False Doctrine

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly content for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.  For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviouness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.  I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.  And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.  Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.  Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.  Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.  But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.   Woe unto them!  For they have one in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.”  (Jude 1:3-11)

There are many scripture references throughout the New Testament, warning believers to steer clear from “False Doctrine”, and those who profess to be “teachers of the word” and yet are teaching contrary to what is written.  These references warns us to remain steadfast in the TRUTH, holding firmly to that which we’ve heard and learned from the beginning.   For with much craftiness, and alluring speech there will rise up many who will preach and teach doctrine opposite of the word,  and by twisting the truth for their own evil purposes,  will manipulate many into believing and receiving a lie, thereby causing many to stumble.  Such warnings are written here in the Epistle of Jude. 

Consisting of only one Chapter, yet verse by verse the Epistle of Jude is filled with great spiritual truth and warnings giving example of how judgement fell and shall fall upon those who not only TEACH contrary to The Word, but those who RECEIVE their teachings.  In this book Jude wastes no time in warning the believers of certain men who entered into the midst of them and began perverting the Gospel of our Lord through their vain and wicked teachings.   Their speech was subtle, yet alluring enough to capture the heart of the hearer that he began following after the “doctrine of lies”.  It is clear through the reading of Jude, these “false teachers” lived immoral and ungodly lives and sought to teach others to live in like manner.  They twisted the blessed grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, causing others to believe they could live as they please and yet remain “saved” and in doing so, DENIED the authority of Christ who IS LORD over ALL!  These “Wolves in sheep clothing” (as the Lord defines them to be in the book of Matt 7:15) end destruction will come upon them as a whirlwind for such hated knowledge, and choose NOT the fear of The Lord teaching others the same.  They kept the little sheep from the TRUTH, bombarding their hearts with LIES.  WOE BE UNTO THEM and ALL who pervert the truth of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and lead just ONE SHEEP astray.

Jude warned of this “False Doctrine” then and NOW as The same twisted doctrine is being preached in many pulpits TODAY and is leading many to the gates of hell, rather than to the kingdom of Heaven.  For many “false teachers” have used the scripture reference taken from Eph. 2:8-9 rather LOOSELY giving off the illusion that one can live in the manner he/she choose without any consequence or judgement of willful sin.  That scripture reads as: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.”   Now, let us CLEARLY understand this scripture is not given in a form of CONDONING foolish, reckless, and ungodly living but is merely declaring that salvation CANNOT be earned but is a GIFT from God THROUGH Jesus Christ our Lord.  To preach otherwise is FALSE DOCTRINE and I will declare it to the face of any man or woman who profess to KNOW the truth.  To attempt to cover up WILLFUL SIN by merely declaring “I’m saved by grace” is not only grossly  perverting the Grace of our Lord, but also DENYING His authority in your life.  If you indeed declare that JESUS IS LORD OF YOUR LIFE, how can this be so if you are living your life as YOU choose and teaching others the same.   To be LORD over something/someone is to be THE MASTER and He will not be declared as Lord over a portion of your life, the only parts you are willing to give up.  He is to be Lord over ALL and if he’s not in your life, you have then attempted to usurp authority over HIM! 

The danger with misuse of the scriptures is that it takes responsibility from the believer and attempts to lay  ALL the responsibility upon The Lord.  Let’s clarify this once and for all, He owes us NOTHING as He’s already paid the price for what we should have been condemned for.  We have an obligation and RESPONSIBILTY to live according to His commands IF we say we belong to Him.  Thus we CANNOT teach grace ONLY, and NOT teach REPENTANCE.  Repentance of sin is absolutely essential for one who seeks The Lord and HIS gift of salvation.  We cannot even GENUINELY come to him seeking without first renouncing and rejecting the sins of our flesh, in Godly sorrow and true repentance of the wickedness thereof.   For it should be the very STENCH of sin that draws us to the foot of the cross seeking forgiveness and CLEANSING, hating what he hates and loving what HE LOVES.  We come NOT to Him seeking only a “free” ticket to heaven, but in acknowledging His sacrifice for us that we may have opportunity for “eternal life with Him”, we come in genuine sorrow repenting of the sins of our flesh that NAILED HIM TO THE CROSS!  We must understand the IMPORTANCE of REPENTANCE, before we can even begin to understand the POWER of GRACE!  To not openly rebuke sin within the body of Christ, and to teach men/women that it’s rather “okay” for after all we are “saved by grace”, is to cause many to stumble and perhaps never make it into the kingdom of Heaven.  WOE TO YOU….WOE TO YOU who teach this “False Doctrine” to the Lord’s sheep for YOU have the greater sin. We cannot go on sinning living hateful, wicked and immoral lives and still find GRACE and favor in the eyes of The Lord!  To say it is so, is a lie and woe to ANY MAN/WOMAN who lead even ONE little precious lamb away from the truth with this deception.  You shall not escape the wrath of Almighty God as he will not overlook deliberate misleading of His sheep.   No one shall escape his wrath who does so.

There is much false doctrine preached in the church today thus we must be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves, declaring the truth and exposing the lies.  I urge you my brethren to seek the scriptures DAILY and if you have need of spiritual understanding, ASK of The Lord and He WILL  provide as He will NOT deny you understanding.  He has appointed some Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Evangelists, and teachers and HE WILL declare the truth of His word  through those HE (not man) has chosen!  And why did he choose such: “For the  perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ”  and how long will this be needed: “Till we ALL come in the UNITY of the FAITH, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: that we henceforth be no more children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE, may GROW UP INTO HIM IN ALL THINGS, which is the head, even Christ:  From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which EVERY joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself IN LOVE.” (Eph 4:12-16) Pray to the Lord to raise up MORE who would willingly and lovingly care for HIS sheep.  Teaching the truth as he has commanded.

Abba,

Thank you Father for hearing my prayer and answering.  I pray Adonai for your precious children.  I ask you Father for a hedge of protection around the hearts and minds and discernment to know the truth from the lie.  Let not the ears be opened to hear any other doctrine other than the Gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord.  Let not the hearts be receptive to the cunning crafty speech of those who teach opposite of your truth.   May spiritual eyes be opened to clearly see the intent of the words being spoken whether they be of you.  If any sheep has wandered away, or have been led astray through the teaching of false doctrine, Father I beg you to send your true shepherds after them to bring them back into the fold and let them not wander in dead pastures where there is no nourishment.  I thank you father for those who’ve carefully and lovingly watched over your sheep, but I pray my Lord raise up more.  Send those who would keep a watchful eye upon the flock, keeping the wolves far from them by preaching and teaching your truths that the hearts may be filled with spiritual understanding so much so that nothing would be able to persuade them to believe a lying tongue.   Father I pray, protect the hearts and minds of your sheep.  Cover and protect your precious sheep.  In the mighty Name of Y’shua I pray…   

I Love you all so very much.  Have a blessed week in the Lord and remember:  Whatever we do, do ALL for the GLORY of GOD, who ALONE is worthy of the GLORY and the PRAISE!

The Lord be with you this day and always!  Shalom Uvracha (Peace and Blessings)
