace and righteousness in their life. Yes, I do get disappointed… but that doesn’t mean their music was ungodly.

BREAKING NEWS: UPDATED WITH NEW REVELATION and a Behind The Scenes Look at How even some SCRIPTURAL MUSIC is Rooted in Idolatry.

Non Christians LOVE to see bold saints fall into sin, and they love to call them hypocrites, because they think it gives them an excuse not to love or believe in God at all.

BUT when judgment day comes, everyone will stand before God and be judged by God, and their own conscience will give witness that they are wicked without Christ’s mercy. There will be no excuses except the grace and mercy of Christ.

Instead of scoffing and laughing at Christians, professional sinners should tremble. Judgement only begins in the house of God (1 Peter), it doesn’t end there! When non-Christians see believers being exposed, they should not be haughty… They should actually fear God, and be careful to repent, because that means judgment is coming even harder and quicker for them! God always purifies HIS people first before the ungodly get theirs.

17: For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18: And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

1 Peter 4

Hypocrite – definition

1. one who answers, an interpreter

2. an actor, stage player

3. a dissembler, pretender, hypocrite

A hypocrite is simply a person who is not true. They are actors in real life. Remember that Jesus said in Luke 12:1, the doctrine of the Pharisees was hypocrisy. They were actors and professional pretenders. They were pretending in real life!

Jesus promised that if you are a pretender… the truth will definitely come out. It’s a spiritual law.

Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2: For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3: Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

Luke 12:1

So here is the option: you will either confess the sins, or it will be shouted from the housetops. Either way, there is nothing hidden. Exposure is inevitable! There is no need to gossip or spread rumors, because eventually, it will be heard in the light!

Judgmental?

Some people like to say that if you preach the Truth, you are being judgmental… and somehow that causes you to be a hypocrite. Please read this scripture aloud.

9: Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10: Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11: And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

1 Cor 7

Well, is reading that scripture aloud judgmental? The issue is not the whether we can speak the Truth or not; the issue is: are we living the Truth, or being actors in real life?

Now on to solutions…

How not to Be an Actor in the Kingdom

Avoid Pride in Real Practical Ways

Sin gets in under pride… We put artists and popular ministers on a pedestal, when they should be equal (not just theologically, but practically). They don’t have good accountability and fellowship. They are put on a pedestal and cannot have shoulder to shoulder fellowship with saints, because they are on a higher plane… and always by themselves on a plane. Keep a true Kingdom lifestyle of humility, fellowship, and brotherhood. Make yourself equal to the “lowest” brother in you know in a practical way.

Don’t Be Contentious

One evidence of pride is contention (Proverbs 13:10). A minister or artist is beefing with someone, or in strife, and that’s how satan gets in. Satan also gets into marriages by pride, then contention. If you feel like you are in a contentious fight with someone, humble yourself and let them win. Speak the truth and your belief and move on.

Travel with Your Wife

We need to do the simple things like travel with our wives. Peter and the other apostles who were married (1 Corinthians 9:5) did this. If you don’t have a wife, bring your teammate. The new Testament is full of lists of Paul’s teammates; most of them were NOT his peons, slaves, or armor-bearers… most were his co-laborers, co-apostles, and brothers. Jesus didn’t even start His ministry until he had a team. Ministry is TEAMwork!

Fast Weekly

People don’t really obey Christ Jesus’s command to fast that much. If you are heavy in ministry you need to be heavy in fasting. Even if you’re not doing a lot of preaching you should be fasting regularly as a part of the kingdom lifestyle as a regular believer. (Matthew 6, Matthew 9:15). Fasting is brutal for your flesh, it helps keep you disciplined, and it just simply multiplies the grace on your life.

Get Off the Stage
Go house-to-house, not just stage to stage. Teach your sphere of influence to live the lifestyle of the Kingdom of God. Teach whatever scriptures you learn on a weekly basis. Do bible studies. Throw house parties. Host prayer meetings. People need brotherhood, house-to-house fellowship, and lifestyle discipleship, not just stage-to-stage-to-stage-to-stage ministry. Those days are officially over. Stage-to-stage ministry alone leaves people empty and immature as professional spectators. And by itself, it keeps you an actor on a stage.

Keep it 50/50
Match your ministry-to-others time with your ministry-to-the-Lord time. If you are hosting a 3 hour event, first minister to the Lord in your closet for 3 hours. You can call it “50/50.” This will keep you balanced.

This world is corrupt, our sin nature is real, and the devil is on the attack. But our Faith is the Victory that overcomes the World! In the Blood of Jesus Victory is guaranteed.

More Solutions

One of best books I’ve ever read on adultery, fornication, and marriage is “Why Some Christians Commit Adultery.” It has been recently republished as “Why Good People Mess Up” This book is detailed, deep, but surprisingly quick, easy to read, and full of real life stories.  It talks about spiritual defilement, voyeurism, masturbation, psychological adultery, transference of spirits, dating, cultural strongholds, and much more!

Quick Message to Kingdom Promoters

Quick Tips for Kingdom Promoters

I am Truly THANKFUL to God for all of the Kingdom Promoters promoting Jesus thru live events and music!

Most people would think that a bunch of promoters would be jealous and competitive. But in the Kingdom of God it is the opposite!

We rejoice because the gospel of Christ is preached! (Phil 1) We can reach our entire state and nation for Christ if we operate NOT as one organization, but as one Mind and one Spiritual Body.

I encourage you all to:

Keep Faith First

– Use your promotion (message, music, and marketing) to preach the gospel. Do not hide the gospel to increase your promotion. The gospel is the power of God (Rom 1:16). If you use parables, then interpret them so that the meaning is clear, so you can make disciples (Matthew 13). Don’t ever sell out Jesus Christ. Our shield of faith is always up front for protection.

Preach and OutReach

– Hit the streets and promote the gospel of Christ. Always invite nonbelievers that you don’t know. Give away free stuff and do volunteer and outreach ministry.

Go House to House

– Teach your sphere of influence to live the lifestyle of the Kingdom of God. Teach whatever scriptures you learn on a weekly basis. Do bible studies. Throw house parties. Host prayer meetings. People need brotherhood, house-to-house fellowship, and lifestyle discipleship, not just stage-to-stage-to-stage-to-stage ministry. Those days are officially over. Stage-to-stage ministry alone leaves people empty and immature as professional spectators.

Stay 50/50

– Match your ministry-to-others time with your ministry-to-the-Lord time. If you are hosting a 3 hour event, first minister to the Lord in your closet for 3 hours. You can call it “50/50.” This will keep you balanced.

God Bless You to Be Fruitful and Multiply!

Jesus Christ Ministry Techniques

Jesus Christ Ministry Techniques

Some of God’s people nowadays have really good intentions, but are mistakenly trying to be smarter than God. We’ve also got a lot of compromise & covetousness in “ministry”. We have people singing and preaching a compromised message. As a result of the compromised message they end up committing spiritual adultery with the world and practicing idolatry (See what Jesus said concerning Jezebel in Revelations 2).  If they don’t repent, Jesus will kill them with death and put her followers into great tribulation.

Let’s go back and take a look at Jesus’ first message.

After he officially started his ministry (at a wedding), the first public thing he did was overturn temple, rebuking false people in religious authority (John 2:14-15).

What was Jesus’ first message?

14: Now after that John was put in prison [the spirit of Ahab and Jezebel HATES the spirit of John the Baptist/Elijah], Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15: And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Mark 1

We’ll talk more about John the Baptist later, but let’s look at the specifics of Jesus’ message:

1. Time is fulfilled – urgency, time awareness

2. Kingdom of God is here. – New level of Authority is here

3. Repent – turn, change your mind and ways… implying that what you are doing now is wrong

4. Believe good news – the Truth is good news and will leave you better off than you are now

Look at the record of His first message in the book of Matthew.

Matthew 1:17 From that time Jesus BEGAN to preach and to say Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Did Jesus say, let me heal everybody first and build my relationships before I ease in the repentance message maybe sometime later? – NO.

Did Jesus try to attract as many people as possible with a positive and non-confrontational message, and then bring conviction and repentance into the picture afterwards? – NO.

Did Jesus try to get as many fans as possible first, or try to gain influence through relationships with influential sinners… and then bring the hard message of repentance in slowly after his platform was already set? – NO.

Jesus BEGAN His ministry message with repentance. Repentance means turn from what you are doing now, implying that what you are doing now is wrong. That brings a feeling of guilt and conviction.

Did Jesus have love? Yes.

Did Jesus show love to all? Yes.

Did Jesus heal people and cast out demons and do miracles? Yes.

Did Jesus meet peoples natural and physical and emotional needs? Yes.

Did Jesus hide the truth and save the hard message of repentance until later – after he had done everything else first? – NO.

Actually, it was reversed. Jesus did the healing and relationship-building after people knew what He stood for and pointedly preached. He preached repentance from sin and the Kingdom of God. Most of the people who came to Him were already humbled by the message of repentance.

People love to acknowledge that Jesus ate with sinners, but let’s also acknowledge that those sinners were repenting due to the message that Jesus was actually preaching. I’m not saying you have to clean yourself up before you come to Christ. I am saying there is a humility that you take when coming before God. There always has, and there always will. God only hangs with humble people (James 5, 1 Peter 5). That’s why preaching repentance is primary, if you really want people to get to God.

When Jesus preached, the only non-repentant people were the Pharisees… They had their own religious beliefs that prevented them from feeling the need to repent. They came to attack Jesus, and they got attacked back with Truth.

The people that fight the message of repentance (change towards God) and holiness – Gods purpose in everything – are normally the people who are comfortable in their very-own, personally invested, religious tradition.

Let’s look at the forerunner of Jesus – John the Baptist. This was the prophet called to introduce people to Jesus. What did he preach?

Repent!

…the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3: And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins…Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?…
8: Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9: And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10: And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11: He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
12: Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13: And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14: And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

Luke 3

He preached the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins (Cancer that is in remission is not active). He demanded proof and results of repentance. Not only was John direct, he was also specific and bossy!

Let’s go back to Jesus… Whom did Jesus get most of his initial disciples from? They were initially followers of John the Baptist, who had repented with John’s Baptism of Repentance. John the Baptist prepared many people to receive Jesus Christ by preaching repentance.

Most of the people that rejected John’s message also rejected Jesus. Most of the people that received John’s message also ended up receiving Jesus’ message; even way later after Jesus died & rose again (See Acts 19:3-5, Acts 18:25). So how people respond to the message of repentance is a clue to how they will eventually respond to Jesus.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t preach holiness or repentance, that all you can do is build relationships and hope that people will maybe sometime repent later. You don’t have to be mean, but you do have to be clear. Relationship evangelism is good, but you don’t have to hide holiness and repentance.

 

21: Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22: And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Jude 1

On some have compassion… save some with fear and hatred. (Not hatred of the people, but hatred of sin).

Why did Jesus tell parables?

Let’s look at what Jesus Himself said about His parables:

10: And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11: He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12: For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13: Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14: And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15: For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
16: But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

Matthew 13

34: All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
35: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
36: Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

Matthew 13

In other words: Jesus told parables to the hardhearted, spiritually dull, and rebellious who had already rejected His previous message of repentance.

If you only tell parables, you might as well just say “Go to Hell.”

After Jesus told parables to the masses, He then INTERPRETED parables to His DISCIPLES. Then when He died on the cross and rose from the dead, He told His disciples to go MAKE MORE DISCIPLES.

He did not tell them to go minister parables and make lots of money, but to go make more disciples. Those disciples would then pass on the CLEAR INTERPRETATION to make more disciples.

So the key to ministry with parables is not the parable, but it is the CLEAR INTERPRETATION. If you are telling parables without giving the CLEAR and Direct INTERPRETATION of the parable – you are not following Jesus Christ Ministry Techniques for making disciples.

I encourage you – don’t just speak the language of the world – bring them into the concepts of the Kingdom of God.

TO SUM IT UP

There’s nothing wrong with building relationships and having compassion. There’s also nothing wrong with harsh warnings and repentance preaching. Mature, Spirit-led Christians use BOTH, not just one or the other. When it comes to “ministry”, the greatest example is Jesus Christ the King.

Also, realize that there are many different personality types, ministry styles, gifts, and callings. Don’t let anyone squash yours. Be yourself and do what God has built you and instructs you to do. Above all, obey God.

Unmistakeable Proof that Jay Z, Beyonce, and Rihanna are following satan | God LOVES Jay Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, Omarion, Timbaland, and others…

Unmistakeable Proof that Jay Z, Beyonce, and Rihanna are following satan | God LOVES Jay Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, Omarion, Timbaland, and others…

Wherever you see sin and idolatry in entertainment, you can be sure that demonic activity and satan worship is present. Not just the blatant-satan worshippers, but all fornicators (adulterers) and covetous music (money lovers), which is idolatry.

Whoever said entertainment is not spiritual is a lie. Jay Z knows and admits that he follows Lucifer. Beyonce’ literally admits demon possession and cries out for a savior in her interviews and songs… pray for theIr REPENTENCE and SALVATION.

Let’s pray for those that are trapped by the enemy. Let us also expose truth and light so that people can free themselves from connection to darkness. There is a whole generation of men who idolize Jay Z, and a whole generation of women who idolize Beyonce’.

In this article you will see various links that will expose the language, patterns, and symbols that prove the open and outright devil worship that the music of Jay Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, Omarion, and others is inspiring around the globe. Language, patterns, and symbols are signs of intelligence, and signs of a designer. To deny the truth after seeing it is preposterous and self-condemning.

God’s LOVE is amazingly powerful. He LOVES Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rihanna and all the other idol and demon worshippers that create and listen to their music. He loves them enough to rescue them as soon as they call upon the name of Jesus Christ with sincerity.

Jesus died, and He rose from the dead to prove He has the original power over death. He is the only King of all Kings, and His Blood is powerful enough to pay the price for your sins and the sins of all humans. As long as you are not dead yet, it’s not too late to turn around!

27: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Hebrews 9

That means if you are not dead yet, you haven’t faced judgment yet. You can still turn to depend on Jesus Christ the only Messiah and King.

God can save you if you love this kind of music, but did not know that it was the deception of the devil seducing you slowly into devil worship. No demon has the right to your soul until you die and face judgment.

Proof that Jay Z is a Luciferian Mason:

Watch the whole series (11 videos) if you have time: These 5 are just some of the eyeopeners that show Jay Z openly confessing Luciferian principles and the philosophy of satan worshippers.

Many people don’t want me to talk about this, and expose the light. But God said:

11:  Have NO FELLOWSHIP with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather REPROVE them. (dont just be quiet about it)

12: For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13: But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

Ephesians 5

Reprove: elegcho (greek)

  1. to convict, refute, confute
    1. generally with a suggestion of shame of the person convicted
    2. by conviction to bring to the light, to expose
  2. to find fault with, correct
    1. by word
      1. to reprehend severely, chide, admonish, reprove
      2. to call to account, show one his fault, demand an explanation
    2. by deed
      1. to chasten, to punish

God also said this:

22: And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Jude 1

With some people you can have compassion and show them the difference between righteousness and unrighteousness. With others it takes fear and hatred of sin. Whatever it takes, you need to rescue yourself and then rescue others.

You can take authority over your soul by speaking and confessing the KINGship of Jesus Christ every chance you get. You also need to consistently renounce all demon inspired music and entertainment out loud. Satan is the father of liars and all lies. If it seems harmless, but the source is not God, it’s probably a lie. Don’t be lazy. Seek truth and facts and sources.

If catchy satanic songs like these get stuck in your head you may even want to remix them out loud with choruses and verses about Jesus Christ the Messiah. Take authority over your own soul.

If you want to be a follower of Christ, please know that time for Him to return is close. It is the last days. Make time to pray and separate your mind from wicked entertainment. Baptize yourself in the presence of God, the Word of God, Godly music, and turn off the TV. You also want to be extreme in your devotion to prayer and fellowship with believers in Christ all throughout the week, not just Sunday. Fasting is powerful as well.

Persecution is a form of the MERCY of God

The Value of Persecution

Persecution is a form of the MERCY of God

 

Homosexual marriage crusades, Government enforced infanticide, violent massacres, talk of one world government and currency to fix a created “crisis…” The daily news sounds like a prophecy from the bible! Are you READY for the times? Or are you just waiting to disappear?

 

Jesus said to watch and pray that you enter not into temptation. But nobody ever really teaches the SPECIFIC temptation that he was talking about. Read this message and get prepared to renew your mind!

 

Persecution is a form of the Mercy of God

 

Why? It separates you from those who are about to get judged by God. Let’s take a look at some of the wicked systems that will be destroyed by God very soon.

 

Babylon the Great Whore Gets Destroyed

 

4: And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5: For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Revelations 18

 

In this scripture, God is telling his people to come out of the system of Babylon the Great Whore (a personification of the one-world economic and religious system) that is filled with sin. In this same chapter we see that she (Babylon) kills the saints. The love of money is the root of all evil. (1 Timothy)

 

24: And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Revelation 18

 

In this chapter we see that God is punishing this system with death and destruction.

All the false religions that have persecuted and killed people all over the world including: extreme Islamists, Buddhists, Communists, crooked businesses, and wicked governments, dictators, etc… will be destroyed.

 

Take a look at Revelations 18. In it you will see that the Babylon system controls commerce and economies, products of all types, governments, kings, businessmen, entertainment, music, slaves, and the souls of humans.

 

Jesus is going to Kill Wicked Government Leaders!

 

Do you know that your Lord and Savior is going to literally kill thousands of people in the end of this time period? Some people will call me extreme for repeating what is in the Bible. We need to embrace the entire mission of our Savior in order to fully understand Him, and to help prevent people from falling into that judgment, the severity of God. Knowing the terror of the Lord motivates us to persuade men and speak the truth in love (2 Corinthians, Galatians 5).

 

5: The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6: He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.

Psalms 110     

 

The Lord will kill many government authorities (kings, prime ministers, presidents, dictators). He will fill places with dead bodies, and wound the heads over many countries. This is literally going to happen.

 

Ezekiel 37

11: And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog.
12: And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.

Ezekiel 39

 

This scripture in Ezekiel talks about a huge army from the North coming against Israel in the last days. Some say it will be the army of Russia and Iran. God will kill them all. God will kill so many people that they will have to hire people to bury them all, and it will take seven months to finish! This is a bible prophecy that has not happened yet. It will happen soon.

 

17: And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18: That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19: And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

Revelations 19

 

This scripture in Revelation describes the Battle of Armageddon. Lots of death will happen here. I’m sure you get the point by now. Let’s move on to a poignant question:

 

What if you were a part of the Wicked System?

 

What if you were a part of the Anti-Christ army that Jesus would eventually kill (upon His return)? What if you were drafted into an anti-Christ Army and they decided to go invade Jerusalem… or kill members of illegal house churches? Wouldn’t that suck!? What if you were a wicked business person that was a part of the Babylon system, or a false religion that worshipped your tribal God’s or idols?

 

The mercy of the Lord Jesus dying for your sins can forgive you of those sins and make you a part of God’s family. But there is another form of Gods mercy that separates Christians from participating in the sins of their nation and/or any system that they may be involved in. This mercy comes to all true believers who desire to live Godly. It’s called PERSECUTION!

 

When the unbelievers persecute you, they SEPARATE you from their company, so you don’t have to be judged by God along with them!

 

Persecution is like being pushed off a train track! Your response could be:

“Thanks, you should probably jump off too before that train comes!”

 

Persecution is like being pushed out the door of a burning building! Don’t worry about your knee getting scraped. Your response could be:

“Thanks, but you should probably leave too!”

 

Persecution is actually a form of MERCY. Persecution prevents you from participating in systems that will soon be judged by God. It’s God’s way of practically separating you from the judgment of the world. Your haters also get a chance to repent, when they see that you are not phased by their persecution. It also gets you a great reward.

 

22: Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
23: Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

Luke 6

 

This is one of the reasons Jesus said: “resist not evil.” This is one of the hardest parts of the Kingdom of God, but if we understand what is going on spiritually, it will help us to do it faithfully.

 

39: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40: And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

Matthew 5

 

Don’t be Terrified!

 

28: And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
29: For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

Philippians 1

 

Don’t be alarmed, or terrified by your enemies hating you or persecuting you for Christ’s sake. If you are unshaken by their persecution, it will be an evident sign of their impending doom, and a sign of your heavenly help and intervention from God! It will give them a chance to change.

 

It’s your responsibility to not only believe in Christ, but to suffer for his sake. Now that’s something you don’t hear in a lot of sermons! Yet, it’s all over the New Testament. If you believe and live according to the Word of God, you will suffer. Suffer what? You will suffer Persecution and Hatred from the devil and demonically inspired people. You will have victory in your God-given purpose, but you will have haters. Yes, it is a guarantee.

 

12: Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

2 Timothy 3

 

But what I want you to understand about persecution is that it is actually a BLESSING. It’s a form of Mercy from God, because it practically separates you from those who are doomed to judgment, and sets you up for a literal intervention of salvation from God.

 

Changing your mental understanding to embrace this particular type of suffering instead of avoiding it will make you a strong and fruitful Believer.

 

Never Avoid speaking the truth of Jesus in order to avoid being hated on for doing so.

 

Never Avoid doing what God’s Word says in order to avoid being left out, or talked about, or persecuted,

 

Always Support persecuted Christians that you see by praying for them, speaking out for them, and supporting them financially. Identify with them, being in the same Body as you. (Hebrews 12:3) This could mean supporting the Christian kid who gets talked about at school, praying for Chinese house churches, or giving to a ministry like Voice of the Martyrs.

 

Always Remember that persecution is a good thing. It’s a Form of God’s Mercy, and it’s a Blessing with great rewards. Renew your mind on the issue of suffering.

 

40: And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41: And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

Acts 5

 

Why did the apostles rejoice that they were beaten and abused for the cause of Christ? Were they weird, or just really excited? No, they were just not as SPIRITUALLY BLIND as you and I sometimes are. They had the spiritual eyesight to see the VALUE of what had just happened to them, and they were genuinely happy about it.

 

We cry when our Christian message doesn’t sell as much as a wicked one. We cry when people talk bad about us. They rejoiced when they were beaten and commanded by authorities not to do what they were doing.

 

Let’s see how the disciples learned this new mindset.

 

What’s the Biggest Temptation?

 

Before Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to pray that they enter not into temptation. They didn’t pray, so they all ended up entering into the temptation.

 

What was the temptation? The temptation that they entered into was to avoid persecution by denying Jesus to be accepted by the world (like Peter did), or actually joining in the persecution of Jesus to be a friend of the world (like Judas did).

 

Jesus told them to pray that they would resist entering the temptation to avoid suffering, which is persecution by a wicked system, which is a form of Gods Mercy to separate you from the judgment of that wicked system. The disciples did not pray, they slept, so they did not understand that concept, and they all ended up denying Jesus (entering into temptation). After the Resurrection, much prayer, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost they came understood Jesus’ Words and were changed.

 

So right now, take a few minutes and…

 

Pray that you would never enter into the temptation to refuse Gods Mercy and Blessing by avoiding persecution for your faith in God.

 

At God’s throne, Commit to always testifying of Jesus when it’s not popular.

 

Proclaim that persecution is an escape from a corrupt system that will soon be destroyed!

 

Proclaim that some of your greatest blessings from God come from when you are not accepted by man!

 

(Take your own five minute break here.)

 

Jesus succeeded in avoiding the temptation to avoid persecution, suffering, and death! Why? He prayed. When He prayed, He was very honest with the Father. He told God three times, that He wasn’t feeling the suffering, and asked Him to check out any other options to get the redemption accomplished… but ultimately He submitted and did His Father’s will.

 

…Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41: And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42: Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

Luke 22

 

The Significance of Flesh Sacrifice

 

Jesus was beaten till blood came out of every part of his body, with a cat of nine tails.

 

They put a crown of long, thick, thorns on his head, so blood was pouring down His face too.

 

They stuck nails through His hands and feet, and hung him on a tree. He died from not being able to breath, because his lungs were crushed by the weight of his body, because he couldn’t hold Himself up on the cross. His body lost too much blood.

 

At what point did He say, “It is finished?” It was at the point of His death. This was the point where He said “It is Finished.”

 

We know that afterward, He took the keys of hell and death (Rev. 1), and that his soul was not left in hell (Psalms 16). We know that in 3 days, He rose from the dead with all power. Those things are very important to the purpose of God. But when did He say it was finished? It was finished at the cross. It was already finished at the point of His death & suffering.

 

What was finished? Our redemption was finished! This was the point where He purchased you and I to be His partners, and the Church to be His Bride. His death was the point where it was finished. This was what He was looking forward to. The reason He died was accomplished right there at the point of His death.

 

Jesus suffered to be able to purchase us. We were the joy that was set before Him (Hebrews 12).

 

Why is it important to know at what point “It is finished?”

 

When you know the value, or reward of suffering for what is right, you are no longer afraid to suffer. When you realize that suffering is actually a form of mercy that separates you from a wicked system and leads to a greater reward, you will avoid the temptation to escape your persecution and suffering for righteousness. Jesus knew the reward for suffering; therefore He prayed that He would avoid the temptation to avoid suffering. Since Jesus suffered in this way, we can expect the same thing. He warned us of this repeatedly.

 

Yes anyone can suffer, but redeeming spiritual and supernatural power is manifested when the innocent suffers for what is right. People like Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Rosa Parks took this one principle and changed nations. What can we do with it? We can turn the world upside down (Acts 6)!

 

Don’t suffer for your disobedience, sin, or foolishness. Suffer for what is right.

 

19: For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20: For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21: For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

1 Peter 2

 

Follow Christ’s Example and Suffer in Your Flesh; It Will Help You Out!

 

1: Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

1 Peter 4

 

– When you resist satisfying the lust of your eyes, that’s a death to your flesh.

 

– When you resist satisfying your lust and desires for illicit sexual pleasure or excess food –- that is sacrificing your self.

 

– When someone persecutes you for Christ sake, or because you are not sinning, that’s a sacrifice that is well pleasing to God.

 

– When you make less money by testifying of Jesus than you could make by not testifying and committing your work to Jesus, then you are blessed even more by God.

 

Let’s Learn to Embrace Our Suffering Instead of Avoiding It. I’m NOT talking about suffering from sickness, or suffering because of your own sin, or from the results of being lazy or disobedient and unwise. Biblically, the ONLY suffering that is a blessing is the suffering that comes from righteous acts. Let’s pray that we don’t enter into temptation to avoid this form of Mercy from God.

4th Message:How to Rule the Nations and Governments!

A Message from Jesus to Excellent Christians Dealing with a Seducing Spirit of Compromise

(Thyatira) Revelation 2:18-29

Jesus describes Himself to this Church:

“He that says these things is:

1.The SON of GODI’m GOD, not just a man. I’m on another level, different, and separate. My ways and thoughts and agenda is different than man’s.

2.With EYES like FLAMES of FIRE… My eyes are active and full of energy. Flames don’t stand still; they are active, powerful, and energetic. That’s the way I see and look at my Church.

3.With FEET like fine BRASS… Brass is heavy and solid. Jesus is not going anywhere! I will stand my ground in my Church, unmoveable and steadfast. Anything that is against me will not push me out, I will push it out!

Jesus is intimately acquainted with and understands this group of Christians’:

1.Works – They had good works, which is the first thing Jesus looks at with His Churches.

2.Charity – They had Charity, which is the greatest thing, and bond of maturity and perfection.

3.Service – They served well.

4.Faith – They were strong in faith, which is precious to God. They weren’t weak in faith.

5.Patience – They also were patient and longsuffering.

6.Works – the last works are more than the first works.

So according to Jesus, this is a very good and excellent Church. Not only did they do good works, they were commended twice for their works, and the last was better than the first. So they were getting better and better! They “had it going on.”

PROBLEMS:

Even with all that excellence and good works, Jesus has a few things AGAINST this group of Christians because they ALLOW Jezebel, a false prophetess to teach and seduce HIS servants to:

1.Commit fornication

2.Eat food (harmless things) sacrificed to idols.

Jesus keeps having BEEF with the same issues: fornication & idolatry. Or, better yet: “allowing the teaching and promoting” of fornication & idolatry.

He hates the doctrine of Balaam which puts a stumbling block and tricks people into fornication & idolatry.

He hates the Nicolaitan doctrine that conquers and corrupts people into idolatry and fornication.

Now He hates the allowing of Jezebel to teach and seduces His servants into fornication and idolatry with the world.

(See 3 Main Doctrines that Jesus Hates).

Why does JESUS HATE fornication and idolatry so much? Why does He keep emphasizing these things? Fornication is sexual activity outside of marriage. Idolatry is spiritual adultery. Adultery is a sexual relationship outside of your marriage. Spiritually, it’s anything you put before your relationship with God. THIS IS A RELATIONSHIP ISSUE! What is your relationship with God?

Realize that Jesus’s greatest relationship with His Church is that of a Bridegroom to a Bride!

THE REAL ISSUE

If your fiance’ or betrothed spouse was having sex with someone else, how would you feel?

Well, that’s how fornication and spiritual adultery (idolatry) makes JESUS feel. Jesus loves you and He wants you exclusively. He doesn’t want to marry a prostitute/whore. He forgives prostitutes and spiritual whores like we were, then asks us to love Him exclusively.

Spiritually, Jesus wants us to be faithful to Him as a spouse, not “leaving our first love” (like the Ephesus Church in the 1st Message), or allowing fornication and adultery (like Pergamos in the 3rd Message, and like this Thyatira Church). It all comes back to JESUS’s PASSIONATE LOVE AND DESIRE FOR YOUR SOUL. He LIKES YOU!

Back to the 4th Message:

REPERCUSSIONS

“I gave her (Jezebel) space to repent of her fornication, but she wouldn’t.” God gives compromising teachers in the Church time, space and chances to turn around and do something different. Evidently this false prophetess is really rebellious.

1.“I will cast her into a bed, and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.” Jesus will put Jezebel and other adulterers with her into much trouble. But he still is merciful and gives them time to change.

2.I will kill her children with death.” Children born by her will die. Those spiritual “babies” that the Church allows her to teach will be killed, by Jesus.

3.All the Churches will know that I am He who searches the reins (thoughts & purposes of the soul) and hearts, and I will reward everyone for their works.” This is where you see Jesus’ initial self-description come back. “When they see what I do to compromisers, all the Churches will know that my flaming fiery eyes can see everything inside their hearts, and that I don’t back down from MY purposes. You will reap what you sow.”

Jesus is a BOSS.

Jesus doesn’t just look at appearances… (whether you are in Church or not and how your life appears on the outside). He sees your heart! Be faithful to Him only!

AS FOR THE REST OF YOU:

To the rest of you who are NOT running with Jezebel, and aren’t teaching the compromising doctrine (which is from Satan)… You all just keep doing what you are doing until I come back. You all are doing very excellently – just keep up the good works!

PROMISES:

If you excellent Christians: ignore the seductions of Jezebel – who tries to preach & prophesy you into relationships with idols, false gods, and sexual activity outside of marriage… AND you keep up the good works until the END:

1.I will give you POWER OVER NATIONS, You will rule them with a rod of Iron and will break them like clay pots.”That means that when Jesus comes back to the earth, He will set you in Authority over a country, or a few countries & nations. You will rule them, and He will have you break down former the government systems and infrastructures… and they will have to SUBMIT to Jesus through YOU!

2.And I will give Him the MORNING STAR. You will get authority over a star that is like the sun. An abundance of light, power, and energy is in it.

To any excellent Christians with political ambitions: Jesus can give you Political power and Power over light & energy. All you have to do is be excellent, and overcome the compromising spirit of Jezebel.

If you have a spiritual ear to hear, please pay attention to the deeper meanings that the Spirit of God is trying to get across to many different groups of Christians.

We all know that only Jesus can solve the biggest problems of the world right now (economic, oil, energy, war). Men may try to get together and accomplish progress. Progress is always good – but as long as mankind is sinful by nature, man will mess things up. That’s why Jesus is coming soon, literally and physically! He can give you the authority over NATIONS. Do you want to be on Jesus’ International Dominion team? Overcome the spiritual compromises of Jezebel!
