Satan is the master of inspiration for all false doctrine or that fact, anything that has to do with false, even in the world of unbelievers. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15(b) says, For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. Even as Satan may appear as an angel of light, so false apostles, teachers, preachers may have a “good” appearance. Paul is showing the Corinthian Christians how foolish it is to rely on image and outward appearances.

Here are several characteristics of false teachers/preachers:

·        False Teachers are men-pleasers. Such smooth teachers are sweet soul-poisoners. Jeremiah 23:16-17 says, Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, filling you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord. They say continually to those who despise the word of the Lord, ‘It shall be well with you’; and to everyone who stubbornly follows his own heart, they say, ‘No disaster shall come upon you.’”

·        False Teachers throw dirt at Christ’s people. They cast dirt, scorn, and reproach upon the persons, names, and credits of Christ's most faithful ambassadors. For example, Paul, that apostle of the Gentiles, had his ministry undermined and his reputation blasted by false teachers: 'For his letters'' say they, 'are weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak and contemptible' (2 Cor. 10:10). The false teachers looked upon Paul as a dunce rather than a doctor. And the Scribes and Pharisees laboured for their life to build their own credit upon by attempting to ruin Christ’s reputation.

·        False Teachers Gain from Their Followers. False teachers make merchandise of their followers. 'But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not' (2 Peter 2:1-3). They eye your goods, pick your purse, so they may have your substance to serve themselves, they are great worshippers of the golden calf. (Jeremiah 6:13)

Listen, you do not have to pay peddlers/merchants for the Word of God, you can study for yourself, if you study and spend time in the Word, the Holy Spirit will reveal the truth to you for free. Paul said in Acts 20:33, that he desired no one’s gold or silver or clothing. Paul also refused the support from some churches so they could not accuse him of greed, (1 Corinthians 9:15-19).

2 Corinthians 2:17 says, For we are not like the many, peddling the word of God [acting like merchants, preaching for profit and personal gain]; but as of sincerity [uncompromised motives], but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ [God is watching].

2 Corinthians 4:2 says, But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully [falsifying God’s Word]; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God [God is watching].

This podcast discussion is about that old sin of racism that will be discussed from a spiritual perspective.

God created freedom and He is very concerned about the just treatment of people, God hates injustice, by the fact that God sent Jesus Christ to die on the cross to free those who believe on his name from the bondage and slavery of sin. God has continuously delivered the Israelites of old from bondage/slavery to other nations. God created human beings with a free will partly which is the opportunity to make choices that genuinely affects destiny. The world’s current sinful state is directly linked to choices made by Adam and Eve. God created mankind in His own image, and that included the ability to choose. Since God created human beings to be free, no one has the right to place human beings in bondage, if you do, God will come against you to free those who are held in bondage against their will.

The church is the Body of Christ with many members who are disciples/followers of Christ. Christ who is the founder of the church, he laid his life down and died for the church. Christ is the recruiter for the Body of Christ it was His body that died on the cross, it was His body that rose from the grave. Believers follow Christ and are about our Father’s business, not man’s business (as some used the church as a disguise for their personal business). The church should not resort to business marketing strategies to draw people, John 12:32 says And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

When Jesus told Peter upon this rock I will build my church, Jesus is the rock, the foundation upon which to build.  Jesus was not saying upon this rock I will build a 5,000 sq. ft. building with glass stained windows.  Jesus said the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church (body of believers). For instance, the early church was under intense opposition, persecution and attacks from the gates of hell, but Jesus conquered the grave so that the gates of hell (power of death) will not prevail or defeat those who are in Christ.

Metaphorically in scriptures, the church is referred to as the Bride of Christ used to describe God’s relationship with his beloved bride. God reveals Himself to be faithful, loving and committed to a covenant union with his church that encompasses all those who believe in Jesus Christ and have accepted His atonement and gift of salvation by way of the cross. The functionality of the church is referred to in the Word of God as the Body of Christ made up of one body, Christ as the head (who is the chief cornerstone) and many members without hierarchy, superiority or inferiority and should function in unity of the Spirit of God.

Covid-19 is an invisible enemy, meaning we are fighting an enemy we cannot see but has manifested itself in physical form through symptoms, disease and death. What makes people indifferent or not take this war on the coronavirus serious in everyday living, is that people tend to ignore or not believe what they cannot see. The coronavirus carries spiritual implications and valuable lessons that can be learned from this pandemic. What message is the Lord conveying to all mankind including the church? Most importantly are we listening and learning? He who has ears, let him hear the Word of the Lord, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.

God’s grace has been offered to all mankind and is unmerited, meaning there is nothing anyone can do to earn God’s grace, it’s given as a gift, “For it is by grace that you have been saved through faith, and not that of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one may boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Grace is not seasonal, it’s conditional because the condition is that a person must receive it! God’s grace is the result of eternal life and whosoever believeth in Him can receive this wonderful gift.

In these millennial times the bible is considered irrelevant, old fashion and outdated. God’s Word has been twisted, sugar coated, watered down, picked apart under great scrutiny, misunderstood, misinterpreted, taken out of context, folks have added to, taken away from the Word of God for their own agendas, yet the pure unadulterated Word of God has stood the test of time, has stood in criticisms, has stood in rejection, has stood in avoidance, has stood in doubt and unbelief, has stood in hatred, scorn and despisement. God is real even if people are offended, Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God and the only provision for salvation, even if people are offended, the Bible is true, even if people are offended, Judgment Day is coming even if people are offended. Believers need to face the fact that there is no way to present the truth about Jesus and salvation without some folks being offended.
