Truth Is Confirmed Only By “The Spirit Of Truth”

Dear Friends in Christ Jesus our Lord,

After almost three months of exhausting and futile endeavor, we’re finally able to upload our Nuggets and other materials to our website. A heartfelt thank you to those of you who regularly remembered us in your prayers and to those who sent the emails that encouraged us to persevere and press on. Please click on the title to download our next Nugget, The Genuine Act In Mutual Accord Possessing Divine Power! Serving our Lord Jesus in mutual accord and being empowered by the spiritual gifts that are apportioned by the Holy Spirit are emphasized in Scripture. But both of these biblical commands are essentially ignored or even denied throughout nominal Christianity. We believe this is why the Holy Spirit inspired us to write this forthright Nugget concerning these biblical truths — to counter the demonic deception which permeates so much of Christendom.

“For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” (Revelation 19:10).

Over the decades we have encountered other prophetic voices who are attempting to expose and confront the spiritual powerlessness of nominal Christianity. If you’re reading what we send, then all we ask is that you take to heart the command in God’s Word, “Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies” (1Thessalonians 5:19,20; see also John 16:13). Our intent isn’t to be Christian writers or teachers. Rather, we are a couple who seek to hear the voice of our Lord’s Spirit during our prayer walks because He reveals to us what He wants us to produce to encourage, strengthen, admonish or warn you (2Peter 1:21). We just ask that you seek to confirm what you receive by means of the same Spirit. Concerning the current condition of Christianity in the US, we want to share some excerpts from an article written some 40 years ago by Paul Cain, a prophetic servant of our Lord, entitled, “The Anointing vs. Respectability”. We think you’ll find these insightful:

• Those who want respectability with men will usually end up doing that which is detestable in the sight of God to get it.

• Thomas Aquinas was once walking with a parish priest who called Thomas’ attention to a great cathedral, saying “Just look at that! We can no longer say ‘silver and gold have we none.’” Thomas’ reply was filled with remorse. “Neither can we say, ‘In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, rise up and walk.’”

• Our job on earth is not to gain the respect of the world but to save men from the world.

• Joining ourselves to the ways of the world is spiritual adultery, as James says in 4:4, calling men “you adulteresses!” We must repent of our adultery with the world. Seeking the friendship of the world puts us in jeopardy of making ourselves enemies of God.

• God’s wisdom is not of this world and cannot be understood from the world’s perspective. We cannot understand His wisdom when we are dominated by the cares and worries of the world.

• Jesus was misunderstood, His apostles were misunderstood ,as has been every prophet or messenger to bring revival to the church.

• God has not called us to be successful; He has called us to be obedient.

• It is embarrassing and awkward when you cannot defend yourself. When you know that you are right about something, but God does not allow you to defend yourself because He has a higher purpose. It is better to wait for eternity to vindicate us than insist upon it in this life.

• Jesus went about to DO and to TEACH (Acts 1:1). He did the works of God before He taught about them. If we had the same practice, there would be more working and less teaching. But the teaching that was done would accomplish far more than it seems to be doing now.

As Billy Graham said, if the Holy Spirit were withdrawn from the earth tonight, ninety percent of the church’s activity would go right on uninterrupted as though nothing had happened. 

(Several years ago we wrote about our friend preaching in England in the 1980s. He asked the congregation this question: “If Jesus Christ were dead, how long would you keep on doing what you’re doing here?” The people were convicted as they realized and admitted that everything would go on just as it had. The institution provided all that they needed or wanted to fulfill their social and religious needs).

• William Boothe, founder of the Salvation Army, once prophesied that the time would come when there would be Christianity without Christ, salvation without the blood, and religion without the Holy Ghost. How close are we to this condition?

The prophetic ministry is nothing more and nothing less than hearing God.

As you read these excerpts, we hope that if you’re living to please our Lord and bring glory to our heavenly Father, you won’t yearn to join others who are satisfied to sit passively in pews each week and then go on their merry way unconcerned for the salvation of others. As the Bible warns us, “they have the appearance of godliness, but deny its power. Avoid such people” (2Timothy 3:5).

“If [we]were trying to please people, we would not be servants of Christ” (Galatians 1:10).

If you have left nominal Christianity, or are prayerfully considering it, we realize there is a social cost to pay. You’ve enjoyed being in proximity to others who get together for weekly services and enjoyable programs and activities. But religious institutionalism can appear “successful” even when the vitality of Jesus isn’t real in your collective midst. That’s what is so deceptive about it. You think you’re pleasing God for all your activity and what you accomplish. Yet beneath the programs and entertainment lies a spiritual emptiness that few will admit. Religious institutionalism deceives you into feeling good about yourself even if our Lord Jesus isn’t evident.

During the years we have shared the Hebraic foundations, a number of people have asked us for advice after they’d left nominal Christianity and its social support system. We would encourage them with “Vertical” suggestions along the line of: 

“Don’t do anything until you have discovered the total sufficiency of our Lord Jesus.”

“Find out where you can bring our heavenly Father the greatest glory.”

“Discover where the Holy Spirit wants your spiritual gifts to be used.”

Regrettably, we’ve observed that many couldn’t overcome their human desire for the social support of nominal Christianity even if walking in obedient trust in Jesus as Lord of their lives was absent from the organization system. Some returned to the pew. Others, even without discovering the all-sufficiency of our Lord Jesus for themselves and their family, would join or even start a house church or home group just for social support. Spiritually they devolved into being what David Wilkerson called “middle grounders” — neither ‘here nor there.’ We once called them “almost Christians.” And our Lord Jesus condemns the “lukewarm” who are as attached to the world system and its ways as they are to their religious practices: “So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth” (Revelation 3:16).

We realize that this email may appear overly critical. But after having observed the lukewarmness of nominal Christianity for almost 50 years, we wanted to offer some insight to encourage those of you who are willing to pay the social cost to be true to our Lord Jesus. The life in Christ that’s love-grounded in obedient trust is willing to forfeit anything that takes away from it. How worthy He is in His all-sufficiency!

P.S. We know that what our heavenly Father recruited us to share of the Hebraic restoration is costly to embrace. This way of life stands against everything in self-appeasing nominal Christianity which you may have been part of. Some of you are unwilling to believe that our Father would allow theological lies to be tolerated on such a widespread basis over so many centuries. But what are centuries to an eternal God Whose purposes no one can fathom? We’ve written previously that the Bible remained hidden in Hebrew, Greek and Latin for over 1,100 years, languages understood only by the very few scholarly ecclesiastics. Religious authorities forbade it to be translated into common languages on penalty of death. For all those years God allowed His Word to be kept from everyday people. But now that you have the Bible in your language, make sure you live it!

May others experience the Light of Christ through you!

Dear Friends in Christ Jesus our Lord,

Please download our latest Nugget, Would Our Lord Jesus Commend You As His Ambassador? by clicking on the title. In this Nugget we write about the key role YOU have if you’re genuinely born again in living as our Lord’s ambassador. This service of loving and obedient trust is one of the core identifiers of being genuinely born again. Yet fewer and fewer ambassadors of our Lord Jesus are letting themselves be used this way by the indwelling Spirit as this nation has become increasingly immoral and gullible and fixated on meeting daily survival needs. This is NOT the time to step back in silence when a desperate world is cascading toward destruction!

The darker it gets in this nation, the more the genuine should be shining the light of our Lord Jesus into the hearts of those living in darkness. Examine your own heart and motives and values to see if YOU are hamstringing your own availability for the Spirit’s use by holding onto unconfessed sin. If you need to, repent. If you’re free of known sin, ask Him to help you see others around you through the eyes of Jesus — and take action as He prompts you! Please heed the urgent call that’s given to YOU if you’re genuine: “Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us put aside every impediment — that is, the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:1,2).

We who are genuinely born again in the Spirit must continue to be transformed by Him, becoming more like our Lord Jesus both in character and in fulfilling Father’s purposes. No matter how morally darkened this society and the political arena are becoming, if you are genuine you must follow in the footsteps of our Lord Jesus as His ambassador until you see Him face to face. Pierce your heart with this self-evaluation: Are YOU burdened for unbelievers with the same burden our Lord Jesus had for them when He hung on the cross on their behalf? If your heart is NOT concerned about the destiny of the lost for whom Jesus died and rose again, then all your self-appraisal about your Christian practices is meaningless — until you’re fulfilling your role as His loving and obedient ambassador on this planet. Your heart responding to His heart’s priorities evidences that He is real to you as your Lord.

Be on guard about those who are hijacking the “Hebraic Restoration” 

Over 30 years ago our heavenly Father commanded us to call what He is restoring, “the Hebraic Restoration”. In using this specific term, He was directing us back to the first Hebrew, Abraham, the man He called His friend (James 2:23), and to the trust based relationship which undergirded the obedience of Abraham. Everything which Father is restoring is found in the Bible. All of it is relationship-based with His children living in covenant union with Him through His Son Jesus by the indwelling Holy Spirit with the goal of fulfilling His purposes for His glory. A number of “counterfeits” have sprung up over the decades since that time, though. For example, if someone is telling you that the Hebraic restoration is based on a particular religious form or ritual, even involving a specified way of praying or worshipping, then they are today’s “circumcision group” which Paul confronted during his ministry (see Galatians 2:12; 5:6; 6:13; Titus 1:10; also Philippians 3:3).

Thirty years ago the circumcision group was more commonly known as “the Jewish roots movement”. Many within this movement insisted that participants embrace traditional Jewish form and ritual as the only acceptable way of relating to God. Some went so far as declaring that participants should learn Hebrew, conjecturing that Hebrew is the language that’s spoken in heaven. Sadly, in recent years this group has hijacked the word “Hebraic” as a cover for the same theological bewitching (Galatians 3:1) that Paul challenged.

Restoring the biblically-Hebraic, love-grounded obedient trust which our Lord Jesus role-modeled and perfectly fulfilled is the message which our heavenly Father has given us to share with you over the course of these three decades. Please, ask Him if what we're sharing is true. If so, then respond accordingly.
