The lure of the cults

 People are seduced and lured into cults due to their co-dependency and need of feeling "wanted" and need to feel like they "belong".  This is how cults and cult leaders gain a following.  The seduction of mormonism is because of their belief in family and togetherness - a lure to those who have grown up in dysfunctional families or have been rejected by those they loved.


Many cults gain a following because of the seduction of the followers by the cult leader.  Often times this seduction is sexual with a strong male cult leader seducing female followers and often times the seduction is for a "cause" or a belief system.  This is how hitler gained a following - first because of nationalism and a 'strong Germany' to "Make Germany Great Again" and to "strengthen the economy" after world war one. https://www.ushmm.org/outreach/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007671


Sexual seduction and the moral causes - communism - and the desire to find a place safe from a nuclear war (which he told the members of his people's temple cult would happen on july 15, 1967) is how Jim Jones gained a following that led to  mass murder - suicide of 918 of its members  in Guyana in 1978.

Numerous times in the Old Testament, Ancient Israel followed after ba-al and listened to the false prophet "cult leaders" that tickled their ears with smooth lies and things that made them "feel good".  It is the same today with people flocking to cults and following after false teachers that make them "feel good" about their selves.

The same lure of false teachers and the music they use to seduce followers is what leads people to follow the deceptive and satanic teachings of Hillsong, Bethel-Redding, ihop / nar, the word faith movement, Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, etc.  They are told by these wolves that they "deserve a better life" and "God wants them rich", etc. than to obey what Yahweh says in Scripture.  These people, like Ancient Israel, love the seducing smooth sounding words of the false prophets and refuse to listen to what Yahweh clearly says in His Word.  Like Ancient Israel, these self-deluded people refuse to believe their false teachers are the wolves that Messiah Yeshua and the apostle Paul both warned about.  They think their false prophets are Yahweh's prophets because that is what that wolf pretends to be.

Isaiah 30
9  That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10  Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

2 Timothy 4
3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5  But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Matthew 7:15  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Matthew 24:11  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

Acts 20
28  Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29  For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 
30  Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31  Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

2 Corinthians 11
13  For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

In the end times, Scripture said people would be narcissists and narcissists and this leads to the narcissist  - codependent cycle where people want to be accepted (co-dependent) and they feed the narcissist with flattery and praise (narcissistic supply) to gain acceptance.  This is a VERY toxic situation and most people, unfortunately, are players in this dynamic the closer we near to Messiah Yeshua's return.  These people will keep studying and learning but never understand the truth - they are self deluded and love the lies they accept.

2 Timothy 3
1  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Timothy 3:13  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

This seduction and lure of false prophets is why Yeshua says we are to be willing to leave those who do not obey Him and we are to take up our cross and follow Him no matter the cost.

Matthew10
34  Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35  For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36  And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
37  He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

If you realize you are in a narcissist - codependent relationship or fellowship, you need to repent of whichever role you were in and turn to Messiah Yeshua and follow HIM and HIM ALONE.  Your "friends" and family are not worth spending eternity in hell because you chose them over obeying Yahweh and following Yeshua.  MANY who claim to be His followers will be rejected by Yeshua because they REFUSED to obey - either because they were deceived by a wolf they CHOSE to follow that said they did not have to obey or because they CHOSE their friends and family over Yeshua.

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Matthew 7
21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. ^G458

 Strong's number G458 iniquity (transliterated as anomia)   :
anomia
1) the condition of without law
     a) because ignorant of it
     b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness 

Nobody knows how much time they have left.  The rapture is very close and, even so, you may be taken from this earth before then.  The time to repent is now because you do not know what the next few seconds hold.  You definitely do not want to believe you are a Christian and have Yeshua tell you "Get out of my site you evildoer" because you CHOSE to follow a false teacher and did what they said instead of follow Messiah Yeshua and Obey what the Father, Yahweh, said to do.

dominionism infiltration of the church

A very good teaching on the dominionism apostasy infiltrating the church.  This is one of the apostate movements that is popularized by ihop / NAR, Bethel-Redding and Hillsong as well as Rick Warren and the word-faith movement.  This is sneaking into so many churches and fellowships by the wolves that befriend others to destroy them that most people do not realize what happened and buy into it because their "friend" teaches it as truth. Many wolves flatter others to seduce them into following their satanic doctrines.  They tell the ones they are seducing that they are "generals in "god's" army" or tell them how wonderful they are.  Wolves flatter others to hell.

Remember Lot's wife

When Yeshua spoke of the end times, He gave a warning:  Remember Lot's Wife after stating that the end times would be like the days or Noah and the days of Lot:

Luke 17
26  And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27  They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29  But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30  Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31  In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32  Remember Lot's wife.

This came to me the other day when I was listening to the local Christian radio station and there was a song about making america  great again.  This is part of the dominionism movement which wants to take over america and make it perfect so Yeshua can return.  The kingdom now / dominion theology is part of the great apostasy of the NAR (new apostolic reformation) / ihop / hillsong / and bethel-redding / Rick Warren (and their associated churches)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_Theology

Kingdom Now theology is a branch of Dominion Theology which has had a following within Pentecostalism. It attracted attention in the late 1980s.[17][18]

Kingdom Now theology states that although Satan has been in control of the world since the Fall, God is looking for people who will help him take back dominion. Those who yield themselves to the authority of God's apostles and prophets will take control of the kingdoms of this world, being defined as all social institutions, the "kingdom" of education, the "kingdom" of science, the "kingdom" of the arts, etc.[19] C. Peter Wagner, the founder of the New Apostolic Reformation, writes: "The practical theology that best builds a foundation under social transformation is dominion theology, sometimes called 'Kingdom Now.' Its history can be traced back through R. J. Rushdoony and Abraham Kuyper to John Calvin."[20]

Kingdom Now theology is influenced by the Latter Rain movement,[21] and critics have connected it to the New Apostolic Reformation,[22] "Spiritual Warfare Christianity",[21] and Fivefold ministry thinking.[23]

Kingdom Now theology should not be confused with Kingdom theology, which is related to inaugurated eschatology.

We are in the very end of times and Yahweh said what was going to happen and it is not about false apostles of the NAR making america great again and taking over the country and making it "good enough for Jesus to return" which is what they, and their sock puppet Tea Party, is all about.

Yeshua said when the time is getting near to His return that His followers will know it and we are to LOOK UP and watch for His return just like Lot and His family were told to not look back when they were leaving sodom.  We are to be watching for Yeshua in this late hour not longing for the "good old days" and trying to repair this broken nation when it is under the judgment of Yahweh.  Yes, we are to continue to be salt and light although trying to circumvent what Yahweh is doing is working against His will, not for it.  We are not to be looking back to what was like Lot's wife looked back to sodom, we are to be looking for Messiah's very soon return and not be pining for the past (like Ancient Israel did for egypt after the Exodus) or looking back to try and "make america great again:

Luke 21:28  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Genesis 19
23  The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24  Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
25  And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26  But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

We are to be watching for Messiah Yeshua's VERY soon return and not have our eyes and hearts in this world.  America will NOT be "great again" and things will NOT be getting better on earth until Messiah sets up His millenial kingdom.  Do not be sucked into the false kingdom now theology led by the apostate church and false antichrist ministries.  They will use music, patriotism, and everything else to seduce you and deceive you into following them down the broad road to hell right along with them.

2 Corinthians 11
13  For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

2 Thessalonians 2
10  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

NOW is the time to repent and watch for Messiah Yeshua's  very soon return.  America will NOT become great again - read your bible and open your eyes to the season we are in and do not fall for the lying deceptions of the apostate churches.

Wolves and infiltrators: out to destroy Yeshua's sheep

This is the end of the end of days and as we near the coming of Messiah, everything spoken of in scripture will intensify just as birth pains intensify when it is near the time of birth.  There will be numerous wolves among the church that are out to destroy those who belong to Yeshua.  They will lie about Yeshua's followers, slander them, and do whatever they can to discredit and destroy them. 

Matthew 7:15  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Acts 20
29  For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30  Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31  Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

These wolves want a following.  They are out to make a name for them selves using Messiah Yeshua's name to do so.  They will seduce others into following after them telling their followers whatever they want to hear and making their followers feel wanted and secure in their group - as long as their followers do as they say and believe what the wolf wants them to believe.  This is how cults operate.

Ezekiel 22
25  There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
26  Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
27  Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
28  And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.

2 Timothy 3
1  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Timothy 3:13  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

Messiah Yeshua said these evildoers would lie about and slander those who are His:

Luke 6:22  Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

This is what happened to me and I know just how evil these wolves can be.  I have followed Messiah since I was young and never strayed very far.  Yes, I have sinned (everyone has) although I have never fallen into a pattern of sin and when I did things Yahweh was not happy with, He quickly brought me back to following Yeshua.  This was not a pattern of sin but of life choices that was not fully Yahweh's will for my life.  For example, I trained race horses for several years before attending college for the first time.  Training race horses where gambling was involved was not Yahweh's will and He led me out of it and into college.  That and competing horses on the Sabbath was the biggest straying from Yahweh I have done.  Once I was shown how importance the Sabbath is to Yahweh, I stopped competing horses and gave up the chance of qualifying for the olympics in the 1980s.  I also gave up pursuing an airline pilot job because the obeying Yahweh and remembering the Sabbath was way more important to me than either competing at the olympics or flying commercial airplanes. 

Several years ago I was in a "fellowship" that was infested with wolves and jezebels that sought to destroy me.  They lied about me and slandered me and said I was "not living the life I said I was living" in order to discredit my walk with Yeshua as being "false".  I do not know all the lies that were told - all I can say is may Yahweh strike down the liars, manipulators, and evildoers and bless those that are righteous through Yeshua ---- so if I'm the evildoer, may Yahweh strike me down - and if they are the evildoers, may Yahweh strike them down.  I have nothing to fear as I know my walk is much more deeper than my talk and has been since I was very young.  What saddens me is everyone who believed the lies and nobody came to me to ask what the truth is.  Many of the wolves caused problems and then went to the "leadership" and claimed I was the one causing problems - pure wolves who were set out to discredit me as a person as well as my walk with Yeshua.  Not a single one has apologized as commanded in scripture (I apologized although I have no idea what I was apologizing for and my apology was not accepted and I was told it was a "false apology" to "manipulate")

Proverbs 18:17  The first to state his case seems right, till the other one comes and cross-examines.

Matthew 5
22  but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire.
23  If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee,
24  leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Mark 11
25  And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26  But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Please watch the video I posted by Pastor Steve Mitchell on Jude - it is very good regarding the false prophet infiltrators.  He shows the importance of marking out the wolves and keeping a fellowship clean of trouble makers.  Fellowships are suppose to be for believers.  You go out into the world to witness to unbelievers and then fellowship with the believers.  If you allow wolves and devils into your fellowship, it becomes a den of demons.  Even as hard as you try to keep your fellowship clean, there will still be wolves who are among you:

Way of Cain:  Murderer
Error of Balaam: Greedy hireling will do anything for money
Gainsaying of Core (Korah) : Rebelious and leading rebellion

Jude 1
11  Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12  These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13  Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. 

Romans 1
21  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 
27  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29  Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30  Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31  Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32  Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
