J Vernon Mcgee on Marks of a false teacher.

Part 2 of 2.

Many Christians today will follow a liberal preacher, a false shepherd. There's always that danger, and it's one of the things Paul is warning of. He says the devil makes himself an angel of light. If you could really see him I think you'd see the most beautiful creature you've ever seen, and you can be deceived. There are abroad today many men who are handsome, dignified, never say an unkind word, just lovey-dovey all the way through. But they're apostles of Satan, you see. Nothing in the world but ministers of his. Now that is one group of false teachers, and I think they're easily detected today.

Now I come to another group, and that is the religious racketeer. I listened to one of them on the radio. Why, he preached the gospel, friends! He even believes in the inerrancy of Scripture. But Paul says beware of those that are taking you away from the simplicity of Christ. Now I detect one little thing in this man's teaching: It involves the idea of sending you little gadgets and going through all kinds of little performances and rituals. It takes you pretty far from the Word of God. That is taking you away from the simplicity that's in Christ. My friend, you and I are lost sinners and we come to Jesus Christ bringingnothingand receivingeverythingfrom Him. And if you're able to give, if you're able to serve, if you're able to witness - that all comes from Him. You can't do anything for Him without being filled by the Holy Spirit. That's the real test. You see, it's so easy to get away from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Part 1 of 2.

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works" ( 2 Corinthians 11:3,4,13-15). What are the marks of a false teacher or prophet? First of all, the man today who denies the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ is in the camp of liberalism, and Paul has labeled him a false prophet. That's why I'm rather hardboiled on the liberal preacher. You have a perfect right to deny the deity of Christ, but you have no right to claim to be a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ and then deny the very One that you are preaching. And then "apostle" is a title that doesn't belong to anybody today, so the minute anyone takes that title you can mark him off your list. The office of the apostles went out a long time ago, after the death of the original apostles and those who saw the living Christ. After that it's the written record that they gave to us that we are to turn to.

Part 2

It will always bring glory to the name of Jesus. If you asked a question, you may receive a scripture. You must find the scripture and pray. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you the meaning.

His voice is soft. It does not stampede you. Always write it down. Praise and worship the name of Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ.

Your heart will soar with joy unspeakable. Song of Solomon 5:2, 6:3, 7:10. He does speak to our spirit. Our soul does fall deeper in love...with the Lover of our souls.

This is deeper than male or female.

This is spiritual. This is a love in the spirit; between us and our Lord. The more time we spend with Him; the more precious is the love we give and receive.

Everything he speaks is Truth. Heaven will be like this. We can't mob Jesus. He can speak to us individually and personally, at the same time. That's how great He is.

I just want all to know they can stand this close to Jesus now. Take freely, the Water of Life.

God is good

Welcome to the world of The Antichrist. He doesn't want you to think or speak the Name of Jesus.

The same time Covid was revealed, government started closing down the churches. The church is still being persecuted! They want us to blame Jesus and His Church, for not warning us.

Type CHINA in this website SEARCH BOX. See what you see. China and Mideastern nations will be responsible for 3 PLAGUES (mass death events). The info has been in the Bible for 2000+ years. We all had a chance to discover that. But what do we do? We discuss and confuse people with varying explanation of scripture. Matthew 24 and Luke 21, scream it out.

SATAN IS A MASTER DECEIVER!! HE WANTS PEOPLE DEAD..and in hell with HIM!! If you were a very bad devil, what would you do? yes! This is the BLACK HORSEMAN OF DEATH. Unleashed.

Not only does the blood of JESUS save us; it inoculates us against disease. WE HAVE TO EXERCISE OUR FAITH and ASK for it. We must be Born Again through Jesus, into the Kingdom of God. Gotta walk in the Liberty HE has provided.

Your faith is strangling on POLITICAL PEOPLE who clearly do not follow Jesus Christ. Everyone became a mob (like the day They sentenced Jesus to die on the Cross). Prophesy is going to come true when people even know what that is. READ THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

Folks, read your Bibles. Pray over what you have read. Go look on google at the Past Pandemics List. Those are plagues. See where they came from. Ask your Senators and Reps. to sanction China foods, meat, everything. Demand that Big Business do the same. For the sake of our children.

Don't freak out. Think rationally. Make your vote be for LIFE. It's not a game of thrones.

"For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name."

I think Elijah and Moses are the Two Witnesses. That comes later.

I think the spirit of Elijah is here already. Along with the voices of false prophets.

So if anyone prophesies In the Name of God, and it doesn't come to pass; we are to not give them credibility or credence.

What we need to do is to read and soak it up like a sponge, what the Bible says about Elijah's life and ministry. It involves a lot of reading and taking some notes. Listen to some Greg Laurie videos on YouTube.

It takes much effort to be a 2021 Disciple of Jesus Christ. We have to learn it, teach it, and then preach it to the unlearned. Credit goes to Jesus Christ. Our reward is many more people readied for the Caught Up In The Clouds event.

We must ask the Holy Spirit to anoint us for the task. 1 Corinthians 12, ask for the best gifts for you.

This is the generation of Joel 2. And it has to be in your heart to be a part of that.

The arm of the Flesh cannot "Steady the Ark of God". We need the Anointing of the Holy Spirit. I'm thinking after Jesus went up in the clouds that His Disciples did not fuss or argue over what would become scripture later. Think about that.

There's going to be a huge push on evangelism. There are a lot of Matthew 24 SIGNS in the earth right now. 3 million Californians have moved elsewhere in the USA. They believe in the earthquake part; massive fires; landslides, droughts, no rainfall. That's 3 mil. we can witness to. If you got saved..you know enough to help someone else believe on Jesus. Leave some tracts on bus and park benches; laying on a sidewalk outside a Costco store or Goodwill.

At the Bema seat rewards/no rewards judgment your works will appear as gold if you helped someone believe.

I heard a Christian tell how he got saved. One Christian brother asks the other brother in front of an unbeliever, " Did you know Jesus died for our sins?!" The other guy says " why no! Tell me about it". It works :D

Think about it.

what does it mean that Yahushua was the second Adam?

Sure, love u in Christ

Hi Ann,

Perhaps this is what you are looking for.

Hebrews 9:27. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: ?

God bless

Brother like you I've shared with people its impossible to manifest fruit of the Spirit if your not walking by spirit. By the way nice sharing.

Free I understand and respect your input, that being said why would the apostle Paul say in 1 Corinthians 14:8 to the entire Corinthian church that he thanked God he spoke in tongues more than ye all and why would God take the Time in His Word to the Church from Chapter 12 to the end of 14 what to do and not to do but that things are done decent and in order. Keep something in mind this guy was given direct orders by Jesus Christ to preach and instruct the Church Jews and Gentiles. I am not saying I have always witnessed these things being done correct far from. Example I went to an assembly invited by a friend and the preacher walked up to the pulpit picked up a phone and literally told the congregation he was getting His Message from God on what to say. My friend said what do you think I said not buying it God doesn't need a phone to talk to anybody. So again peacefully I say God Bless and I'm done with this.

I'm with you Kenneth , maybe you have some English blood in you , we are mostly very private people , in person I am painfully shy and reserved , the only reason I can talk so freely on here is because if the anonymity , in my congregation women have their heads covered and their mouths closed , we have a weekly Bible class and for many decades women were not permitted to speak a word during it , we got a new presiding brother who decide to allow women to speak at our Bible class so I stopped going . The reason is because , on more than one occasion I have heard brethren say things that I believe we're wrong , in the past when this happened I couldn't say anything about it and this was very frustrating to me , however when we were aloud to speak I realised I just couldn't do it , even if a brother says something I think is wrong there is no way I'm going to embarrass him or myself by correcting him in front of our entire congregation , then I realised that one day I might do just that and that would be terrible for everyone . So I stopped going , basically because I don't trust myself and would never forgive myself for offending any of my congregation with my big stupid mouth . We don't have any one that speaks in tongues or shouts out during our services , we English are reserved to say the least and English Christians are the most reserved .

Adam P.S. I absolutely respect where your coming from and that being said i will say peace and God Bless.

Adam Just to make one point the apostle paul made the statement I Corinthians 14:18, I will not deny how many times I've watched the confusion with this area of christianity, but when things are done in proper order it does Glorify God. That is all that's on my heart to say. God Bless. There's a great statement I learned a long time ago experience is no guarantee when it comes to truth especially when it comes to spiritual matters and I realise that statement can go both ways.

Part 3.

"When I lived on the east coast in my younger years, there was a beautiful big maple tree in our backyard that would keep its leaves through the winter. The leaves were dead, but they still hung on to the branches. In the spring when the sap flowed, the new buds would finally push off the dead leaves. That's what happens when the Spirit of God grows His life in us-He pushes the old habits out of our lives as our new life in Christ grows stronger. Rather than try to pick off all the dead leaves and try to grow new leaves ourselves, we need to focus instead on cultivating our relationship with God and let the Holy Spirit deal with all the dead leaves." -J. Vernon McGee.

God bless.

Part 2 of 3.

Paul was speaking to believers when he said:

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. - Galatians 6:7-9

I personally believe that's a law of God, just like the law of gravity. If a farmer sows corn, you can be sure that he'll reap corn. If he sows wheat, he'll reap wheat. My friend, as a believer, if you are sowing to the flesh, you "will of the flesh reap corruption." There is no way around it.

Now, the child of God does not have to produce these things. We can produce the fruit of the Spirit. God has another principle:

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. - Galatians 5:22, 23

You can't produce these fruit by following the Law; in fact, there is not one of these lovely fruits that you can produce on your own. We are totally incapable; it can only be produced by the Holy Spirit."For the fruit of the Spirit,"Paul says in Ephesians 5:9,"is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth."You can know whether you are living by the flesh or living in the power, in the fullness, of the Holy Spirit by seeing if He is producing these fruits in your life.

Part 3 coming.

Gloria The Bible was written by men inspired by His Spirit so knowing what the rule book says about where to have our thought patterns has got a great deal with listening and not being distracted. That being said things to look at Mathew 6:19-34 and the take no thought is anxious thought, no fear of needs being met. Another Phillippians 4;6-9. Some other principles. He knows you personally, He will never have you do something against His Word. Also it will always Glorify God and the recipient and build the Body if Christ. It will never make you afraid and it will never be out of order because God is the author of all order. He won't make you do something that he knows you can't do. I'm sure there wull be more added. God Bless give em Heaven.

From Dr. J. Vernon McGee:

Part 1.

Jesus said,"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."- John 15:4, 5

If you were not raised in the country, you may not know that in every fruit orchard, there is always something else that tries to overcome the fruit. In nature, slugs and bugs and stinkweeds all attempt to crowd out the fruit. And in the life of the believer, there are always things that will attempt to crowd out the fruit of the Spirit. In other words, it's quite possible that the weeds grow and the fruit will not be produced. Paul spoke of that very thing in Galatians 5:17-

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

The flesh wants to have its way and is actually in competition against the Holy Spirit. So there is a danger of producing something besides fruit. And that which the flesh produces is not something that God can use; it's not fruit at all.

Paul himself experienced that struggle and described it in Romans 7:15:

For what I am doing[the new man wanted to produce fruit], I do not understand[the old nature would not do it].

You can be a child of God and be producing works of the flesh in your life, and if you are, you are not living by the Spirit of God. And I can tell you, if the works of the flesh are appearing in your life, you are a discontented and troublemaking child of God.

What book will I find as death finds you so shall the judgement

When I read and consider what the Bible says about it in 1 Corinthians 12:10 and 1 Cor 14:19, 1 Cor 14:5, I believe what Paul said. He already said it's not as important as prophesy, that not everyone has such a spiritual gift and that's ok, that it's only helpful if there's an interpreter, and that it's better to speak 5 intelligible words than ten thousand in a tongue.

I don't have the gift of tongues and if I attempted to do it, it would not be genuine. I have been in the presence of others who have done this and I knew them and unfortunately I felt they felt peer pressured into doing it and wasn't genuine. It was just gibberish and I thought it did more harm than good. Plus, there was no interpreter, so it was not done in according to scripture. No one understood it and it sounded fake. Based on what Paul wrote, I believe him and interpret this as a low priority that I shouldn't worry about. I also won't cast judgment on anyone else doing this who believes they are genuine. But in the cases I've seen this used it did not edify the church. God bless.

Hi Gloria.

In my opinion that sometimes can be tough. But we know it's going to line up with God's word. And this inward urge you may get want violate God's nature or his Commandments. And it should be spirit fed, "Fruit of the spirit "

Not much I can add, Hopefully others can help.

God bless.

Free P.S. I have personally eyewitnessed everything your talking about, that doesn't mean that everybody else who does it decent and in order are wrong. I am again ending this discussion prayerfully peacefully.

Free I understand God Bless.

That's what I mean by false information and you just posted it assuming it's true. The inaccurate covid PCR test is gives a high % of false positives. The millions who used to get flu are still getting flu but mislabeled as covid, which is why the stats show little to no flu, despite millions getting it all other years. 3 million die per year in the US proportionate to this growing population with open borders with sick and unhealthy illegals pouring in for free healthcare and money that hardworking people like us don't get. So, the millions of deaths are normal, are they not? 612k additional people didn't die, but some additional % have died from new causes of death from the oppression of lockdowns and masks: including pneumonia from wearing masks, heart disease and suicide from stress.

When you reward health providers with money for calling everything covid, of course they're going to label everything covid. Plus, the real info is in fine print on the CDC's own website that the deaths are all 'comorbidities' except for a tiny % fraction of that being just covid. This massive misinformation campaign fueled by media and political greed for power and control has indeed lead to deaths and blood on their hands, but not the kind of deaths being presented. This sure seems like some kind of antichrist is behind this great deceit. For those who drink the koolaid- enjoy the science behind being triple vaccinated and still wearing triple masks and being scared over a virus that's so bad that most don't even know they have it and at least 99.99% people survive it.

The church has much more too teach about than any of the creeds. Lost in a illusion of what they think is right, instead of what Jesus Said! How conflicted I am when Jesus children are once again mislead by another one of mans idea! Even before those who argued between one another leading us where we are today! Calvin, Martin Luther, even the catholic, still today writing books that lead to more questions. The phds, the docs, even today still missing the mark. Who is the savior of the world! This king, the holy one, this the son of God.

how do you know when god is speaking to you about anything

When will Elijah return

You ,like all of us want answers in a world spiraling out of control! Are these the beginning of sorrows ,the bible speaks of? Satan is at work like never before. Knowing the times, along with the uncertainty mixed with deception that we see are more evident everyday. The evil one wants more than ever to kill and destroy, death and hell are what He thrives on! who, what ,how or why, only God knows. He warns us not to be deceived, but in all our ways we are to acknowledge Him. If you understand these things happy are ye!

Every believer, abiding in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, is a saint! Scripture says we are saints! God is in Control! Judge not according to the flesh, but judge righteous judgment! I am resting in the promises of God. Pilate looked into Jesus eyes and asked him what is truth? Immediately after ,He turned and told the world I find no fault in this man ,no none at all. If you are looking into the eyes of Christ, you will also know the truth.
