Church Poison In The Gospels

According To Matthew…

Even after four hundred years of silence from the Prophets, who spoke for God as they were inspired, all the way up to and including Malachi we find Matthew a tax collector and a Jew announcing the King of the Jews to the Jewish people. Matthew writes to the Jewish people for one reason, to let them know that Jesus is the Messiah, the Christ, the King of Israel. A thousand years of prophetic word has been spoken and the manifestation of the God inspired Prophets called of God to speak to His people is now being introduced, Jesus Christ the Son of God, The Lamb of God, The Christ of God. God’s plan of salvation and redemption is alive and is, as promised by God being presented by Matthew to the Jewish people.

Church Poison In Matthew

There is a significant turn of events that take place in the twelfth chapter of Matthew. This is a real turning point in the ministry of Jesus Christ. The poison of a false witness, by a false leadership is in the air. The so-called leadership of the religious machine of the nation of Israel attempts to speak not for God, because His spokesman is His Son, but for their own man made religious group. The Pharisee’s have had many years without prophetic guidance to misread, misinterpret, add to and take away from what God has already said. So here in the twelfth chapter we see that the Pharisee’s who are more of a political group than a religious group come to the fore front and formally reject Jesus Christ as the Messiah the Lion of Judah, the God sent One, the King of Israel.

It is important to note;

At this very moment the ministry of Jesus Christ takes an immediate change. His attention is increased toward the disciples and now He begins to prepare them for His coming death. His teaching of parables.

The Leaven of the Pharisee’s…

Matthew 12:22-45 Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw. Mt 12:23 and all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the Son of David?” Mt 12:24 Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.

” Mt 12:25 But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. Mt 12:26 “If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? Mt 12:27 “And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. Mt 12:28 “But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. Mt 12:29 “Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. Mt 12:30 “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad. Mt 12:31 “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 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. Mt 12:33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. Mt 12:34 “Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Mt 12:35 “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. Mt 12:36 “But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. Mt 12:37 “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Mt 12:38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.” Mt 12:39 But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. Mt 12:40 “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Mt 12:41 “The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here. Mt 12:42 “The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon;

And indeed a greater than Solomon is here.

The Dangers Of Spiritual Emptiness…

Mt 12:43 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Mt 12:44 “Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Mt 12:45 “Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”

The Dangers Of Allowing Others To Speak For You…

The Religious Machine, wants to be able to produce the guide lines for your Christian life, the offense of the Cross of Christ, and what the this means, and what was accomplished by the Son of God is to be dictated to you by them. The plan of course is to eliminate the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said that His sheep here His voice, that is not a suggestion. So I ask you where do you get your information.
