Romans, 1–2 Corinthians, Galatians, EphesiansRomans ·      Written by Paul before he ever visited Rome. ·      Written to generate support for his desire to carry the Gospel to Spain. ·      Written as a more detailed (more detailed than Galatians) explanation of the gospel and of his theology·      Texts to Consider: Rom 1:8–17; Rom 3:21–26; Rom 15:17–291 Corinthians·      Written by Paul from Ephesus after he had visited Corinth.·      Written to correct and rebuke the Corinthians over division, toleration of sin, eating food sacrificed to idols, abuse of the Lords Supper, asking for financial support for church in Jerusalem, and other factors.·      Texts to Consider: 1 Cor 1:10–31; 1 Cor 13:1–132 Corinthians·      Written by Paul following the reception of his first letter and a “painful visit.” ·      Written to defend his own ministry in light of the disparagement from the Corinthians and the “Super-Apostles”·      Written to press the importance of completing the offering for the hurting church in Jerusalem·      Texts to Consider: 2 Cor 2:1–4; 2 Cor 2:12–3:3; 2 Cor 10:7–18; 2 Cor 11:4–6Galatians·      Written by Paul after his first missionary journey, but before the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) in 48 AD. This, if accurate, would make Galatians Paul's earliest letter.·      Written to rebuke the Galatian churches (probably the churches of Lystra, Derbe, etc.) for their forsaking the true gospel of justification by faith alone in Christ alone to try to live out the faith by adherence to the law. ·      Paul's shared some details of his first meetings with Peter and James. He makes the point strongly that the gospel that saved them is the same gospel that kept them saved.·      Texts to Consider: Gal 1:6–10; Gal 2:15–3:6Ephesians·      Written by Paul from Roman imprisonment (the one described at the end of Acts) in 60–62 AD. Along with Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon called the Prison Epistles.·      Possibly a circular letter, meaning it went to more than just one church or one region. Some manuscripts don't include “in Ephesus” (Eph 1:1), and this book does not have many personal references. ·      Written to encourage believers to remember who they are positionally in Christ, and live that out practically in a broken world.·      Texts to Consider: Eph 1:19–2:10; Eph 2:11–22; 4:1–7; Eph 4:22–5:2; Eph 5:31–33

A new MP3 sermon from Grace Baptist Church, Woodhaven, NYC is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: No Super Apostles Speaker: Peter Nicotra Broadcaster: Grace Baptist Church, Woodhaven, NYC Event: Sunday Service Date: 7/7/2024 Bible: 2 Corinthians 11:5-6 Length: 50 min.

Key Phrase—v. 21b: "But whatever anyone else dares to boast of—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast of that." (ESV)Aim: To Appreciate God's True Apostles and Ministers

Paul's second letter to the church in Corinth is a heartfelt letter stemming from the issues he faced with this church he planted and dearly loved. Paul's enemies, the so-called “Super Apostles”, are discrediting his authority as an apostle on the grounds of his afflictions. Little did they know how God is equipping Paul through his sufferings.

We continue here in our examination of what Paul called the Super-Apostles, that is, those who opposed Paul throughout his ministry. These men criticized Paul as weak in stature and speech, preaching a gospel that encouraged sin, and pointed to his imprisonment as Paul's just punishment. But Paul says his sufferings prove he is truly Christ's apostle, that his weaknesses place Christ's power on display, and so we ought follow his example.

Not pulling any punches, Paul continues to call out the work of false teachers for what it really is: the work of Satan to undermine the Body of Christ.

Books by Dr. Geivett Religious Epistemology: https://amzn.to/40cqiRz Books on the NAR: 1. Counterfeit Kingdom: https://amzn.to/43tsyab 2. A New Apostolic Reformation: https://amzn.to/3UzwqlS 3. God's Super-Apostles: https://amzn.to/3A026rb

Paul mocks the false teachers by calling them super-apostles. They deem themselves to be so special that they treat the Corinthian believers harshly and make demands on them. Paul contrasts his sacrificial behavior and generosity with their greed and egos. This message warns us how to spot these false-teachers in sheep's clothing and what to do about them. It also promises us we will be rewarded for what we do, and they will be paid back for their greed and deception.

In this episode of Doxalogic, Scott and Chris discuss a growing movement called the New Apostolic Reformation.  Below are books on the New Apostolic Reformation:Counterfeit Kingdom by R. Douglas GeivettGod's Super-Apostles by R. Douglas Geivett and Holly Pivec

Corinth was one of the largest and most important cities in the Roman world during Paul's days. It was steeped in paganism and every form of wicked distraction. It was also a place Paul spent several years. It's no wonder that Paul wrote two of his most forceful and humble letters to this people that he grew to love so much.In his second (biblically published) letter to the Corinthians, Paul encourages the people he loves to press on to know God and follow Him more closely, something each one of us needs to hear today.-----------LINKS----------Support 10WB on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/10weekbibleThe 10 Week Bible - http://www.10WeekBible.comTwitter: @DarrenHibbs - https://twitter.com/DarrenHibbsSign up for my newsletter - http://www.darrenhibbs.comGet a copy of the 10 Week Bible Study today - https://www.amazon.com/Darren-Hibbs/e/B00B4I47CE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl2&tag=darrenhcom0a-20&linkId=401f3d79974c70929517936977e32df9My other YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChUU0XHSHuhSyN8qk-7efYgSupport the show

Counterfeit Kingdom reveals dangers and distortions of New Apostolic Reformation & its influence on American ChurchA dangerous set of teachings is shaping America's worship songs, ministries and political engagement. This new movement is influencing many churches and individual Christians, often without their realization. But is this biblical Christianity?The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a popular, new movement of Christians who emphasize signs and wonders and teach that God is giving new revelation through new “apostles” and “prophets.” While much of what NAR leaders put forth may seem mainstream at first glance, a study of its teachings and practices reveals troubling underpinnings.In their new book Counterfeit Kingdom, apologists and NAR experts Holly Pivec and Doug Geivett show how NAR's key tenets distort the gospel of grace and diminish the deity of Jesus, as well as include New Age practices. The book also includes personal stories that have flooded Pivec's and Geivett's inboxes over the years from those who have experienced spiritual abuse in NAR churches from those who claim authority.Counterfeit Kingdom aids every believer in the vital work of discernment and best-selling author Alisa Childers calls it the “most important book you will read this year.” In addition, Pivec and Geivett hope their book will aid church leaders in understanding NAR, giving them biblically grounded, practical suggestions for discipling individuals who are already influenced by false teachings.The church-at-large needs a wake-up call and Counterfeit Kingdom provides research, anecdotes and faithfulness to historic Christian teaching at just the right time.Purchase on AmazonHolly Pivec is a blogger, author, and speaker, as well as a pastor's wife and homeschooling mom.

The so called "Super-Apostles" turn out to be not very super and certainly not apostles.  In fact, they are deceivers who are beguiling people just like Satan did to Eve in the Garden of Eden.They come in disguise. They come disguised as apostles, Christians, in the family, on mission, and as servants for the King.  In truth, they are the opposite of all those things.  Unlike Eve, let's take a step back and identify truth from falsehood.  Let's see past the disguise to the real actor.  Let's not do what Eve did. Let's stick to truth.  I don't know a better way to do that than to stick to His Word in the Bible.  That's why there will be another step in the New Testament tomorrow. We'll send you  the blog and podcast if you go to bewithme.us and subscribe.

On October 10, 2022, a five page statement was released online titled NAR and Christian Nationalism Statement. Dr. Michael Brown and Joseph Mattera were said to have co-drafted this document. A handful of signatures from known leaders in the Charismatic movement were noted on the statement, along with a few hundred ministers to date. This document attempted to address some of the issues regarding the New Apostolic Reformation as well as Christian nationalism. Or did it? Join me as we take a look at the portion dealing with the NAR and we examine some pertinent information in correlation to this statement.

Does the church need modern Super Apostles?  If you ask some, the American Church's greatest need is to recover and continue the Neo-Evangelical vision of Carl Henry and Billy Graham? Trevin Wax and the folks over at The Gospel Coaltion seem to take this position.   At the heart of this vision is the need rediscovery of modern day theological and cultural gatekeepers that follow in the footsteps of Henry and Graham.  What are the merits of this vision?  Does it work?  Will it rescue the conservative evangelicalism from it's current divisions? Tom and Ryan breakdown Trevin's recent article called “Why I'm Not Kissing Evangelicalism Goodbye” along side a response from R. Scott Clark over at the Heidelblog.  We hope our assessment is both helpful and fair.

Remain receptive to biblical truth while rejecting counterfeits & cults.

This week we'll be studying 2 Corinthians 10:12-18 under the theme "COMPARISON - RULE 4 - "Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today." If you don't find your identity in the gift of Christ's righteousness, you're going to look for it comparing some aspect of your life against the lives of others, just the way the rest of the world establishes identity. This week, Paul teaches us something about self-image as he contrasts his ministry with that of a group who considered themselves "Super Apostles."

The Corinthians want Paul to boast about himself and his credentials as the Super Apostles had. Paul's having none of it. He flips the matter on its head, boasting in weakness. 

THIS MESSAGE IN PODCAST FORM IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT ADDRESSES WHAT IS WEIGHING HEAVILY ON MOST OF OUR HEARTS, AND IS MOST LIKELY ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE ARE ALL PROBABLY QUESTIONING AND PONDERING AT THIS TIME.   By Mary Lindow through the Holy Spirit THIS MESSAGE IN PODCAST FORM IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT ADDRESSES WHAT IS WEIGHING HEAVILY ON MOST OF OUR HEARTS, AND IS MOST LIKELY ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE ARE ALL PROBABLY QUESTIONING AND PONDERING AT THIS TIME.   There is going to be a time of ministering prophetic words at the end of this message, but the message itself is a prophetic “now timing” word that is burning in my heart. I will share that with you that it is prophetic and has warnings from the Lord as well as encouraging words and insights regarding what we need to be preparing for at this time.    WHAT THE LORD IMPRESSED ME WITH THROUGH THIS PROPHETIC INSIGHT/TEACHING IS THIS, Whenever there is a fresh wave or move of God's Plan in the earth in regard to the redeeming of souls, there is also a counter movement at work among the "religious" and also the prideful “elite” intellectuals of the day. These situations are brought on through the influence of evil spirits who have been assigned to try and destroy the future generations of passionate and unspoiled servants of grace that God would plan to use in the earth. The “Sons and Daughters" of the King.    AS WE BEGIN TO SEE THE DAWNING OF THE PROMISED WAVE OF GOD'S GREATEST HARVEST EVENT EVER KNOWN TO MAN SINCE THE BIRTH OF CHRIST JESUS, THE LORD IS GOING TO ALLOW THE "HEROD TYPE OF ATTITUDES" TO BE JUSTLY ADDRESSED. There are those who were once deeply a part of what God was doing and have “lost" that so called advantage to either the aging process, transition in ministry, or through focusing strictly on their own ministry advancement and the love for “public applause” and popularity.   HONESTLY! YOU WOULD THINK THAT AS WE ARE SEEING BIOLOGICAL GLOBAL WAR AND INFILTRATION TAKING PLACE,that the Body of Christ would stop all programs and plans, and be sober! Sober, Repenting for Passivity and Indifference to God's warning voice, and then be literally having every meeting or gathering focused on strong prayer, strong worship, lifted up to the God of all creation, which is a massive weapon of warfare against the evil shroud attempting to suffocate the planet.     HOW CAN WE EXPLAIN THIS WAVE OF THE LOSS OF SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT AND POWER?  HOW DOES THE DEVIL STEAL THE VERY HEART OUT OF THE CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE?   One thing is certain. It doesn't happen suddenly or overnight.   PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LOVE FOR THE TRUTH BY DEGREES. Little by little, they lower their standards and compromise their faith, until nothing remains except a dead, empty, angry and bitter form.   SOME, LIKE LOT'S WIFE, will be so married to the world, so enmeshed in its delicious intellectual and sociological "one-upmanship" that they cannot let go in time. They will have to suffer with terrible and shocking consequences over the things that they loved more than they loved God.   OTHERS LIKE LOT, will awaken just in time to choose very quickly and decisively. Without taking a backward glance, they will move out in complete obedience to the will of God. My friends. This is the choice everyone faces.   LOT'S WIFE SUFFERED TERRIBLE CONSEQUENCES WHEN SHE PLAYED WITH THE WORD OF A HOLY GOD. She was dragging her feet and resented having to leave the life she had grown to adore in every way. The offense of looking back upon the luxury, sensual and "modernized" lifestyle that she had grown to love, exposed her divided will. It also revealed the fact that her heart was still bound up with the affairs of a corrupt and condemned social order.   TWO VOICES WERE COMPETING FOR HER FAITHFULNESS AND STEADFASTNESS IN THE FACE OF TEMPTATION.   The Voice of heaven – the Voice of God, calling her to liberty, purity, and salvation. And the other voice? The voice of the darkness – the voice of popularity and pleasure, the voice of Sodom. Slowly the voice from beneath gained a foothold in a badly bent conscience… … and Lot's wife stands as a tragic example of a divided heart.   JESUS SAID, "REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE," AND HE SAID IT TO THOSE WHO WOULD LIVE THROUGH THE FINAL TRAUMATIC MOMENTS OF EARTH'S HISTORY. He is saying it to the believer right now–"Remember Lot's wife." We need to hear it again and again. The message that says, "Obedience is better than anything else in revealing our love." Jesus said so. "If you love me, keep my commandments."   FRIENDS. DISOBEDIENCE IS WORSE THAN ANYTHING BECAUSE IT IS AN ACT OF DISLOYALTY IN ITS VERY NATURE.   THERE IS A STATEMENT I ONCE HEARD THAT SAID, “PEOPLE BECOME LIKE THE GOD THEY SERVE.” Now think about that statement. And then think about the current world system and those attempting to encroach upon every human being until they are worn down.   Science without the Supreme Being God Almighty, the Creator, worships the counterfeit god. Lucifer.   God:  He is a Super Dynamic Creative. He Created Colors, Light, Air, Weather Systems of perfection, Land, Minerals, Water (salt and not salty), plants of all sorts/ medicinal, edible, sheltering, and some simply for beauty. God Delighted in the creation and nurturing of perfectly formed humans, whom He loves.   Lucifer:  The counter fitter, is super destructive, destroys colors, loves grey and darkness, thrives on destroying land, Minerals, waters, abusing plants and delights in torturing and confusing humans for revenge against God Almighty.  He loves false power and graft.   Do you see those or know those who laugh at or who don't believe in a living active God? Well, they are trapped in a bitter heart narrative by the limited god of only this world. Lucifer. They have become like him. Bitter, abusive, angry that they can't dictate to God and change his plans, and they are filled with doubts and rage. Because that's what Lucifer does to humans. He lies to them and traps their minds, and weakens them to keep them from encountering and embracing the Father of their very own, forever.   “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” -2 Corinthians 11:14   “In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God the Father.” -2 Corinthians 4:4   SOME OF THE EVIL SPIRITS LUCIFER USES, COME AND TAUNT THOSE WITH OLD RELIGIOUS RESIDUAL MINDSETS.  Those who feel that there is a "deserved" spiritual hierarchy, in the ranks of the King. Many have assumed that because they have labored and have paved the pathway with their life's blood for the next wave of the King, that they “deserve a place of special recognition” and a form of "holding onto the leash" of those they have coming up “underneath” them.  If this is not humbly acknowledged and repented of, this can cause what the scripture calls, “exasperating your children" to occur. Colossians. 3:21 says, “Fathers, do not exasperate your children,  That they may not lose heart.”  This creates an atmosphere of shame and pushes many into a place of frustration in not wanting to dishonor their mentors, but feel that they will be watched in their every move and smugly, with an “accusing raising of the eyebrows" be "discussed" in demeaning terms, as they too try to reach their destinies and calling in the Way of the Lord.    THE LORD HAS RECENTLY BEEN IMPRESSING ME ABOUT WHAT GOES ON IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO NOT ALLOW OTHERS TO BE PROMOTED OR TO RISE ABOVE THEM IN ANY AREA THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE EITHER AT ONE TIME HELD INFLUENCE IN OR WHO ARE AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME, THE LEAD OR MAIN VOICE OR AN ORGANIZATION, A MINISTRY, OR INSTITUTION.   This can occur in a business situation, or in ministry settings where only after you have jumped through certain hoops of performance or other "tests” you will possibly then be esteemed of “useful” value and perhaps be allowed a place of input or respect among the “hierarchy of the day”.    THE LORD IS LOVINGLY ALLOWING PAINFUL TRAVAIL TO OCCUR, in order for the current generation of Fathers and Mothers in the faith to see that through releasing and affirming the sons and daughters in their care, or… who are now, (due to the season) moving past them in influence or in special anointing, that they too WILL once again, run hard and multiply themselves through Imparting and sending out the new wave of the King's regiments!     ARE WE OR HINDERING OR HARVESTING? The hidden prophetic and travailing element of individuals who are being shaped into the fabric of God's own weaving are currently being made ready for a swift and dynamic change of pace. What was once long and hard will become shortened and filled with rest. Release of God's grace and abundant mercy is coming into fulfillment as you end your course of instructions for this season. But you are not done running the race by a long stretch!   MANY OF YOU ARE IN YOUR LATE 40'S TO YOUR MID 60'S. You have not had the pleasure of faithful mentoring. So. With some of you, the Lord has instead, made your life one of mentoring and preparing others. Look now at the pathway the Lord has allowed you to pave, and one that others might walk upon when they too experience times of darkness and difficulty. Your lives have a Divine Radiance that has prepared a “footing" for them in Christ, so that they may not stumble and fail. Lay down the insecure need to control anything that you are afraid might not go the way that YOU think God should be moving. It's really not up to us to maneuver or manipulate how God will choose to break out in power in conviction and in exposing the darkness in men's hearts. Let's begin with letting Him create clean hearts in us first.   THE FATHER IN HEAVEN INTENTIONALLY STRIPPED HIMSELF OF HIS GREATEST GLORY. HIS SON, in order that the wave of redemption needed in the earth might be brought forth through the Son. In doing so, the Father was glorified, exalted, and further honored by allowing this Son to fulfill His part of the Triune plan.  Why is this not modeled by more of those who are calling themselves, Leaders, “Bishops”  - Apostles, or even now the newly developed term, “Super Apostles”?   THIS IS A SPIRIT ON THE LOOSE FROM HELL!  It is nothing more than a "mimic" of the spirit of pride that Lucifer operated in, and it operates in many others now. It has been working hard to invade the minds of many who at one time were in the forefront of specific moves of God or who were key leaders in areas of ministry building in the past.   THIS SPIRIT OPERATES MUCH LIKE HOW HEROD THE GREAT DID DURING THE TIME WHEN THE SAVIOR WAS ABOUT TO BE BORN IN THE EARTH. Herod was so terribly afraid that someone would "snuff him out" or would "out do" him that he lived in paranoia, and he constantly manipulated and curried favor in order to gain influence or access to whatever he needed to keep his stronghold of power intact.   THIS IS OCCURRING ON NATURAL WORLD GOVERNMENTAL STAGES AND PARALLELED IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AS WELL. Let's read in the Word about this first. In Matthew 2:1-6 is says, “After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him."  When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When he had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. "In Bethlehem in Judea," they replied, "for this is what the prophet has written:   “But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel. “   HEROD WAS A MAN WHO EXPECTED OTHERS TO UNDERSTAND THAT HE WAS THE ONE WHO HELD ALL COMMAND.  There was no room at the table for those who would not sway his way! He used smooth talk with other "Kings" and influential leaders to obtain information and tasty morsels of gossip to plan his next move in order to keep his position intact. As the Chief Priest and keepers of the law were called together, (they walked on eggshells around Herod,) the WORD of God spoke about this humble little town where a new ruler was to be “raised up"  (NOTE THIS STATEMENT) —> and would care for the people, causing a wave of Spiritual “Sonic Booms” that would forever shake and change the world!   HEROD DIDN'T CARE FOR PEOPLE!  They were supposed to care for him and fear him! And grovel! He had worked hard and had jousted and manipulated constantly to gain all of this power and honor! Matthew Ch. 2: 7-8  says, "Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared.   He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and make a careful search for the child.  As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”   NOTICE THAT HEROD GATHERED THE 3 KINGS INTO HIS CHAMBERS “SECRETLY”…  ...To hide his plan from the Priests and lawmakers and with a "slimy" oozing, well-cultivated and deceptive tongue, tried to appear ever so interested in the new "child" that was in his way. He acted out in false humility, and used it to try to obtain information as to where his "upstart enemy" might be located. He wanted to "at least" honor him and worship him too!  In all reality, Herod wanted to go and scope out where this new king might live, and see what he had to compete with… … and then, KILL HIM.   But! God had planned that the next wave of his power on the earth must come through a childlike and poor son. One who would not get stuck in traditional posturing or in the trends of the era. One who would not manipulate with intellect, cunningness, or through lofty ambition.   GOD HAD GIVEN OF HIS SEED… …HIS living prepared pathway.  He gave it ALL into the next "generation of His Presence" and the move of His glory in the earth.  Into a SON…  …Who had lived in the very Presence of God and was one with Him.   Now! About Those, ”THREE WISE MEN." "After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was." -Matthew 2:9    These three Kings had "heard the true intentions" of King Herod's "heart". They were discerning men, and realized that after having been "hauled off" by Herod to a very secretive meeting to inquire about this new "ministry" and possible challenger of Herod's rule, something was a little off beat! Herod had left a very "Saccharine" aftertaste in the mouths of the Wise men and, wisely, they still stayed on the course that God had led them on and met the TRUE KING OF GLORY. He was lowly, He was innocent and pure, and He radiated the pure light and presence of God Himself.    THESE MEN DIDN'T NEED POMP OR STRONG-ARMED, PRIDEFUL LEADERSHIP to cause them to bow down and give honor to this tiny King! No! The simple humility of the "Promise to come" was enough to cause them to bow their knees and worship the King of heaven. Their reward was to have a visitation in their dreams to not return, nor to converse with Herod about the new wave of glory that would be coming through this child. Matthew 2:12 “And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.”    I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU A PROPHETIC WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT NOW. SOMETHING THAT I FEEL THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS GIVEN TO ME AS A PROPHETIC WORD OR UTTERANCE.    “For I the Lord have prodded, whispered, shouted, and commanded many to assist you in paving the way. If you are weary of waiting for releases and the fulfilled promise, take what you now have and in reckless abandonment cast it upon the water. I will see to it that you will not be left with empty hands.   I bless what is little if it is given in humility and obedience, rather than much given in false humility and personal safety. Come to the place of safety! Under My shadowed wing.   Anguish has been your companion too long as well as the gaping ache for friends that stick closer than a brother.  I have begun building relationships among you that stem from brokenness in each of you, and also where you have learned the value of discretion. See Me fulfill and direct your path.  Watch the answers dawn upon your list of asked, and yet unanswered questions.    I see the cunning liars in the world, laying in wait to trap and break the hearts of humanity! But I have called you to be bold and brave and filled with courage. I call you to stand again and stand against the raging seas of evil and watch me open up a way that leads you into safety and my very purposes for the world needing healing and deliverance. Stop all you can in the natural way of achievements and moving forward with your own way and plans. Call for days and nights of prayer. Father, Mother, Youth, Children! Older and Younger!   Intercede for those mocking the very Jesus they once loved. Intercede for the ignorant that are being chained to systems of great fear and bondage. Weep and pray and trust! Your bond to me will either hold you safe, or your resistance to me will feed fear and resentment. See ME as the One who can move upon the hearts of those who quickly obey when I touch their inner-man with compassion and spiritual insights.  I have a few in the earth who live...   ...To obey Me, Promptly."    I also sense in the Spirit that there are those in ministry who are listening, who have had “secret - almost affairs", in their office with other women, and some who have, and you have hidden it from your wife and have banished these people from your fellowship. The Lord sees it and the Lord knows about it. There are some who have been “absconding with money” and some that have been gambling with cash. They have a gambling addiction and the Father is saying that He is giving them a chance to come clean and to tell the truth now, because everything in your life that can be shaken, will be shaken. There are also those who are mocking and making fun of the Spirit of God, saying that it has become “an old thing” and they are ashamed of the gifts of the Spirit. They no longer allow the flowing of the gifts of the Spirit unless it comes through one person. The Father wants you to know that when you restrain the Spirit of God, when you restrain His voice, that he will scatter the sheep and send them where there is freedom. The Lord is encouraging me to share that there are some at this point who are seeking money instead of the goodness of the people in their fellowship. They are more concerned about money and power and keeping their own bank account stoked rather that taking care of the Orphans and Widows and those who are in distress around them. The Lord wants you to know that this funding that you have in your pocket can get a hole in it just as quickly as it has come in, but, as you cast your bread, as you share, that you must humble yourself and release the spirit of fear in you that thinks that God will not financially provide in another way, or you are going to mess it up, you will bring tragedy on the call of God on your life.  I want to speak to those Mothers who are suffering right now and Fathers with children who seem to have gone AWOL from the Lord. That they have become literally “verbal activists” for darkness.    As parents, you have been questioning, “What did we do? What did we say? Were we too stern? Were we too soft? Were we too “spiritual” or were we not spiritual enough? Were we blind?”   The Lord wants you to know that if you have repented of everything that you know to do, and have attempted to talk these things out with your children, that He does not hold you accountable for their sins or for their disobedience. Your job is to stand and pray, and stand and pray, and stand and pray some more and watch God do the work. You cannot project what you think that He is going to do. Your job is to PRAY. His job is to do what He sees best to keep them from giving in, to the total darkness that is trying to suck them in.    I KNOW THAT THIS WAS A STRONG TEACHING AND HAD WORDS THAT WERE UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT WE ARE LIVING IN TREACHEROUS AND DIFFICULT TIMES. However, we need to be integral with what the Lord shares with us whether people like us, or not.   Father we take these words and we ponder and chew on them. We discern them and go over them with your word. We pray about them. And, we will obey the Spirit promptly and make things right with those we need to, in order to not deflect these warnings and words and be trapped by the enemy. Satan is good at betrayal and slandering and will find a way to expose mankind and point a finger and mock the sons of God. Lord! We need you more than we have ever needed you before!   Duplication and sharing of this message is welcomed provided that complete message, Podcast and website information for Mary Lindow is included.

WHI Classic • In his second letter to the Corinthians, Paul warned his readers about various slick preachers that he referred to as the "super-apostles." Though their style was smooth and rhetorically attractive, the substance of the gospel was either being ignored or distorted. So Paul admonishes the Corinthians church saying, "if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus...you put up with it readily enough!" On this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts discuss Paul's concerns about style over substance, especially as it relates to trends in the contemporary church (originally Aird 08-28-11). __________ Sign up now to join Michael Horton and others for one of our two-day Modern Reformation Weekend Conferences.
