I say this to each of us as members of the Body of Christ, unless a gossiper meets the fulness of authority (God) on their way to tell “a friend” of the “sins of others,” he cannot submit to the authority and commands stated in the Scriptures, often making righteous excuses for their defiant disobedience to the Holy guidelines written in the Word (Matthew 18:15-17). This is a public episode. If yo...

This shows us that anyone who knows of His guidelines, and defies, will have to meet the primary authority (God) alone. Once this is accomplished, he then can honorably submit to others God has put in authority to assist in accomplishing His will, particularly those who preach & teach the Gospel. If their authority defiles the guidelines in the stated Scriptures, they are to isolate themselves fro...

When someone is trying to involve you in an offensive diatribe relating to someone else, the best thing to ask is: Why are you telling me this? Pastoral counselors say that this is effective for a couple of reasons. First, the question immediately disrupts any self-serving motive from the gossiper. Second, the phrase forces them to face the fact that you’re probably none-too-happy about being invo...

Almost every time, the person initiating the gossip will be taken back by the question. Almost every time, they will not have a good excuse as to why they are including you in the conversation. Based upon their response it’s much easier to simply state: I don’t wish to be involved, or You should discuss this with him/her personally. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with othe...

Do not associate with a gossip. He who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets, therefore do not associate with a gossip. (Pro 20:19) In a strange and “like-God” way, I realized that most saved and unsaved people have gossiped about one another – to such an extent that many victims have been destroyed – reputation wise. Even though that might have been the goal for some gossipers, the damage has...

The Hebrew word translated “gossip,” lashon ha-ra, in the Old Testament is defined as “one who reveals secrets, a familiar trader, one who goes about as a talebearer or scandal-monger.” A gossiper is a person who has privileged information about people and proceeds to reveal that information to those who have no business knowing it. In fact, studies show that gossipers typically gossip to those wh...

In eternity there are two great things: being indwelt by Christ and submitting to the authority of the indwelt One. In other words, to trust and obey. The Bible shows us that the definition of sin is falling short of the Laws of the Father (1 John 3:4). In Romans 2:12 the phrase “without the law” is the same as having no laws to submit oneself (lawless). To be lawless is to disregard the authority...

To disobey is a matter of rejecting known laws, but to be lawless is a matter of rejecting the reality of existing laws. The Millennial age is one of lawlessness; ignoring the existence of the Holy and His Laws. At the same time, authority will have less and less place in the world – resulting in a reign of lawlessness. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers...

Before Jonah realized the importance of authority, he wanted to eradicate (remove) the presence of the Lord the earth. But after he was forced to deal with the presence of the Lord in the belly of the fish, he realized that it was difficult to kick against the will and hand of God (His authority) with his feet (man’s energy). He was guided through ordained circumstances into the belly of his own f...

Bible says that God upholds all things by the Word, which is of His authority (Heb. 1:3b). It does not say that God upholds all things by His power. POWER is what is released through authority to accomplish the “doing.” God’s authority represents God Himself; God’s POWER only represents God’s works. This is a public episode.

All of mankind's works are birthed from the throne of God; God’s throne is established through the authorship of God sitting on His throne. AUTHORITY is only established AFTER God wrote the Book of Life – so that all things could, and would, be created by the authority of God. Once this was done, He could release His Laws upon the earth and thus require submission of His authored Laws WITH His sel...

The Word of the Father came to the prophet, Ezekiel, communicating an accurate description of the enemy (Satan). When reading about the leader of Tyre, you’re reading about Satan. Tyre means “rock in Palestine”. In Hebrew, “leader” means commander. Satan was and is the commander of the Palestinians (Ezek. 28:2a). This is a public episode.

Satan’s heart was lifted and he said, “I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the seas” (Ezek. 28:2b). He tried to make his heart like the heart of the Father. Satan simply used his wisdom and understanding to acquire power and riches. The Scriptures reveal to us that Satan is a god of wealth and materialism. Because of his great wisdom, he became lifted up, but only to be ultimatel...

Since most Millennials reject authority, thus resisting “father-figures” – they tend to run from the idea of adopting God ordained & appointed “spiritual-fathers.” The results of their illogical ideology is – they become their own delusional authority. This is what the Word calls “a fool,” one who attempts to steal the role of God the Father - an act that replicates the actions of SATAN. This is a...

Preserving the original family is a top priority for God. His flawless model is a clear demonstration of perfection regarding spiritual, relational, and physical relationships. God is pleased to announce that His heaven is secure and free from all forms of rebellion. This is a public episode.

The first family unit provided the Father with His central relationships, nurture, and support. God gave us an earthly model to live by through the order and preexisting relationships He had/has in heaven. His creation was based upon an order and flow that He was most familiar with--His own.

The view the Millennial Generation has adopted regarding “family” is a result of sin—that of being independent of God. God, the Father, has established a system of family through His divine order, birthed in His kingdom. The pain and bitterness caused by the “father of lies” through each earthly father and/or mother gives no one right to attack or attempt to change the order of family life here on...

Authority is a key component, if not the main key, in understanding how the Heavenly Father hands down individual missions and the power to carry out His orders. The enemy has erased the importance of honoring all authority. This is a public episode.

The core Truth is that God alone is the authority in all things; all the authorities of the earth are instituted by God; He passed such authority down to His Son; and then, placed His Son within the believer upon Salvation to demonstrate how He rules His Kingdom on earth.

In spite what Millennials tend to believe, the original family is not about to be broken up by an angel (angel of light/Satan) who thinks himself to be a father. God's role is not "up for grabs". He will not offer His seat to anyone--angel or man. God, the Father, considers it a major violation for any being to attempt to be like Him or to take on the role of the Father. This is a public episode....

It is unclear to us why God allows "self-will," even in the heavens. We can only assume that God created men and women with the same design of heaven. God created the angels with a will to choose whom they would serve. Satan (named Lucifer at the time) chose to be an adversary to the Father of heaven and paid a stiff penalty because of this act of declaring, "I will make myself to be like the Most...

The critical deception that needs to be uncovered regarding the Millennial Generation is the enemy’s objective of becoming the great Identity Thief – stealing the personal identity of Christ in the believer through the formation of the Self-Life Identity (Me-Me Identity).

It all starts with the common sin of the parents spoiling the child and sparing the child. Once the spoiled child syndrome has been established, the child will jump into the present culture that is inviting them into the all about me society, which indirectly sets the child up to serve Satan covertly or overtly – he cares not which. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with othe...
