I have spoken much about Fr. Chad Ripperger’s book, “Deliverance Prayers for Use by the Laity”; in the back of his book, there are three appendices, one of which deals with the very lengthy list of vices/sins/spirits that humans have dealt with since the Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden.
SIN is a very real part of the human life, but most ignore it, don’t believe in it, or if they do state they believe in the Triune Godhead of the Holy Scriptures, some still have very real issues in coming to terms with the very real SPIRITUAL REALM that is written throughout the OT and NT.
The word “SIN” occurs in 390 verses in the ESV–104 times alone in the NT; 389 in the KJV. So obviously, the LORD God wants us to realize that there are serious issues regarding SIN/vices/spirits that need to be dealt with.
The reason I am also including the word “spirits” there, is because Fr. Ripperger realizes that it is BECAUSE of such beings, that SIN entered into humanity’s world right from the start, IN the Garden of Eden, where the devil took the form of a SERPENT, and beguiled EVE, and both Adam and Eve then committed sin by NOT taking God at His Word–the word He gave them in Genesis 2:16-17 to NOT take of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It wasn’t just the disobedience that made the LORD God eventually drive them out of the Garden–it was also to protect them from ETERNALLY being CONDEMNED, IF they went and ate from the Tree of LIFE after eating from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge.
BUT–as a good Father, CONSEQUENCES had to be dealt with. Hence the driving out of the Garden, the SIN that followed mankind right up to the present day, BECAUSE the LORD God demands that we are ALL TESTED to see whether or not we will ABIDE BY Him (Jn. 15:4,6,7,9,16) and, equally important, in HIS WORD (John 8:31).
The LORD God never stopped loving His creation, but He DID give us a CHOICE to either ACCEPT or REJECT Him. While we live and breathe, we have that opportunity to change our minds and live out our lives for Him, even if we did not do so at first. Most people have chosen over the several millennia to NOT accept what the LORD God and His Son has written in His Word; therefore, since there are good consequences for those who accept and believe in Him and His Word, hence then there MUST be a JUDGMENT for those who have refused to accept Him, and That Day SOON approaches.
IF one states that they are a non-believer, then they are already on their way to the Bottomless Pit and eventually, the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:11-15). Atheists, pagans, Agnostics–basically anyone who refuses to believe in the Word of God (Genesis-Revelation), who also refuses to believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior and soon-to-be JUDGE of the world, are within this category of humans that will be sentenced to eternal death and damnation, which the Bible calls “the second death” (Revelation 2:11; 20:6,14; 21:8). They will NOT escape this, just because they don’t “believe” in it. God’s Word for all these several millennia, hasn’t changed, just because the majority of mankind has decided to walk away from Him, turning to other gods, themselves, lusts and pleasures of this life, etc.
JUDGMENT on the Earth by the Lord Jesus WILL COME (Jude 1:14-15; Rev. chapters 6-18), whether one likes it or not, or “believes” it or not. God’s Word is eternally true (Ps. 119:160; John 17:17). Mankind’s refusal or denial of God and His Word doesn’t mean His eternal Word and judgments will not eventually be carried out.
Illustration by the late Rev. Clarence Larkin
There will be wonderful consequences for those who have committed their lives to Christ, not giving up their faith in Him, AND trusting in the ENTIRE counsel of His Word (Acts 20:27)–they will be ushered into eternity hearing those words they so longed to hear–“WELL DONE, thou good and faithful servant” and will “enter into the Joy of your Lord” (Matthew 25:21,23).
Marriage Supper of the Lamb and His Bride-Revelation 19:7, 9
Those who REFUSE to acknowledge God’s Word and His Son as both Savior and Lord, will hear the awful words, “I never knew you; DEPART from Me, you workers of lawlessness” (Matt. 7:23); “DEPART from Me, you cursed, into the eternal FIRE prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matt. 25:41). Those are awful words to hear from the Son of God, Who suffered and died so that ALL humans could have an opportunity to be SET FREE from any and all DEMONIC influences, when they were living out their lives here on Earth.
There IS hope for such a person, but FIRST and FOREMOST–they must HUMBLE themselves, REPENT of their sins, RENOUNCE any and all dealings with the sinful lifestyle they lived (especially if they were involved in any type of pagan practices–witchcraft, satanism, freemasonry, the various cults like Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormonism, Islam, etc.), and WHOLEHEARTEDLY accept the Lord Jesus as BOTH Savior AND LORD of their lives, making a commitment to READ, STUDY, MEDITATE on, and LIVE OUT the life He planned and purposed for that individual, so that they can be blessed by Him, and have eternal LIFE through Him.
They MUST BE set free and delivered of ANY and ALL demonic attachments, infestations, infiltrations, etc.–and that can only happen AFTER they made the Lord Jesus their Savior AND LORD of their lives. THEN the Holy Spirit enters into them (see Jn 3:3,5,7; Acts 2). The Holy Spirit will teach, correct, convict, guide, lead, etc. (see Jn. 14:26; 15:26; 16:13,18) that individual, and will make sure that NO evil spirit will dwell within them any longer, AS LONG AS they allow Him to PURIFY their hearts (Isaiah 52:11; Daniel 12:10; Titus 2:14; Hebrews 9:14; James 4:8).
1 Peter 3 tells us, “WHOEVER desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. BUT the face of the LORD is against those who do EVIL.”
I highly suggest that you get this deliverance prayer book; I cannot sit here and write out the HUNDREDS of sins/vices/evil spirits that plague humanity, but I will give you a few examples from each group (MIND you, some may start out as obvious mental/emotional/physical ailments, but IF LEFT UNCHECKED–can and WILL turn into demonic issues that the devil and his evil spirits can WORSEN in an individual over TIME, right up to their demise!):
Unclean spirits–offensive, compulsiveness, busybody, perverted thinking, scandals; Theft–stealing, greed, materialism, hoarding, etc. Making Excuses for SIN–inability to pray (demons keeping you from praying); worldly cares and lusts, etc. Mental Illnesses–any and all mental and behavioural type of illnesses such as ADD/ADHD, OCD, PTSS, Anxiety Disorders, Mental torments, Compromising, Doubts, Death Wish, Personality disorders, etc. Physical Ailments–Paralysis, Tremors, Night Tremors, Blood Pressure, Sinus/Respiratory, Tumors, Cancers, Insomnia, Fibromyalgia, Allergies, Diabetes, Heart Diseases, etc.
False Religions and Philosophies–Any and all cults (JW/Mormonism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism), Yoga, New Age, Nazism, Freemasonry/Mason Lodges, Eastern Star (for women), any and all secret societies, beliefs in other gods such as Greek/Roman/Babylonian/Assyrian gods/goddesses, etc.
Any and all abandonment of Christian faith; any who are against or have unbelief in the Spiritual Realm; any and all who practice Marxism, Socialism, Fascism, Racism, Liberalism, and any and ALL parts of the OCCULT practices–witchcraft, satanism, pagan worship, Druidism, dealing with Channeling, crystals, Reiki, Mantras, Chakras, familiar spirits, Tarot cards, Angel cards, etc.
Dabbling in those mentioned above, or playing around with Horoscopes, Astrology, Spiritism, Numerology, Seances, praying to the dead, etc.
ANY and all types of spirits that are against marriage, the biological male and female, those who accept the lifestyles that are an abomination to the LORD God as written down in His Word both in the OT and NT; any type of physical mutilation of the body, especially to change the gender, etc.
Physical, mental, emotional, abuse of a person–cursing, putting curses on a person, especially children, Child abuse, neglect, molestation of any kind, human/child trafficking, betrayal of spouse, abandonment, any and all abusive language, mocking or bullying, dominance over the spouse or children in a fearful and unloving way, guilt trips, sarcasm, etc.
THESE should be very obvious, but I’ll add them as well (they are mentioned in the book)–Alcoholism, any and ALL types of Drug use and addiction via smoking, inhaling, needles, etc.; Abortion, any and all types of sexual intercourse outside of marriage/promiscuity/Pornography, sexual addictions, rape, pedophilia, etc. SEXUAL INTERCOURSE is one of the #1 ways besides drug addiction and pagan/cultic/occult/New Age practices that a person receives MANY evil spirits INTO their body and spirits, EVEN IF THEY CLAIM TO BE A CHRISTIAN!
The lie that has circulated for decades about “Christians cannot have evil spirits in them if they belong to Jesus, because the Holy Spirit dwells within them”; they may not be POSSESSED, but they SURE CAN have vexing, infiltrating spirits in their bodies BECAUSE of this VERY LONG list of sinful habits they may have either been exposed to, especially GENERATIONAL CURSES and spirits that have been PASSED DOWN to them–or, sins they have committed themselves, or have been FORCED to commit (such as those who are in false cults, religions, pagan practices such as witchcraft/satanism, etc.).
DO NOT pretend to think that you have not been opened up to any type of demonic stronghold in your life!! WE ALL have been exposed to evil since the day we were born! WE ALL need to REPENT and be CLEANSED of our sins, and be SET FREE from any and all types of demonic infestations, vexations, infiltrations, oppressions, obsessions, etc.
THIS is BUT a SMALL list of what is written in that book. PLEASE take the time out to PRAY and ask the LORD to help you in any or all the areas YOU and your loved ones may be afflicted in. GET this prayer book, and SEEK OUT a Biblical deliverance worker, or better yet, an exorcist (if such issues are very serious) such as Fr. Dan Reehill, Fr. Chad Ripperger, Msgr. Stephen Rossetti; at the least, go to a CHRISTIAN counselor (like from the Biblical Counseling Coalition, for example) who takes the Word of God seriously–ALL of it–and can begin to help you discover what other underlying issues you also may have, besides whatever is the obvious one(s) plaguing you or your loved ones.
I CAN help at the very least, try and determine those issues with certain questionnaires that I have. That is a good start and one of the first steps for those who wish to finally get themselves SET FREE from any and all types of demonic/spiritual attachments.
I pray this has been very helpful to you all. May the LORD God bless you and have you seek the help you need, in order to be SET FREE and DELIVERED, so that YOU can live the life you were always purposed to live in the name of the Lord, Savior, Master, King, and Judge of this World–Jesus Christ.
I was watching the news and the candidate for a U.S. Senate seat came up on the screen, and immediately I winced and the Spirit within me grieved, because I know that person has already proved themselves to NOT adhere to the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27). He has already stated he stands for the LGBTQ+ crowd, mutilating children (transexual surgeries), hence his so-called “Christian” beliefs do NOT line up with the Word of God. So WHY then would this individual have the AUDACITY to be in a divinity school, desiring to further harm people, by preaching FALSE DOCTRINES, while pretending to be a MINISTER of the WORD of GOD??
In case you do not believe me, you can look this up for yourselves—this is but ONE EXAMPLE of FALSE teachers, prophets and ministers out there in this world today, spewing satanic demonic GARBAGE, disrespecting the LORD God Almighty, His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, Who literally IS THE LIVING WORD of GOD that people such as James Talarico, disrespects and dishonors by TWISTING God’s Word to promote satanic ideology under the guise of being a “Christian”.
BECAUSE James is a human being, a wretched sinner like the rest of us, we who love the Lord and His Word, know that we have the commandment from the LORD God to PRAY for the salvation, deliverance, and redemption for such people—for all individuals, who have never known of Christ, or who have separated themselves from “listening to the TRUTH” and who continue to “wander off into myths” (2 Tim. 4:4).
The very real problem, though, is that there are many individuals like James that are GROWING in dissent of what the TRUE and ENTIRE Word of God BIBLICALLY preaches, and are “accumulating for themselves teachers to suit their own passions” (2 Tim. 4:3b). That entire passage is important enough to write it here, so that you understand the entire CONTEXT of what the Apostle Paul was attempting to drive home to the young soon-to-be pastor Timothy when he was finally ready to have a congregation of his own to preach to, and teach:
2 Timothy 4:1-5 “I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.”
Here are some AI overviews not only about James Talarico, but also on having “itching ears” that Paul spoke about in the above shared passage, false teachers, prophets, and also false doctrines that are spreading like wildfire through different churches, organizations, so-called “interfaith” groups (like “Interfaith Alliance” on FB, which is nothing but demonic and as unbiblical as you can get!), that bring in millions of vulnerable individuals who end up being caught in the demonic “spiderweb” of Satan’s lies.
If you or anyone you know of are in such groups–RUN, do NOT walk away, and STAY away from them!! The righteous judgment of the LORD God and His Son will SOON be upon them, as the individuals in these groups and false churches WILL embrace not only the AntiChrist when he shows up on the world scene, but his One World church et al, AND will accept the MARK of the Beast! Guaranteed, as per God’s Word!
AND– as you know—once you are caught in a spiderweb, it CLINGS to you and doesn’t let go! That’s how the evil ones work! Those demonic entities find a “demonic doorway”—any doorway they can where a sinful thought that turned into an action or speech– to ENTER INTO the human being, EMBED themselves IN humans, and incorporate themselves within them, taking over their minds, souls—their personalities, and ultimately, their spirits, IF left unchecked and they have not repented and renounced those particular sins.
IF a human being’s spirit is being ruled over by any other spirit OTHER THAN the Holy Spirit—they are DEMONICALLY infiltrated, and depending on WHAT they have done or said to allow those different types of demonic spirits in them (for there are many!), THAT is what will end up ruling IN and THROUGH them. The more different types of demonic spirits that rule over a person’s spirit, the worse they get, and the HARDER it is for that individual to see, hear, know and accept God’s TRUTH in His Word.
The devil and his demonic spirits WILL see to it that the TRUTH is kept from those individuals for as long as possible, and also the opportunity for repentance, salvation, deliverance and a right relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ will be hidden from their eyes (Paul stated THIS in 2 Cor. 4:3-4—”But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”), right up until their demise; once the individual’s PHYSICAL death occurs, there is NO way possible for any type of reconciliation with the Lord Jesus—only HIS JUDGMENT. Hence what the Lord Jesus stated when He said, “You will know them BY THEIR FRUITS” —
AI Overview “You will know them by their fruits” comes from Matthew 7:16-20 (KJV/NKJV/NASB), where Jesus teaches that people’s true character—or the legitimacy of a prophet—is revealed by their actions, attitudes, and outcomes, rather than their words. Good trees produce good fruit, while bad trees produce bad fruit.
Key Details About the Passage:
Context: Jesus gives this warning when discussing false prophets, who may appear harmless but are inwardly destructive.
The Analogy: Just as grapevines don’t grow on thornbushes, true righteousness cannot come from a corrupt heart.
“Fruit” Defined: “Fruit” symbolizes a person’s behavior, conduct, and inner character. This often relates to the “fruit of the Spirit” (love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, etc.).
Meaning: This verse is a call to spiritual discernment, encouraging followers to observe long-term actions and outcomes rather than relying on initial appearances.
Commonly Quoted Verses (Matthew 7:16-20, KJV): “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. … Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Related Verses:
Matthew 12:33: “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit” (NKJV).
Ephesians 5:9: “…for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.”.
AI Overview—pulled from Google: Texas State Representative and U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico is not currently an ordained minister, but he is a Presbyterian seminarian studying to become one. He is a Christian, often speaking on his faith, and is pursuing a master’s of divinity at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary while serving in public office. Key details about James Talarico’s religious background: Seminarian: He is a self-described “pastor in training”. Education: He is taking classes at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Background: He is the grandson of a Baptist preacher and has attended the same Presbyterian church since he was two years old. Political Approach: Talarico is a progressive Democrat known for using his theological education to oppose Christian nationalism in Texas, often emphasizing faith-based arguments for social justice.
AI Overview “Itching ears” refers to the tendency to seek out teachings that satisfy personal desires rather than adhering to biblical truth. The primary verse is 2 Timothy 4:3-4, warning that people will turn away from sound doctrine to follow myths that suit their own passions and pleasures. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (ESV): “For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.” Contextual Verses 2 Timothy 4:2 (ESV): “Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching” (Paul’s instruction to Timothy on how to combat itching ears). 1 John 4:1 (ESV): “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world”. 2 Peter 2:1 (ESV): “But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you…”. Isaiah 30:10 (ESV): “…Tell us smooth things, prophesy illusions” (An Old Testament example of wanting to hear pleasant things over the truth).
What “Itching Ears” Means Rejecting Sound Doctrine: A refusal to listen to challenging or inconvenient truths. Seeking False Teachers: Gathering teachers who say what people want to hear rather than what they need to hear. Following Desires: Prioritizing personal, worldly passions over biblical principles. Turning to Fables: Leaving the Bible’s truth for popular myths or flattering, yet shallow, messages.
Article by GotQuestions.org Question: “What does 2 Timothy 4:3 mean by itching ears?” Answer: The apostle Paul wrote a warning for the church: “The time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear” (2 Timothy 4:3).
The Greek word translated “itching” literally means “to itch, rub, scratch, or tickle.” To want one’s ears “tickled” is to desire massages rather than messages—sermons that charm rather than challenge, entertain rather than edify, and please rather than preach. The people Paul warns about will have, as one commentator put it, “ears which have to be continually titillated with novelties.”
“Itching ears” is a figure of speech that refers to people’s desires, felt needs, or wants. It is these desires that impel a person to believe whatever he wants to believe rather than the actual truth itself. When people have “itching ears,” they decide for themselves what is right or wrong, and they seek out others to support their notions. “Itching ears” are concerned with what feels good or comfortable, not with the truth—after all, truth is often uncomfortable. Paul’s warning is that the church would one day contain those who only opened their ears to those who would scratch their “itch.”
Those with “itching ears” only want teachers who will assure them that all is well, teachers who say, “Peace, peace . . . when there is no peace” (Jeremiah 6:14). Where there is a demand for something, the suppliers are not far away. Paul says that not only will there be great demand for watered-down, personalized messages, but there will be “a great number of teachers” willing to provide such pap and steer people away from “sound doctrine.”
Evidence today of people having “itching ears” includes the popularity of messages that people are not required to change, as if repentance were outmoded; that people are basically good; that God is too loving to judge anyone; that the cross, with all its blood, is not really necessary; and that God wants His children to be healthy, wealthy, and content in this world. As people turn their backs on the truth about sin and condemnation, they disregard their need for repentance and forgiveness. And a craving for “new” and “fresher” ideas grows—even though there is “nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9–10)—accompanied by a longing to feel good about who they are and where they’re going. Messages that tickle ears can fill a lot of churches, sell a lot of books, and buy a lot of time on cable tv.
Some of the early followers of Jesus complained about some of the Lord’s words: “Many of his disciples said, ʻThis is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?’ . . . From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him” (John 6:60, 66). Walking away from hard truth is easy to do.
In today’s postmodern church, we see many walking away from the hard truth. Some churches that once preached sound doctrine now teach as acceptable the very evils the Bible condemns. Some pastors are afraid to preach on certain passages of the Bible. “Christian feminists” deny God as a heavenly Father, calling Him a “she.” “Gay Christians” are not only welcomed without repentance into church fellowship but into the pulpit, as well.
The church’s remedy for those who have “itching ears” is found in the same passage of 2 Timothy: “Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction” (2 Timothy 4:2). It is a solemn charge, made “in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom” (verse 1). And it contains all the elements needed to combat the temptation to tickle ears: preach, correct, rebuke, and encourage. The content of preaching must be the written Word of God, and it must be preached when convenient and when inconvenient. This takes “great patience and careful instruction,” but sound doctrine is worth it.
The church’s quest to manage the comfort level of its audience must never take priority over preaching the Word. The fear of offending people’s sensibilities can never supersede the fear of offending God. Rather, the church should follow the example of the apostles: “We have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God” (2 Corinthians 4:2).
The church today, more than ever, needs to re-examine the teachings it endorses. We need to ask ourselves the following questions:
Are our teachings truly from God or simply itches we want to scratch?
Are we standing on solid biblical grounds, or have we allowed the world to influence our thinking?
Have we guarded ourselves from the schemes of Satan (Ephesians 6:11)?
Are we keeping ourselves “blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:23)?
The truth is, God is not concerned with scratching our itches but in transforming us into the image of His Son (Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 4:4).
AI Overview The Bible warns that false prophets and teachers will arise, appearing harmless (“sheep’s clothing”) but inwardly acting as destructive “wolves” to deceive believers, often performing signs to lead people astray. They are identified by their bad fruit—false doctrine, greed, and immorality—and will face ultimate judgment, while Christians are urged to test teachings and avoid them.
Key Aspects of False Prophets and Teachers:
Appearance: They disguise themselves as servants of righteousness or apostles, masquerading as followers of Christ while spreading deception.
Doctrine and Motives: They often deny the core truths regarding Jesus Christ, promote lies, and are motivated by greed, aiming to manipulate or exploit people for shameful gain .
Methodology: They often “twist” scripture and promote false doctrine that can destroy the faith of believers, sometimes creating division.
Warning and Judgment: They will face severe judgment and destruction for their actions.
How to Identify Them:
“You will know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16-20): Their character, lifestyle, and the results of their teaching will contradict the truth of the Bible.
Testing Spirits: Believers are urged to test teaching against the scripture to see if it aligns with the truth (1 John 4:1). Commands for Believers:
Be Alert and Guarded: Christians are warned to be on guard and not be misled by signs or wonders.
Avoid Them: The Bible advises not to receive, support, or even greet those who promote false doctrines (2 John 1:10-11).
Hold Fast to Truth: Knowing the Bible (“correctly handling the word of truth”) is the best defense against deception.
FROM GotQuestions.org website: Question: “How can I recognize a false teacher / false prophet?” Answer: Jesus warned us that “false Christs and false prophets” will come and will attempt to deceive even God’s elect (Matthew 24:23–27; see also 2 Peter 3:3 and Jude 1:17–18). To guard against falsehood and false teachers, it’s important to know the truth and know the characteristics of the counterfeit. Any believer who “correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15) and who makes a careful study of the Bible can identify false doctrine.
Jesus said, “A tree is recognized by its fruit” (Matthew 12:33). So, believers are to be fruit inspectors. Knowing the look, texture, and taste of a healthy apple is important. So is knowing the look, texture, and taste—and smell—of a rotten one. Here are three specific tests to apply to any teacher to determine the accuracy of his or her teaching:
1) What does this teacher say about Jesus? In Matthew 16:15-16, Jesus asks, “Who do you say I am?” Peter answers, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” and for this answer Peter is called “blessed.” In 2 John 9, we read, “Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.” In other words, Jesus Christ and His work of redemption is of utmost importance; beware of anyone who denies that Jesus is equal with God, who downplays Jesus’ sacrificial death, or who rejects Jesus’ humanity. First John 2:22 says, “Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son.”
2) Does this teacher preach the gospel? The gospel is defined as the good news concerning Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). As nice as they sound, the statements “God loves you,” “God wants us to feed the hungry,” and “God wants you to be wealthy” are not the complete message of the gospel. As Paul warns in Galatians 1:7, “Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.” No one, not even a great preacher, has the right to change the message that God gave us. “If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!” (Galatians 1:9).
3) Does this teacher exhibit character qualities that glorify the Lord? Speaking of false teachers, Jude 1:11 says, “They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.” In other words, a false teacher can be known by his pride (Cain’s rejection of God’s plan), greed (Balaam’s prophesying for money), and rebellion (Korah’s promotion of himself over Moses). Jesus said to beware of such people and that we would know them by their fruits (Matthew 7:15-20).
For further study, review those books of the Bible that were written specifically to combat false teaching within the church: Galatians, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, and Jude. It is often difficult to spot a false teacher/false prophet. Satan masquerades as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), and his ministers masquerade as servants of righteousness (2 Corinthians 11:15). Only by being thoroughly familiar with the truth will we be able to recognize a counterfeit.
AI Overview The Bible warns against false doctrine, describing it as destructive heresy, “doctrines of demons”, and a distortion of the gospel of Christ. Key verses include 2 Peter 2:1, 1 Timothy 4:1-3, and Galatians 1:6-9, which advise believers to test spirits and avoid teachers who prioritize myths over the truth. Key Bible Verses on False Doctrine 2 Peter 2:1: “But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them…” 1 Timothy 4:1-3: “…some will turn away from the faith, paying attention instead to deceitful and seductive spirits and doctrines of demons…” Galatians 1:6-9: “I marvel that you are turning away so soon… to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.” 2 Timothy 4:3-4: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires… they will heap up for themselves teachers… and be turned aside to fables.” Romans 16:17-18: “I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them.” Characteristics of False Doctrine Denying Christ: Denying the deity or redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Self-Interest: Driven by greed, selfish ambition, or the desire for gain. Adding Legalism: Imposing rules not mandated by Scripture, such as forbidding marriage or specific foods. Smooth Talk: Using flattery and deception to mislead the naive. “Another Gospel”: Perverting the message of grace to include works or false doctrines.
JEANNETTE’S Concluding thoughts: I do not say these things about James out of hatred—of course not! I do not hate HIM, but I most CERTAINLY hate the very DEMONS that CLEARLY from what is spoken about in Scripture, work IN and THROUGH James and so many others that preach false doctrines. As a Servant of the Most High God and my Lord, Savior, Master, and King Jesus—I must do what has been called up me to do, and that is to INFORM and WARN about such things. Putting up nice inspirational devotionals with pretty pictures is great, but there is way more to it than that. The hard things like writing a post such as this, needs to be done at times as well, especially when the Holy Spirit bids me to do it.
Unless they REPENT of their lies and deceit to the Lord Jesus, RENOUNCE their false teaching, and ask Him to FORGIVE them, ACCEPTING ONLY the ENTIRE counsel of HIS WORD, and no other false teaching, these individuals who consistently come against God and His entire Word, both the OLD and NEW Testaments, purposely ignoring His commandments, and refusing to acknowledge EVERYING that has been written therein, WILL find themselves within the group that HE, Jesus, spoke about in Matthew 7:21-23—“NOT EVERY ONE WHO SAYS TO ME, ‘LORD, LORD’ WILL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, BUT THE ONE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN. On That Day, many will say to ME, ‘Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and cast out demons in Your name, and do many mighty works in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I NEVER KNEW YOU; DEPART FROM ME, you workers of LAWLESSNESS.”
I made a point to stress how even to THIS DAY, there are individuals, church groups, etc. that DENY several parts of—even whole books—of what the LORD God commanded His servants to write out to us, regarding the WHOLE counsel of His Word. Those who consider themselves “Christians”, and followers of “Jesus”, are blatantly disregarding MUCH or ALL of, the OLD TESTAMENT, actually stating that it is no longer part of what Jesus came to do—that He either replaced Israel with the church (Replacement Theology), or—because many groups out there have lifestyles that are directly against what is written IN the Old Testament, like the LGBTQ+ groups, for example—they literally THROW AWAY parts of Scripture that do not adhere to or agree with, their sinful lifestyles. Do you actually think the LORD God is going to stay SILENT about that for much longer? Hence the reason why Revelation chapters 6-18 speak about 21 JUDGEMENTS that will befall this Earth, and happen a LOT sooner than most humans would care to think about.
ALL of SCRIPTURE is still RELEVANT, and those prophecies in Scripture that have yet to come to pass, WILL, whether one believes in them, or NOT. How dare anyone disregard God’s Word, or worse yet, TWIST and CHANGE it to what THEY want it to say! Deuteronomy 4:2 AND Revelation 22:18-19 state this about trying to add or delete anything from God’s Word: “You shall not add to the Word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I COMMAND YOU” (Deut. 4:2).
John the Apostle wrote this as a final warning to all of his readers at the end of the book of Revelation (ch. 22) and what is the end of the Canon of Scripture: [18]“I WARN EVERYONE who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: IF anyone ADDS to them, God will add to him the PLAGUES described in this book, [19] and if anyone TAKES AWAY from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will TAKE AWAY his share in the tree of Life and in the Holy City, which are described in this book.” John adds this in verse 20—“He Who TESTIFIES to these things says, “SURELY I AM COMING SOON.” “HE” is the LORD JESUS, and HE knows that His Word IS true, because HE IS THE WORD OF GOD (John 1:1, 14). You go against His WORD, and you ultimately go against HIM.
WHO do you think will end up coming up on top—humans, or the LORD JESUS, at the Day of JUDGMENT? There is NO version of this anywhere in the annals of history, past, present, and or future, where the devil, the evil spirits, OR the human beings will come out on top, above the Lord Jesus. NOT going to happen.
BELOVED–I cannot stress this enough—THAT IS NOT a place where a human being wants to find themselves at the Time of the Judgment, HEARING such awful words coming out of the mouth of the Lord Jesus! WHAT FOLLOWS, is THIS, right from the book of Revelation, chapter 20:11-15—the horrific ETERNAL death and ongoing torture of all those who refused to REPENT and acknowledge Jesus as LORD–
Rev 20:11-15 ESV: 11 “Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”
Also, I will add and end with Revelation chapter 21:5 and 8, because ALL God’s Word is TRUE— Rev 21:5, 8 ESV: 5 “And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” 8 “But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
AND IF a human being after all that was explained through Scripture, STILL has an issue with it prior to their physical death here, KNOW that His WORD is what will JUDGE them on the Last Day–

AI OVERVIEW on How God’s Word will Judge everyone: John 12:48-49 (ESV): “The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day” Bible Gateway. Matthew 12:36-37 (NIV): “…on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned” Bible to Life. Romans 2:16 (ESV): “…on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus” Bible Gateway Key Contextual Points
The Purpose: While the word acts as a judge, this article on Ask About My Faith notes that Christ did not come to condemn, but to save (John 3:17).
The Standard: Judgment is based on how people received Christ’s teachings and whether they obeyed the gospel.
Personal Accountability: Everyone will stand before the judgment seat of Christ to account for their own actions (2 Corinthians 5:10).
I rest my case.
The JUDGE of all the living and the dead, WILL be seated on His Throne, and will judge righteously, according to ALL that has been RECORDED in the books (Daniel 7:10; Revelation 20:12). That Day is SOON upon us. Be ready, prayed up, and keep your lamps LIT, your hearts and minds in CHRIST and His Word, and KEEP WATCH, for NO ONE knows the Day or the Hour when the Bridegroom will show up. BUT HE WILL.
He is always watching. He is always listening. He knows the end from the beginning. He already knows how this is going to end.
But He has allowed FREE WILL for all of us to choose which way we will go— Either surrendering ALL to Him, so that we will be with ❤️Him in ✨🌈eternity, OR— Due to the choices one makes, not surrendering all to Him, and ending up eternally lost.🔥🔥🔥(see Revelation 20:11-15; 21:8)
THE CHOICE HAS ALWAYS BEEN UP TO US—He never wanted to force us to love Him.
But that choice will be made one way or another, and the end will come, whether we believe it or not, or like it or not.
CHOOSE NOW, while there is still time.
The LORD IS in control of all Time. The time for ⚖️JUDGMENT will soon be upon this Earth (see Revelation chapters 6-18).
The warnings will end, and the Judgment will begin.
“Proverbs 30:5a— “Every word of God proves true…” EVERY prophecy WILL be fulfilled (Luke 24:44; Isaiah 55:11).
The Lord Jesus called the apostle John to come up into what we consider the “third heaven”, and when he did so, the Spirit of God took him.
The two witnesses (Rev. 11) after they were murdered and laid in the street for three and a half days, just as it happened in Genesis, the breath of LIFE from the Lord God entered them, and they were also called back up into heaven by those words, “Come up here!”
So the words, “Come up here” are not written just once but twice.
And both times the Holy Spirit transports them up into heaven.
Where else in Scripture did that happen?
Acts 1:9-11, when the Lord Jesus was taken up from the disciples into heaven and disappeared in the clouds. The angels that stood by told the disciples that the Lord Jesus would return in the same fashion as they saw Him go into heaven.
I just thought I would share this with you and give you something to think about.
I included the Greek because unfortunately the Aramaic from the Peshitta is not available for me to just copy and paste here. Nevertheless, I added the Greek because that is one of the original languages that the book of Revelation was written in/translated into.
That “loud voice” was also attributed to the Lord Jesus in Matthew 27:46,50; Mark 15:34; Luke 23:46; John 11:43; Revelation 1:10. Revelation 21:5 is not necessarily in “red” as some Bibles portray Jesus’ words, because some believe those are the words of God the Father stating that, since the beginning of verse five says, “And He who was seated on the throne…”
Nevertheless, I think it would be good for everyone to sit back, read these verses, meditate on them, pray about them and have a conversation with the Holy Spirit. Maybe even do your own little Bible study on them.
The bottom line is, we are first and foremost, SPIRIT, then SOUL, then BODY (1Thess. 5:23).
Ecclesiastes 12:7 tells us plainly that the spirit returns to God.
When we each leave this earth, no one knows. Only the LORD knows our final day here. But we do know it will happen One Day.
I just pray that you all-we all-will be ready when it is our Time to be “called up” & stand before the Throne of Lord Jesus at the time of Judgement.
If you have not made yourself ready, and you do not have your lamps filled with oil, WHEN, not IF, the Bridegroom does return, you may be found wanting, and left outside of the gates to His Kingdom.
BE HUMBLE, REPENT, and ACCEPT the LORD Jesus into your life, so that you may RECEIVE the Holy Spirit (oil) WITHIN you, to teach you, correct you, encourage and strengthen you.
IF you refuse, you WILL be left outside His gates.
SURRENDER ALL to the LORD Jesus TODAY. You may not have another “tomorrow” to think about it.
We see what our Iranian brothers and sisters are going through!! We stand with them in prayer, and also by spreading the word of all that is transpiring in Iran for the past two plus weeks.
If you know your Bible, King Cyrus was kind to the Jews, and supported them by ending their 70-year Babylonian captivity, and also when they wanted to rebuild their temple.
Too many people in the world do not realize the long term loving relationship between Israel and the ORIGINAL state of Iran—the pre-Islamic time of Iran when the people were able to live their lives in peace and prosperity.
IF YOU CONSIDER yourself a CHRISTIAN, and a lover of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, you then SHOULD be in support of Israel, believe wholeheartedly in the WORD✡️📖✝️of GOD, TRUST in the process of all that the Lord God does, EVEN WHEN we do NOT know or understand everything.
We are going all in to help the Iranians—I’m sure of it!! The Iranian people are COUNTING on us!! They need our prayers, our support on social media, and hopefully, Israel and America will come to the nation of Iran’s aid, to rescue the people from 47 YEARS of a demonic Islamic regime, bondage, and oppression!! And IF President Trump does help the people of Iran, is it a coincidence that he, the 47th President of the United 🇺🇸States, helped to free those Iranians from 47 years of Islamic occupation, oppression, and persecution?! I pray that the LORD God will do just that!!🙏❤️🙏
Please show YOUR support for the Iranian people! This entire world needs to rid itself of the demonic Islamic ideology that is truly of SATAN HIMSELF, so all peoples of the world can live together once again in peace and harmony with one another!!

Make no mistake about it—and take this as a SOLEMN WARNING FROM THE LORD GOD MOST HIGH TO ALL who are on the Earth right now—
When you flatly REFUSE to accept the TRUTH;
When you consistently adhere to the LIES that the world system feeds you and continue to WANT to be deceived;
When all avenues used by the Holy Spirit of God to try to convince and convict you (John 16:8) of your wrong thinking and wrong doing, in hope that you would REPENT (Luke 13:3; Acts 2:38; 3:19) and CONFESS your sins (Ps. 38:18; Prov. 28:13; Lev. 26:40-42; Num. 5:5-8; Rom. 10:9; 1Jn. 4:3) are exhausted,
THE LORD JESUS WILL finally allow you to be GIVEN OVER to a CORRUPT and DEPRAVED MIND (Rom. 1:24-28), accepting only lies, and will send that POWERFUL DELUSION (1 Thess. 2:11-12) you desire to have, INSTEAD OF the TRUTH of His WORD✡️📖✝️.
The evil spirits of the workers of lawlessness (Matt. 7:23) HAVE already increased (Matt. 24:12; 2 Thess. 2:7) in these last FIVE years. We ALL have felt it, and cannot deny it!
That’s because EVERYTHING that has been written in God’s ✡️📖✝️Word MUST come to pass (Is 55:11; Ezekiel 12:28; Luke 1:37).
The “man of lawlessness” (2 Thess. 2:3) MUST step onto the world’s stage SOON, and when he does, there will be increased lawlessness (Rom. 6:19a) when people continually CHOOSE TO practice LAWLESSNESS (1 John 3:4).
And the end result of ALL of that will be TRAGIC: Eternal spiritual DEATH and DESTRUCTION.
CHOOSE NOW where you will stand on That Day when the Lord Jesus Christ judges you. But know that your choice WILL be an ETERNAL one.
There will come a Day in mankind’s history that there will be no more opportunities to either accept or reject the Lord Jesus as both Lord and Savior of the Universe.
That Day is fast approaching, and no one knows when it will happen. But it WILL.
The FACT that it is WRITTEN in God’s ✡️📖✝️Holy Word should be enough for a person to thoroughly examine themselves, and see what f they would be able to “Enter into the joy of the Lord” (Matthew 25:21) on That Day.
That is a personal decision that every single human being must make.
Evil is showing itself to us boldly these days; that’s because the devil and the evil spirits know their Time here is short.
Those evil ones KNOW and BELIEVE what Jesus said in His 📖Word to s TRUE—He WILL RETURN, and once His Judgment begins here on Earth, Satan’s days of deceiving humanity will be OVER. Tragically, most humans DON’T believe.
But whoever was deceived into thinking that God and His Word were FALSE, will learn all too well that they were WRONG.
Scripture warns us what will happen to those who rejected the Word of Christ (Revelation 20:11-15).
PLEASE take the time out NOW to seek the Lord Jesus, Who IS the living Word of God (John 1:1,14), do the research, ask the questions, and find and discern the TRUTH from the lies.
I am more than willing to help anyone in their faith journey. DM me and I will help you from all that I have learned in my faith walk with the Lord and the whole counsel of His ✡️📖✝️Word (Acts 20:27).
🙏📖“SEEK the LORD while He may be found, CALL upon Him while He is near” (Isaiah 55:6).
🙏📖“You will seek Me and find Me, WHEN you SEEK ME with all your heart” ( Jeremiah 29:13).
I took the time out to make this Power Point chart; I am NOT savvy at all when it comes to doing such projects, but I have had to use PP in quite a few of my presentations along the way in my college and seminary years.
Jeannette Elizabeth, WITDWF
I am a visual learner, so I thought it would be best to throw something together that will tell the story and hopefully have it leave a good enough impression on your hearts, that you will take this to prayer and keep these groups of human beings in your mind, praying for their salvation.
I shared this post last month on my social media pages; I seriously thought it would get quite a bit of attention and feedback from people; it was mostly ignored, like the majority of my posts are. I was shocked; I can’t imagine these factual numbers don’t upset anyone, especially those who consider themselves Christians! But, at least I did the work I was called to do, and put the research results out there. I decided to also post it here on my blog page. Let’s get into the details of the chart.
NOW–I am not going to pretend to think that just because there seems to be “2.4 billion” listed for Christianity, that all those church affiliations that reported, are actually teaching biblical Christianity. We all know that they are NOT. There are many out there that call themselves “Christian” churches and do NOT preach from the Word of God, or just pick and choose what they like, and discard the rest.
The same goes for Judaism; not every Jewish person actually believes in the Torah/Tanakh. There are quite a few that are secular Jews, and thankfully, there are a growing number of Jewish people that ARE finding out that Yeshua/Jesus IS their Messiah, and have come to accept Him into their lives, making them as they call themselves, “complete Jews”.
Unfortunately, there is a growing number of pagan cults in the world; a few examples would be WICCA and any other form of witchcraft, satanism, groups that TO THIS DAY, that still worship Greek/Roman/Egyptian gods, etc.
Then there are surprisingly almost 2 BILLION people in this world (almost 1/4 of the world’s population) that have NO FAITH whatsoever–they are either agnostic, atheistic, or the like.
The BIG NUMBERS of cultic groups come from Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormonism, and Jehovah’s Witnesses. When you add all their numbers up, it’s frightening to think how many souls are headed to the Lake 🔥of Fire at the Time of the Lord Jesus’ Judgment (see Revelation 20:10-15; 21:8).
I’ve been up quite a few nights thinking about this as I see more and more issues with the followers of Islam getting very bold, and acting out more and more against the Christians as they preach on a corner, share the Gospel with someone, prevent them from even having planned events/outreaches because of the so-called “peaceful protests” that end up sometimes turning violent.
My heart breaks for these human beings, because their SOULS are on the line! They have been lied to by the devil himself, believing in ( or not believing at all) some form of what the world calls a “religion” but most are CULTS; what defines a group AS a cult, is straight from the BIBLE.
Here is 1 John 4:1-3, where the Apostle and Gospel/Revelation writer John tells us how to TEST the spirits, to know whether or not a person/group is actually a true believer of the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word:
1Jo 4:1 ESV – Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1Jo 4:2 ESV – By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 1Jo 4:3 ESV – and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.
It’s very simple. Either that group believes in ALL of God’s Word, not picking it apart, NOT adding or deleting from it (see Deuteronomy 4:2; Revelation 22:18-19), OR—they are found to be FALSE.
As I am literally writing this out, the Holy Spirit said to add this passage as well from Proverbs 30:4-6:
Pro 30:4 ESV – Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name? Surely you know! Pro 30:5 ESV – Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Pro 30:6 ESV – Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a LIAR.
TO THAT, I am adding separately (even though it is already mentioned above) REVELATION 21:8–PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!:
Rev 21:8 ESV – But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, AND ALL LIARS, their portion will be in the LAKE that burns with 🔥FIRE and sulfur, WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH.”
Beloved, I CANNOT stress this more than I already have, several times before, especially in these last few years–GOD’S WORD–ALL OF IT–WILL COME TO PASS.
He does NOT want any person, who is worshipping false demonic gods like “Allah”, “Ba’al”, “Ra”, “Shiva”, “Kali”, “Athena”, “Ishtar/Innana”, etc. to have to be deceived any longer!! He wants them to “COME OUT OF HER” (the false cults/religions) and believe and trust in the ONE TRUE MOST HIGH GOD and HIS SON.
If the LORD Himself and servants like myself who are called to share these messages of information and warning, DIDN’T care what happens to these human beings, WHY would He instruct people like myself to continually WARN you of the WRATH that is to come?? He knows that the devil has deceived so many souls into believing anyone and anything else OTHER THAN Him. Even if a person doesn’t want to believe in anything (atheist), Satan is fine with that as well, because THAT person ALSO will be heading to that horrific Lake of Fire when the Time of Judgment comes.
I share this out of concern and LOVE for every person who is mixed up in one of these cults/religions that DO NOT worship the LORD God, nor lead them to the ONE and ONLY Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. IT IS ONLY HE who gave up His life for every human being to have an opportunity to ACCEPT Him as their Lord and Savior, and have that intimate Holy Spirit relationship with them, that will eventually lead them to an eternal Home with Him, the Father, and all those brothers and sisters in the Lord who have gone before us.
Speaking the TRUTH in LOVE seems to be getting much harder to do, because of Jesus’ words coming to pass about how many people in the last days will be OFFENDED by Him AND His WORDS!!
CHRISTIAN–do your due diligence, and before you go to bed each and every night, and as you wake up in the morning (and maybe even once during the day), PLEASE pray for all those that YOU know personally, and for everyone else in the world that as you can see from this simple chart (and you can find many more online; I just decided to my one for myself) that they DO NOT KNOW CHRIST–therefore, they WILL END UP hearing those awful words, (Mat 7:23 ESV)- “And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'”
PRAY for the LOST. HATE the evil that comes from WITHIN them, because they ARE full of demonic spirits for sure, who are doing all they can from keeping those precious human souls from HEARING the TRUTH of God’s Word, and ACCEPTING Jesus Christ into their lives.
STAND UP for your FAITH, and FIGHT THE EVIL that comes from those wicked demonic cults. BUT—DO NOT HATE THE PERSON. HATE THE DEVIL and his angels, and ALL the demonic entities that are keeping them spiritually BOUND!!! PRAY, beloved, PRAY!!!
I seriously feel with all my soul, that we do not have much time left before the LORD God the Father allows the JUDGMENTS that are written, especially in Revelation 6 through 18, to begin happening. The AntiChrist (son of perdition -2 Thess. 2) will SOON be on the world’s stage. EVERYTHING you see happening around you, is setting up for that.
OH–and one more thing–ISAIAH 17 (the complete destruction of Damascus, Syria) and EZEKIEL 38-39 (several Islamic nations that come against the nation of Israel) STILL have to come to pass, amongst several other prophetic passages yet to be fulfilled. But these that I mention here are two of the major ones that we may just see happen in our LIFETIME.
READ your Bible, ASK questions (I’m always available!), PRAY, do your RESEARCH, encourage each other in the Word, praise and worship the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. May the Lord Jesus be with you all, and may He strengthen and embolden you to carry out His Will before the End of Days begins. 🙏❤️✡️📖✝️🕊️
THESE are ALL the LORD God’s ✡️📖✝️Words, written down THROUGH over 40 different biblical authors of HIS CHOOSING, from the time of Moses (~3400 yrs ago, 1400BC), up to John the Apostle (Gospel, letters, Revelation~90AD).
IF A PERSON STATES that they believe in the Father, the Son-the Lord Jesus Christ-and the Holy Spirit— they will be held accountable to BELIEVE IN, read, study, learn, and know the whole counsel of God’s ✡️📖✝️ Word (Acts 20:27), IN ORDER TO have an intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus.
ALSO, to have the Holy Spirit DWELL (Jn. 3:3,5,7) in them, leading, guiding, teaching, and CORRECTING them (Jn. 14:16-17, 26; 15:26-27; 16:13; Acts 2:38; Romans 8:9,11; Eph. 1:13-14), and remind them that they are the TEMPLE of the LIVING GOD (1Cor. 3:16; 6:19).
THOSE who have EARS TO HEAR (Eze. 3:27; Matt. 11:15; Mi. 4:23; Lk. 8:8; Rev. 2:7, 11; 3:6,13; 13:9) what the Holy Spirit SAYS, will be the ones that are the most obedient to Him, disciplined and discerning of all that is happening in this world concerning the End Times.
KEEP Watch, PRAY, have your lamps filled (Matt. 25:1-13), and BE READY(Matt. 24:44; Lk. 12:40; 2Tim. 4:2), for NO ONE knows that Day or Hour (Mk. 13:32-33; Matt. 25:13; 24:36, 42) when the Father will have the Son begin the Time of the AntiChrist, and the 21 Judgements of Revelation (see Rev. ch. 6-18).
The End of all things IS AT HAND (1Peter 4:7). Do NOT be fooled into thinking that the LORD will not return. Peter warned us about this (see 2Peter 3:3-4).
The Lord is patient (2Pet. 3:9), and He has allowed thousands of years to pass in order for many to come to repentance.
HOWEVER, as there was a Beginning (Genesis 1:1), there WILL be END (Rev. 20:10-15; 21:4-5, 8) of all things. The Lord Jesus MUST return (Acts 1:11;Rev. 1:7-8; 19:11), and JUDGE the Earth and its inhabitants AS IT IS WRITTEN (Acts 10:42; 17:31; Jn. 14:3; 2Tim. 4:8; 2 Cor. 5:10; Jude 1:14-15; Rev.22:12).
Walking in the Dark with Faith
