1 Timothy 4:1-2 AMP

BUT THE [Holy] Spirit distinctly and expressly declares that in latter times some will turn away from the faith, giving attention to deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach, through the hypocrisy and pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared (cauterized), who forbid people to marry and [teach them] to abstain from [certain kinds of] foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and have [an increasingly clear] knowledge of the truth.

The information Paul was giving to Timothy in this chapter is so relevant for today. The body of Christ is suffering from teachings that are from the pits of hell. The question is, “How is this happening?” Religion! You see the church has allowed the religious spirit to crawl its way in like a snake and setup shop. With this spirit in control, it begins to pump its messages from hell into leaders, convincing them that it is the bible truth when it’s not. Paul told Timothy that in the last days, doctrines or teachings of demons would be released. What are these teachings? Fear, Infirmity, Doubt, Unbelief, Agendas, Man’s Order, Manipulation, and etc… These teachings have attached itself to the church to rob its destiny. The church is walking in fear because of fear based teaching. The church is walking in doubt and unbelief because of teachings on this mess. Sickness is so prevalent because of the teachings out of Infirmity chapter 1 verse 6. It’s time for every pastor and leader to open their eyes to see that there is a spirit at work trying to squeeze the life out of the people of God. These teachings are nothing more than little snakes being passed out, wrapped up, and disguised with wrapping that has scriptures all over it.

The religious spirit has caused the church to become deaf and dumb. Jesus cast this spirit out plenty of times. In Mark 8:13-21, Jesus rebuked the disciples because of the lack of discernment and I believe also because their doubt. He says to them, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” The disciples thought that Jesus was talking about them having no bread. Jesus said something very powerful. “Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened? Having eyes, do you not see? Having ears, do you not hear?” Jesus was trying to get to understand that I’m not talking about the fact that we don’t have enough bread! Do you remember the miracle of the five loaves? What Jesus was talking about was the corruption of the Pharisees and Herod.

The same thing is happening to the church. Jesus is saying beware of the religious spirit that is on the rise and spreading but we the church, are talking about bread. The church is to busy having conferences and meetings, asking this same question the disciples, “Is it because we forgot to do this, bring that, say this, or say that?” NO! The church has eyes but can’t see and ears but can’t hear. The religious spirit has caused the church to harden their hearts to the point that the words of warning don’t even affect her anymore. Just like the disciples, the church is missing the revelation Jesus is dropping. This is so true! We go around having conferences to sit around one another to confer. Look at verse 16, “And they reasoned among themselves”. That’s all these conferences have resulted in, the church coming together to ask each other question. Not one person in this passage stopped to ask Jesus, “Master, what are you saying to us?” No, instead of asking Jesus what He meant, they tried to figure everything out on their own. Sounds like pride.

This is what’s happening in the pulpits across America. Instead of us stepping out in faith to see and hear something we’ve never seen or heard before, we allowed that python called religion to seduce and lie to us that we got the answers. The sad thing about that leaders, is that the people, the sheep of His pasture is paying for it. They are suffering from the teachings of demons they are receiving from you by way of the python (religious spirit).

I speaking to leaders so much because the bible says that judgment shall begin at the house of God (1Peter 4:17). We have even allowed the python to twist this scripture to bring fear upon the sheep. However, by the authority I have in Jesus name, let me tell you that this judgment is not going to start with the sheep! NO! This judgment will start with the leaders because God has given the leaders the simply responsibility to just follow Him. If we do that in everything, the people, the sheep of His pasture will follow. It’s just like when our parents told us to look after our baby sister or brother until they return. If something gets broken and you were not there to stop it, the first question is not address to the younger one. That question is coming to you because you were left in charge. This what is happening to the church right now. God is see a lot of mess going on and He is saying where are my leaders? Where are the ones I left in charge? Why are my leaders not listening to me? What is that meal (teaching) my leaders are serving? Who in Hell did they get that from? Wait a minute! I know you are thinking to yourself, God couldn’t be saying who in Hell right? That’s a curse word right? Wrong! God is asking this question, WHO IN HELL DID THEY GET THAT FROM? It is not that God doesn’t know where it came from, He wants you to be honest and expose that demon. Remember, hell is a place that was prepared for the devil and the angels he convinced to reject God (Isaiah 14: 12-21, Revelation 12:9, Jude 1:6, and 2 Peter 2:4) and also Paul said that these teachings were from demons. Religion is also a microphone with speakers that gives fear, doubt, unbelief, infirmity, worry, depression, hatred, anger, and unforgiveness a voice. It wants the church to pay attention to what it is saying. Why is religion attaching itself to leaders? Leaders have influence. If it can get to the leaders, then it can get to the sheep. If it gets to the sheep, the whole church is destroyed.

Religion has the same agenda as its master the devil. To kill, steal, and to destroy (John 10:10). So in my closing, the revelation I have received from the Lord I now give to you. Since we now understand from scripture that the devils’ address now, is, and forever shall be hell and that his little demons are his roommates, I release this command from heaven now! Get up and tell the devil, GO TO HELL!

Doubt, GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!

Fear, GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!

Depression, GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!

Divorce, GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!

Anger, GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!

Rebellion, GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!

Mans’ Agenda, GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!

As you begin to name these things that have been tormenting your church, family, and friends, the Lord says that deliverance shall come!

Isaiah 30:1-17  NLT

¹“Destruction is certain for my rebellious children,” says the LORD. “You make plans that are contrary to my will. You weave a web of plans that are not from my Spirit, thus piling up your sins. ²For without consulting me, you have gone down to Egypt to find help. You have put your trust in Pharaoh for his protection. ³But in trusting Pharaoh, you will be humiliated and disgraced. ⁴For though his power extends to Zoan and Hanes, ⁵it will all turn out to your shame. He will not help you even one little bit.”

⁶Look at the animals moving slowly across the terrible desert to Egypt-donkeys and camels loaded with treasure to pay for Egypt’s aid. On through the wilderness they go, where lions and poisonous snakes live. All this, and Egypt will give you nothing in return. ⁷Egypt’s promises are worthless! I call her the Harmless Dragon. ^F80

A Warning for Rebellious Judah

⁸Now go and write down these words concerning Egypt. They will then stand until the end of time as a witness to Israel’s unbelief. ⁹For these people are stubborn rebels who refuse to pay any attention to the LORD’s instructions.

¹⁰They tell the prophets, “Shut up! We don’t want any more of your reports.” They say, “Don’t tell us the truth. Tell us nice things. Tell us lies. ¹¹Forget all this gloom. We have heard more than enough about your ‘Holy One of Israel.’ We are tired of listening to what he has to say.”

¹²This is the reply of the Holy One of Israel: “Because you despise what I tell you and trust instead in oppression and lies, ¹³calamity will come upon you suddenly. It will be like a bulging wall that bursts and falls. In an instant it will collapse and come crashing down. ¹⁴You will be smashed like a piece of pottery-shattered so completely that there won’t be a piece left that is big enough to carry coals from a fireplace or a little water from the well.”

¹⁵The Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says, “Only in returning to me and waiting for me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it. ¹⁶You said, ‘No, we will get our help from Egypt. They will give us swift horses for riding into battle.’ But the only swiftness you are going to see is the swiftness of your enemies chasing you! ¹⁷One of them will chase a thousand of you. Five of them will make all of you flee. You will be left like a lonely flagpole on a distant mountaintop.”

 

For the past three weeks and including today I saw on my clock 9:11. The interesting thing is, the Lord has awaken me right on time for me to see this. I ask the Lord to give me understanding on this. At first I thought about September 11 but after reading the chapter in Isaiah 30, I understand now that 911 is God, calling all His servants that are listening to Him, to not only pray but to lift their voices like a shofar and speak what the Father is saying.

 

God has given the message to Jesus who is the dispatcher and Jesus sends the message to us. We, His servants, are the ones who are in the ambulance driving around waiting on the call. He is sending us out to help His people who are in danger.

 

I realize by the Spirit of God that this 911 is not September 11 but a 911 call. If you think back on September 11, the emergency crews received a call after the attacks happened but God is doing the opposite. He is sending out the call before something happens. I write this introduction so that you may understand why I must share this word.

 

So what is the emergency?  

There are those in the church who are in a rebellious state (state of being) which puts them in a state of emergency. To walk in rebellion is to have a heart that is cold and resistance to the will of God. You know what to do but you refuse to do it. As we look at this chapter, God is releasing a warning to the church of today. He says in verse one that destruction is certain for my rebellious children (church).

 

I speak to the church right now. God said that this is certain. You don’t have to wonder, ponder, or guess because I am giving you truth says God. Because of His love for you, He is saying that destruction is at your door because of your rebellion.

These are the other things that are making the church rebellious:

• Plans made contrary to the will of God
• A web of plans woven today not from His Spirit
• The church has gone to find help from those in Egypt, without consulting God
• Putting their trust in Pharaoh’s protection
• A refusal to hear the law of the Lord (The law here speaks of the prophet’s instruction, which is from the Lord)
• The church tells the seers not to see and the prophets to prophesy the right things to them.

I speak once again to the church. The bible makes it very clear that being in this state of rebellion will bring you only destruction, disgrace, humiliation, and shame. In the commentary of my bible, I read this profound statement, “To choose not to obey the Lord is to reject Him, even to despise His message.”

 

For a long time the church has quoted Isaiah 54:17 which says;

But in that coming day, no weapon turned against you will succeed. And everyone who tells lies in court will be brought to justice. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken!

 

This scripture is not for those who are walking in rebellion. Lets look at the verses before this one and I’ll expound on it.

 

Isaiah 54:14-17

¹⁴You will live under a government that is just and fair. Your enemies will stay far away; you will live in peace. Terror will not come near. ¹⁵If any nation comes to fight you, it will not be because I sent them to punish you. Your enemies will always be defeated because I am on your side. ¹⁶I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals beneath the forge and makes the weapons of destruction. And I have created the armies that destroy. ¹⁷But in that coming day, no weapon turned against you will succeed. And everyone who tells lies in court will be brought to justice. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken!

 

God would use His children’s enemies as His hand of correction when they were in a state of rebellion. The church has confessed this scripture over and over and over again but has seen no vindication. The reason why is that the church is in a state of rebellion. Vindication is not for the rebellious.

 

Vindication means; the act of vindicating or defending against criticism or censure etc. ,defense; excuse; justification. God cannot be your defender is you choose in your heart to continually disobey Him. The enemy has tricked the church into thinking that God rewards disobedience. Not so! 

 

I pray that the church would stop listening to the enemy and go back to listen to Jesus. If the church would repent, He said in Isaiah 30:19-22;

 

 ¹⁹ O people in Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. ²⁰ Although the Lord has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher. ²¹ Your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left. ²² And you will defile your graven images overlaid with silver, and your molten images plated with gold. You will scatter them as an impure thing, and say to them, ”Be gone!”

 

 My prayer, is that the servants of the Lord who are hearing this same thing about the church, to rise up, pray, speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It’s time for the church to move from rebellion to obedience so that this world can see the real children of God.

 

 

Luke 6:38 – KJV
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. 
 
Luke 6:38 – New American Standard
“Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure–pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.” 
 
Luke 6:38 – New Living Translation
If you give, you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use in giving – large or small – it will be used to measure what is given back to you.”
 
Luke 6:38 – Amplified
Give, and [gifts] will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour into [the pouch formed by] the bosom [of your robe and used as a bag]. For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others], it will be measured back to you.
 
We received a letter from the IRS announcing that the Economic Stimulus Payment Notice was passed by Congress and President Bush signed it into law. This is called the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008.
 
The Lord said to me that this natural act was a manifestation of what happened in the spirit we he declared a release on February 15, 2008 (See Deuteronomy 15). According the the scripture above, we are to expect gifts from men who’s hearts God has touched to give and that we are to make room for it. The Lord is saying right now that this is the reason for the change. Yes, we have felt the shifting in our spirits and in the natural but it was only God moving things out so that the new could be brought in. Some of us felt like we were being pruned and torn down but it was only God tearing down the old so that He could build a bigger you. He tore down the business to make it bigger. He brought you out of old relationships, to bring you into a better one. He moved you away from one place to bring you into a bigger place.
 
Psalm 66:11 – Amplified 
You caused men to ride over our heads [when we were prostrate]; we went through fire and through water, but You brought us out into a broad, moist place [to abundance and refreshment and the open air].  

Luke 4:18 – Message
God’s Spirit is on me; he’s chosen me to preach the Message of good news to the poor, Sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, To set the burdened and battered free, to announce, “This is God’s year to act!”
 
According to the scripture above, what was really passed was “God’s Act of 2008″. This will not end because in the natural it was made into law. Remember, this only mirrors the season that heaven has pronounced; New Beginnings and New Things. All of this is happening in the SPRING.
 
Isaiah 43:18-19 - Amplified

Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. 

 

Isaiah 43:18-19 - Message
“Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is! I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands.
 
These are not just natural gifts but spiritual gifts the Lord will give and He is making room in us for the spiritual gifts. He is stretching us out. The Lord is saying that we have right now a big sign on us that says “Expansion Project 2008″. He had us in the heat or fire only to expand us so that we would have room for more gifts. We were a bunch dough rolled up in a ball and place in the middle of the cooking pan to be placed in the oven. Once the dough is in the oven, it doesn’t rise it expanse. If you place yeast in the dough, it will rise without the heat. That is why, Jesus said to be careful of the yeast of the Pharisees. Those who want to give you their religious schemes that don’t require you to get in the heat or fire.
 
You see God wants to expand us His way so that He can get the glory. He doesn’t want us to just rise but to expand. If we look at the word rise, there is one letter that explains it all, “I”. The religious schemes will cause the “I” to rise. This where we hear the statements, “I did this on my own or Look at what I’ve done to attain these gifts”, but when we look at the word expand, there is no ”I’ to be found.  This expansion will not come out of our own abilities. What God does will last, what the religous system produces will fail.
 
So be encouraged and “Behold, God’s Act of 2008″.   

 

In this year of new beginnings, the Lord reminded me this morning during prayer of the revelation He gave me out of Jeremiah 1:10-12.  

NKJV Version

9Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.  10See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.”
11Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”
12Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.”   

We see in verse 10, God was explaining to Jeremiah how He was going to use him to execute His judgment on the earth. Before there can ever be a building or planting, there must be an uprooting by God. We see this everyday on a construction site. Before the new carpet is laid and lumber is connected together to make a frame, the trucks are turning over dirt to expose the things that are hidden that will cause harm or future damage to the new building.  In verse 11, the question to Jeremiah was a very powerful one but also important. Here he saw an almond tree that blossomed while the other trees were dormant. The word tree in the Hebrew means (to wake, watch, to keep watch of, be alert). The meaning of this was that God was ready to release or perform His word of judgment on Israel. God told Jeremiah, you have seen well. The judgment of God has blossomed. Judgment means in the Hebrew (to judge, govern, vindicate, punish, to rule, to act as law-giver, to decide controversy of man, avenged, defend). You see, just like the almond tree blossoming before it’s time, God’s judgment has come at a time when the people have not expected. In our natural minds we say, “God won’t judge now, it’s a time of blessing”.

This is why the question to Jeremiah was important because as a prophet of God, He could not be detoured by the opinions of others because of their deafness and blindness to word of God. So God had to test him. God was also saying here that not only do I want you to see that this almond tree has blossomed but I want you to see and know the timing. I am ready says God to perform my word. Jeremiah couldn’t let anyone tell him that God was going to do this at another time, why, because he saw it with his own eyes. As we go through this year, we are going to see God performing His word. God does not want us to be afraid. These things must take place. Remember Psalm 91:7-8 says: 

NKJV Version

7 A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. 8 Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked.  

This year is not only the beginning of the abundance of wealth, prosperity, and blessings but also the year that God shall exalt one (ministries, business, people, etc…) and bring another down.  

James 4:10 NAS

Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you. Isaiah 2:12 NKJV For the day of the LORD of hosts Shall come upon everything proud and lofty, Upon everything lifted up– And it shall be brought low.

God is exalting or raising up those who are humble and bringing low those who are proud. He is also judging everything that has brought harm to his precious possession.  

Zechariah 2:8-9 NKJV Version

8“After a period of glory, the LORD Almighty sent me against the nations who oppressed you. For he said, ‘Anyone who harms you harms my most precious possession. 9I will raise my fist to crush them, and their own slaves will plunder them.’ Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me.”  

He is also giving us the land as an inheritance. Where there has been evil practices going on, God is rooting them out to give us the land. I see by the spirit right now stores, music studios, church buildings, and companies being rooted out because there have been sacrificial worship to many gods.

 Joshua 1:10-11

10Joshua then commanded the leaders of Israel, 11“Go through the camp and tell the people to get their provisions ready. In three days you will cross the Jordan River and take possession of the land (Canaan) the LORD your God has given you.”  Do not be surprised when you see even ministries being rooted out of buildings because of the evil practices not just behind the scenes but also out in the open. I also see secular and christian programs/networks being rooted out.  Especially the christian/church because the bible says in 1 Peter 4:7: NLT

17For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin first among God’s own children. And if even we Christians must be judged, what terrible fate awaits those who have never believed God’s Good News? 

In closing let us stay humble and pray for those who have refused to hear the voice of God, that they may return to the heart of repentance. 

Psalm 51:17

The sacrifice you want is a broken spirit. A broken and repentant heart, O God, you will not despise.

 

Hello Everyone,I recently posted a word that the Lord gave me concerning a spiritual audit coming to the body of Yeshua (Jesus). Here is part two of that word but, before I release it, lets look at Matthew 13:24-43 NLT.²⁴Here is another story Jesus told: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field. ²⁵But that night as everyone slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat. ²⁶When the crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew. ²⁷The farmer’s servants came and told him, ‘Sir, the field where you planted that good seed is full of weeds!’ ²⁸“‘An enemy has done it!’ the farmer exclaimed. “‘Shall we pull out the weeds?’ they asked. ²⁹“He replied, ‘No, you’ll hurt the wheat if you do. ³⁰Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the weeds and burn them and to put the wheat in the barn.’” The Lord said to me that there are Pastor who are just like this farmer. You have stood before the people of God and sowed good seed but when the crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew. You saw the weeds and knew you didn’t plant those seeds. God says, “There’s an enemy in you’re midst”. While you were resting, your enemy came and sowed bad seeds.The bible says in John 10:10 that “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness”. Your enemy is also a thief. God told to me to tell every Pastor and Leader that has sown good seeds but are seeing weeds right along with the wheat, “There is a Thief in the house”.Thief in the greek means an an embezzler, pilferer

1. the name is transferred to false teachers, who do not care to instruct men, but abuse their confidence for their own gain , pilferer

God says that there are those in the house of the Lord who are influenced by this spirit. Using their mouths to deliberately sow seeds that turn into weeds. You may say well, how are they killing and destroying. God says that they are trying kill and destroy your reputation. The bible says in Matt 13:27, the farmer servants said to him that the place where you sowed is full of weeds. This verse in the New American Standard bible says “The slaves of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 
  In other words, they questioned what he was sowing (preaching/teaching), his ability to know the difference between good and bad seed, and  ultimately his ability to sow period. This spirit planted seeds of  false accusation (opinion or decision given concerning anything, a charge) and discord (strife, contention) . In this season of auditing, there is also vindication that comes from the Lord:Isaiah 54:17- But in that coming day, no weapon turned against you will succeed. And everyone who tells lies in court will be brought to justice. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken!
 
The bible says in Matt 13: 28-30, the servants ask should the weeds be pulled up but the farmer said, not until the harvest.Harvest in the greek – harvest, the act of reaping a.       fig. of the gathering of men into the kingdom of God b.      referring to time of reaping, the final judgment, when the righteous are gathered into the kingdom of God and the wicked are cast into hell for ever Judgement is apart of the time of harvest.God is going to expose and judge this spirit in this season.I pray that every Pastor and Leader, who has encountered this spirit in the past months and even years, be healed now in Jesus Name. Receive now the vindication that comes from the Lord, Amen.
