BEWARE THE LEAVEN OF THE PHARISEE and SADDUCEE!!!

BEWARE OF THE LEAVEN OF THE PHARISEE and SADDUCEE in the CHURCH

A person could have an intellectual discussion but salvation does not take place. Only until the gospel of the Kingdom is preached and received does conversion take place. I have been recently aware of more and more ministries these days that attack those saints who are Holy Spirit-filled by mocking them and verbally assaulting them. Well I am one of them. In fact, I am the same sort of Christian that you see walking with the Lord and the demonstration of power that operates through Jesus name in the new testament. I do see miracles and witnessed great healings to God be all the Glory. But most importantly, people are coming to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior personally. This blog was written to expose the spirit of the Pharisee and Sadducee so that the disciples of Christ can identify in their day and reject it so that they are not led into perdition by joining forces with the spirit of antichrist. It is unfortunate that believers fail to judge themselves before they open their mouths and consider the source of where we get our information before present it.

It is real easy to see how a person would criticize a Holy Spirit-filled pastor who is being blessed financially, teaches holy living and being led by the Holy Spirit when those very critics have attached themselves to Para-church "Christian ministries" who make their living by dividing the body of Christ and creating strongholds of rebellion in the hearts of their listeners. Churches and people who critize another ministries for having extra money are the ones who are actually covetous about money. That's why many of them refuse to tithe, give generously, and keep their pastors just about the poverty line. Surely they have been overcome by the love of money as the pharisees were in biblical times. In a day when the gospel ought be preached and financially supported to go around the world these pharisees work night and day to teach people not to give and seek "Self" first instead of God's Kingdom and His righteousness. Such Para-church "ministries" could be better called parasitic ministries. They preach the Gospel of Poverty appear to be motivated by false humilty and intellectual pride. Repent before it is too late. They have not been a success until they have splintered enough church members off from the Bible-believing and teaching churches that they don't agree with in order to seek them as their own financial partners.

Do you ever see those carnally minded Para-church ministries giving to the poor, helping the needy, and clothing the naked? When they preach the gospel, does it appear to be a mere intellectual discourse? Do they preach that salvation is the decision of a persons' will and by following their special prayer formula they can assure their spot in heaven? Many "false" converts have been won on that basis. Does the way they convey their salvation message appear to be born from the will of man, when John 1:13 clearly says this is NOT the way to receive the Lord?

Signs and wonders should follow those who believe on the Lord Jesus; believers are not supposed to follow signs. Do they minimize or scoff at the work of the Holy Spirit and teach others to blaspheme the work of the Holy Spirit within people's lives by calling it all from the devil. (ei. Tongue, healings, miracles, holiness, conviction, trembling in holy reverence before the Lord, lifting holy hands, dancing before the Lord, Prophecy, laying on of hands, and power the hear and obey God's voice.) Where is the passion for God in their lives to worship Him? Who are they really worshipping when they attack the members of the body of Christ who are being lead by the Holy Spirit? The anointing is the enabling power of God to get a task or job done. Truly, truly I say unto you, whosoever is anti-anointing - IS ANTI-CHRIST, because CHRIST IS the Anointed One and His Anointing and by their word and actions they reject that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. (1 John 4:3, 2 John 1:7)

You see deception works both ways. One groups attitude sees a little Jesus whom they think they can boss around to serve the BIG "I" of themselves and anothers attitude sees a BIG Devil who is everywhere and in everything which must be defeated by their little intellects. The first deceived person becomes swelled up with pride and self-importance. The second person inflated with false-humility. Both feed the flesh because ultimately man in still in control, because Jesus is merely their Lord in word only, not in deed. They have both made a religion out of Christianity. Religion is man's substitute for a relationship with God. Jesus Christ never came bring us a religion; He came to give us a Kingdom.

The Gospel of the Kingdom


The first group becomes filled with pride such that during worship they sing more about and confess most about who they are instead of who Christ Jesus is in their life. The second group is so cowardly and fearful about how big and prevalent the devil is that they hardly ever have a desire to praise and worship the Lord because they fear that Satan will come in the room somehow to receive their praise. (yet through their fear and unbelief he already has) "Self"-propelled saints build large ministries and do great projects that cause others to marvel however even these can be signs and wonders. The true saints of Christ need to remain married to Christ Jesus and not to a man or women in ministry because people fail - God never fails.

Deception has rendered both groups useless and lifeless. Some peoples faith in devil is so great that they find themselves believing that he is everywhere and they will even try to give Satan the credit for the things that the Holy Spirit has done and accomplishes within the body of Christ. That is a disgrace.

Cults have denied the deity of Christ in our day, but I submit to you that others in Christendom seem to have practically denied the humanity of Christ. The only covenant that the God of the Bible ever accepted was a blood covenant. Although the first Adam (the first human) broke His covenant with God condemning the entire human race resulting in a severed relationship from God. God sent His very word enclosed in human flesh to accomplish what He pleased in order to restore it.

If God is as Good as his word, then His word is as Good as God. The first chapter of the gospel of John declares that "the Word was God." John 1:1-3 Furthermore, when Jesus said, "this is my blood the blood of the new covenant do this in remembrance of Me.," He expected His followers to understand that the covenant relationship God and man was about to be re-established and those who are in Christ Jesus are about to become completely NEW Creatures (new species of being) before God. We are His workmanship created IN CHRIST JESUS for good works. Even the manner of the scourging of Christ was a complete picture of a sacrificial lamb for the slaughter. Through His resurrection He makes all the promises of God yes and amen to us today, because He is seated at the right hand of the Father.

Our covenant relationship with God is not based on mental ascent or from the efforts of man's will. That covenant access to God based on the covenant that Jesus had with the Father because He was slain before the foundation of the world. The body of Jesus was merely a tool that God used to literally absorb all the sin, inquity, and transgression of those who trusted Him as their savior. When His Body died, our sin and death sentence that we deserved died with Him. That's how He condemned sin in the flesh. When He arose, those in Christ arose with Him and are currently seated in heavenly places with Him.

Jesus came to restore to Mankind all that Adam had lost in the garden; the Kingdom of God in operation of the Earth. Thus Jesus is the KING of kings, the Lord (Owner) of lords. We are his stewards on this earth and he called us to occupy until He comes back. (as demonstrates within His parables) It was God's original intent that we be conformed to the image of the son. Since Jesus is the Image of the invisible God, Adam and all humanity's physical make-up and disposition was patterned and originally designed after Christ before his incarnation. "Man was created in the Image of God."

Scripture clearly says that those who deny that Christ came in the flesh is anti-Christ. Demons hate the idea of Christ coming in the flesh because they LOSE their control over people. But it is written, "Christ in us the hope of Glory." We are NOT "little christs." Jesus IS THE CHRIST the SON of the LIVING GOD. Many in our day have failed recognize the body of Christ, whose house we are. (1 Corinthians 11:29-32, Hebrews 3:6)

Jesus said, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisee and Sadducee." (Matthew 16:6) The Spirit of the Pharisee believes in the resurrection theoretically but does not experience that resurrection life through Christ Jesus. Pharisees thought they had eternal life merely reading the scriptures, but Jesus said they (the scriptures) testify of Him. (John 5:39 ) Pharisee's sought to kill Christ (the anointed one and His anointing) because the Holy Spirit convicts them or sin and challenges their defiant wills. (John 7:19, John 8:37, John 8:40)

The Sadducees were so intellectual that they ultimately did not believe in the power of God nor the resurrection. O Oh ... The gospel is the power of God unto Salvation. (Romans 1:16, 2 Timothy 1:8) Jesus is the wisdom of God and Power of God. (1 Corinthians 1:24, 1 Corinthians 2:5) I am certain that the Sadducees in Jesus' day would have used some of the very same atheistic arguments against the Lord Jesus Christ that some "christians" use TODAY against the Disciples of Christ. How is it that some "Christians" find themselves in better company with the stingy and the Atheists by aligning with their destructive philosophy of life and their attitudes against members of the body of Christ who believe the Bible and are led by the Holy Spirit? They seem eager to look for opportunities to throw the baby out with bath water when they resist the demonstration of Christ in this world. The Holy Spirit is the governor of the Kingdom of God.

This is a great opportunity for us to examine ourselves to see if we be of the faith.

"Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is IN you?--unless indeed you are disqualified." (2 Corinthians 13:5)

The real saints of the Lord Jesus Christ preach the gospel of the Kingdom. It is Satan who does not want the demonstration of the signs that follow those who believe because it reinforces his defeat on this Earth. Those who believe in Christ Jesus as their King do not follow signs, the signs ought to follow us who are in Christ Jesus. For years men have preached the wrong message and it has given birth to more rebellion against God on this earth.

Matthew 24:4-31
10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Those who attack anointed holy spirit-filled ministries are slowing becoming antichrist because they are anti-Holy Spirit. How could this be? Because our bodies were meant to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Yet these imposters have sought to replace Christ with "self." The term lord means owner. If Jesus Christ is a persons savior but not Lord he cannot be their Savior either. "All who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Jesus called the pharisees murderers because they resembled more like Satan who blasphemed and was a murderer from the beginning.

John 8:42-44
42 Jesus said to them (the Pharisees), "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. 43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Jesus clearly declared that He is the Christ when said that He proceeded from the Father. The pharisees in the church not only murder with their their tongues they raise up generations that look more like a child of Satan than they do.

Matthew 23:15
Jesus said, "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves."

Their proselytes are on YouTube and GodTube, and I am not surprised that they have made a packs and agreements with the Herods and Caesars of our day in order to serve the very same "god of self" with the pagans.


1 John 4:1-3
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

1 John 2:20-27
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-12
3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains (the Holy Spirit) will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one (Antichrist) will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth (Jesus himself is the truth), that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness (doing their own thing).

John 1:12
But as many as received Him (Jesus), to them He (Jesus) gave the right (the authority, the capacity, the power) to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood (you can't get right from being born physically), nor of the will of the flesh (you can't get that right from desiring it to be), nor of the will of man (You can't receive this right by the exercise of human will, but of God (that right is brought forth from God).

My deepest concern is that peoples disrespect of Holy Spirit and efforts by many other Pharisee/ Sadducee teachers will inspire more blasphemy against the Holy Spirit by calling the work that the Holy Spirit is doing within people as from Satan. That has always been Satan's backdoor approach to get Christians into perdition.

I have recently been bombarded with a number of YouTubes that were anti-holy spirit and that called the work of the Holy Spirit as from satan. Honestly, it is possible that some of the things may NOT be of God. But if we do not know, we should not judge it. I remember when I was a sophomore or junior in high school and my family visited the Bailey's house. We saw Benny Hinn ministering to people. When I saw benny throw as it appeared an invisible ball at a man and he flew back six feet in the air. Even though that man was delivered, I immediately began to say out loud "That could not be of God." Even before I could get the words out of my month, it was one of the few times that I heard God audibly. When He spoke it was louder than any human words coupled with the sense of His conviction "Be careful Hilton. Watch your words." I immediately held my hand to my month, and repented because I really didn't know. I was looking on the outside but God looks at the heart. On that basis I was forgiven. But from that day on you can be sure, I had a holy reverence for God and for His mighty power to save, deliver and heal. Jesus specifically said that is a sin that can never be forgiven.

Mt 12:32 -
Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.



Lu 12:10 -
And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven

This was meant to be an outreach to the body of Christ. I wanted them to see from the scriptures the scary truth that just one of the ways to be antichrist is to be anti-Holy Spirit. It is an attitude that prepares people for an antichrist because ultimately "self" seats on the throne as god and not Christ.

As it relates to the rapture or the "catching away" (in the greek), I and most believers in Christ believe that Jesus is coming back bodily because they believe He ascended bodily and the angel said in like manner he shall return. Other scriptures relate "with great power and glory and wil be like lightening from the east to the west (the whole earth will know about it) I am concern about some of the pre-trib teaching because it seems to so much more focused on a physical temple building that is being built for the antichrist than becoming the temple of the Holy Spirit which will be prepared for Christ's return. Paul writes:

1Cor 6:19
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

Jesus himself said that to those who endure to the end, the same shall be saved and not everyone who says Lord Lord is actually going into His heaven nor have entered into His kingdom.

Lifting holy hands to worship God is biblical
Ps 28:2
Hear the voice of my supplications When I cry to You, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

It is amazing how this man with the spirit of the Pharisee creates more law over his listeners " Thou Shalt NOT lift your hands before the Lord your God."

Even Paul said this: 1Ti 2:8
I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;

There are many more examples of how quick some are to throw the baby (the Holy Spirit) out with the bath water they notice a poor example of a disciple of Christ.

In Christ Jesus my Lord (Owner),

P.S. There are some web sites that attack anointed Christian ministries that God has and is using today to evangelize and disciple the lost. I see no evidence of Jesus Christ in those ministries of division or the evidence of changed lives. Hank Hanegraaff has become a parasite in the body of Christ and has made money by dividing bible-believing / bible-teaching Christians. Hank helps Satan by attempting to reduce the Christian's faith and relationship with God to a carnal-minded relationship with strongholds of unbelief. Then he even has the audacity to mock and blaspheme the Holy Spirit by calling the works that God has done through Spirit-filled ministries as from Satan. Hank Hanegraaff diabolically preys on biblically weak Christians and those who despise spiritual authority to incite more divisions and schisms hindering the body of Christ effectiveness to reach a dying world. Then by blaspheming the Holy Spirit you have nothing in God and can do nothing for God.

Hank seems to be an Atheist in Christian clothing that talks like a Sadducee. Atheists who deny the supernatural also use the same arguments that Hank uses when attacking Holy spirit-filled Christian ministries. Hank's ministry has become a desolation, for God has refused him as a minister. He makes money dividing the body of Christ.

Christian Research Institute's Hank Hanegraaff had been accused of financial fraud and other criminal activities.
http://www.rapidnet.com/~jbeard/bdm/Psychology/cri/law.htm

Hank and like organizations regurgitate misquotes and misunderstandings that have been clarified by the Christ-centered ministries in order to perpetuate division. If Wisdom is know by her children compared to the 600 million people evangelized and disciple through the ministry of TBN, how many souls has Hank Hanegraaff or his disciples reached for heaven?

The gospel is the power of God unto salvation. Too many "Christians" have been preaching a message that doubts the relevance of God's promises and God's power is for today, and then wonder why people outside the Church believe truth is relative and the Bible irrelevant.
